Chronic renal failure refers to a decrease in the purification function of the kidneys. When chronic renal failure reaches the end stage, only the implementation of renal replacement therapy allows the affected subjects to stay alive. Three types of replacement therapy are offered to patients with end-stage renal disease: transplantation, extrarenal purification by peritoneal dialysis, and extrarenal purification by hemodialysis (HD).
