چکیده
The 21st century has come as an era of chronic diseases including chronic kidney diseases. Treatment at the end stage of kidney failure involves replacing the lost functions of kidneys by dialysis or by a kidney transplant. The end stage renal disease (ESRD) population is increasing worldwide. The National Kidney Foundation says that “rates of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the United States have increased by more than 20% over the past decade, causing dramatic loss of life and sky-rocketing health care costs, according to the 2008 annual report by the US Renal Data System”(National Kidney Foundation ,2009).
