What happens if kidney disease gets worse? Can it cause other health problems?
As CKD gets worse, you may also get other problems. If CKD keeps getting worse, it also can lead to kidney failure. This means your kidneys no longer work well enough to keep you alive, and you need a treatment like dialysis or a kidney transplant. Overall, kidney transplantation is the recommended treatment option for most people with kidney failure. However, people on dialysis can also have full and happy lives.
