EKD Study (End-stage Kidney Disease Study)

The End-stage Kidney Disease Study (EKD Study) focuses on understanding how end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) affects patients' lives and health outcomes. ESKD occurs when kidneys are severely damaged and can no longer function, requiring treatments like dialysis or a kidney transplant. The study collects data on patients' experiences, treatment options, and overall well-being to improve healthcare strategies and support for those living with ESKD. By examining different factors, such as lifestyle and medical care, the EKD Study aims to enhance patient outcomes and inform clinical practices in kidney disease management.
