چکیده
For many years, the development of severe renal disease was a signal of an imminent death. The launch of hemodialysis for the management of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in March 1960, however, noted a marked change in treatment of ESRD, and subsequently, it’s mortality. Subsequent developments have included peritoneal dialysis, home hemodialysis, and renal transplantation. At present it is possible for persons developing severe renal disease to survive for long periods of time.
