| | CRF that leads to severe illness and requires some form of renal replacement therapy (such as dialysis) is called end-stage renal disease (ESRD). | | | The goal of therapy is to slow down or halt the otherwise relentless progression of CRF to ESRD. | | | Chronic renal failure (CRF, or "chronic kidney failure", CKF) is a slowly progressive loss of renal function over a period of months or years and defined as an abnormally low glomerular filtration rate, which is usually determined indirectly by the creatinine level in blood serum. |

| | If ARF progresses to the point where waste products are building up in his body, he may need renal replacement therapy such as hemodialysis or continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration to remove them. | | | This means reestablishing blood flow to the kidneys for a prerenal condition, treating intrinsic renal disease such as acute glomerulonephritis, or removing a postrenal obstruction. | | | Unlike chronic renal failure, in which 90% to 95% of nephrons cease to function permanently over time, ARF occurs when the kidneys are taxed suddenly, causing 50% or more of nephrons to lose function so fast that the body can’t compensate. |
