Currently, one in seven U.S. adults has chronic kidney disease. With the progression of chronic kidney disease, the kidneys eventually stop functioning resulting in End Stage Kidney Disease (also known as End Stage Renal Disease) or kidney failure. Today, over 800,000 Americans have End Stage Kidney Disease and are dependent on dialysis or a transplant to sustain their life.
