Risk factors:
The two main groups at risk for ESRD are diabetics and those with hypertension. You are also more likely to develop the condition if you have relatives with the disease.
Your risk of developing ESRD also rises when you have any type of kidney disease or condition, including:
-polycystic kidney disease
-Alport syndrome
-interstitial nephritis
-pyelonephritis
-certain autoimmune conditions, such as lupus
Preventing End-Stage Kidney Disease:
In some cases, end-stage kidney disease is not preventable. However, you should keep your blood glucose levels and your blood pressure under control. Always seek medical attention if you experience any ESRD symptoms because early detection and treatment can delay or prevent progression of the disease.
