A Welcome Message from Principal Larson. With a current student enrollment of 727, Hampden Academy and its community have much to celebrate. This community and school are filled with a rich tradition of over 200 years, which helps define who we are as Broncos.
Complete and irreversible kidney failure is sometimes called end-stage renal disease, or ESRD. If your kidneys stop working completely, your body fills with extra water and waste products. This condition is called uremia. Your hands or feet may swell. You will feel tired and weak because your body needs clean blood to function properly.
These organs also maintain electrolyte levels, produce urine and filter waste from the blood. When kidneys are damaged, the declined kidney function will cause kidneys cannot work normally, which may make changes in the sweat glands and oil glands. This is how kidney disease causes skin to dry out.
