Living with kidney failure, also called end-stage renal disease, is hard. It means 85-90% of your kidney function is gone. You’re dealing with a lot of difficult symptoms from toxins building up in your blood — weakness, shortness of breath, swelling, nausea, and trouble thinking. And you have to choose between complex treatment options.

At UVA Health, we’re here with you every step of the way. We'll help you stay as healthy as possible and find the best treatment.
