Chronic kidney disease progresses through 5 stages of increasing severity. Stage 5 is the most severe and often requires kidney replacement to sustain life.

Pregnant women with chronic kidney disease have poor adaptation to increased renal blood flow. This may accelerate the decline in renal function and lead to poor pregnancy outcomes.

Peritoneal dialysis is one of the most effective and convenient methods of treating end-stage renal failure. However, not all patients with end-stage renal failure are suitable for peritoneal dialysis.

End-stage chronic renal failure is a dangerous disease that many people suffer from. Complications of peritoneal dialysis can occur, so patients need to pay special attention when treating end-stage chronic renal failure with this method.

Peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis are the two most common renal replacement therapies in patients with end-stage renal disease. Each has its own advantages and the two methods can complement each other.
