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.
Kidney disease damages your kidneys, preventing them from cleaning your blood as well as they should. This damage can cause wastes to build up in your body and lead to other health problems, including heart disease, anemia and bone disease.Chronic kidney disease eventually can cause kidney failure if it is not treated.enal function, or kidney function, is a measure of how well the kidneys are filtering blood. If you have two fully-functioning kidneys, you have all of your renal function (100 percent). A majority of kidney diseases damage renal function by attacking little filtration units in the kidneys, called nephrons.
