Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top End-stage kidney disease occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to function at a level that is necessary for day to day life. It usually occurs as chronic renal failure progresses to the point where kidney function is less than 10% of baseline. At this point, the kidney function is so low that without dialysis or kidney transplantation, complications are multiple and severe, and death will occur from accumulation of fluids and waste products in the body. In the United States, nearly 300,000 people are on long-term dialysis and more than 20,000 have a functioning transplanted kidney. The most common cause of ESRD in the US is

("Acute" means sudden, "renal" refers to the kidneys.) Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The kidneys filter wastes and excrete fluid by using the bloodstream's own natural pressure. There are numerous potential causes of damage to the kidneys: Decreased blood flow this may occur when there is extremely low blood pressure caused by trauma, complicated surgery, septic shock , hemorrhage, or burns ; associated dehydration ; or other severe or complicated illnesses. Acute tubular necrosis ( ATN ) may occur when tissues aren't getting enough oxygen or when the renal artery is blocked or narrowed (see acute arterial occlusion of the kidney and renal artery stenosis Over-exposure to metals, solvents, radiographic contrast materials, certain antibiotics, and other medications or substances.
