Understanding Kidney Disease Insurance Options

What is Kidney Disease?

Kidney disease refers to any damage or dysfunction of the kidneys, which are two bean-shaped organs located in the lower back. The kidneys play a crucial role in removing waste and excess fluids from the body, regulating electrolyte levels, and controlling blood pressure. Unfortunately, kidney disease is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide.

The risk factors for developing kidney disease include diabetes, high blood pressure, family history, and age. If left untreated, kidney disease can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which requires dialysis or a kidney transplant.
