Scope note: Reducción irreversible y generalmente progresiva de la función renal que se produce por daño en ambos riñones debido a una gran variedad de enfermedades, hasta el punto de que los riñones son incapaces de eliminar los productos metabólicos de la sangre y de regular la composición corporal de electrolitos y el equilibrio ácido-básico. La insuficiencia renal crónica requiere HEMODIÁLISIS o cirugía, por lo general TRASPLANTE RENAL.

Scope note: The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
