DEFINITIONSDEFINITIONS
Chronic renal disease (CRD)Chronic renal disease (CRD) is a pathophysiologic is a pathophysiologic process (last more than 3 months) with multiple etiologies, process (last more than 3 months) with multiple etiologies, resulting in the inexorable attrition of nephron number and resulting in the inexorable attrition of nephron number and function, and frequently leading to end-stage renal disease function, and frequently leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). (ESRD).
ESRDESRD represents a clinical state or condition in which there represents a clinical state or condition in which there has been an has been an irreversible irreversible loss of endogenous renal function, loss of endogenous renal function, of a degree sufficient to render the patient permanently of a degree sufficient to render the patient permanently dependent upon renal replacement therapy (dialysis or dependent upon renal replacement therapy (dialysis or transplantation) in order to avoid life-threatening uremia. transplantation) in order to avoid life-threatening uremia.
DEFINITIONSDEFINITIONS
AzotemiaAzotemia- - refers to the retention of nitrogenous waste refers to the retention of nitrogenous waste products as renal insufficiency developsproducts as renal insufficiency develops
UremiaUremia-- is the clinical and laboratory syndrome, is the clinical and laboratory syndrome, reflecting dysfunction of all organ systems as a result of reflecting dysfunction of all organ systems as a result of untreated or undertreated acute or chronic renal failure. untreated or undertreated acute or chronic renal failure.
