Chronic kidney disease is a widespread problem, especially in older people. In an early stage of the disease, the kidneys donât do a good job of removing extra water and waste out of the blood. Over time, the problem gets worse, and the kidneys may completely stop working. This is called end-stage renal disease or ESRD. Renal is another word for kidney.
