Hello, end stage renal disease. This term itself it self explanatory for the condition you are having. This means renal disease has reached an end stage where its not going to function and its mostly irreversible.
Dialysis is the best option for patients with ESRD.
Only other option for these patientsis undergoing renal transplant. Which again requires series of tests and fitness for undergoing surgery and much more.
I will advise you to undergo dialysis as there is no other way to remove the waste products from the body.
You can try asking your doctor about renal transplant.
Thank you
