Chronic Kidney disease is a progressive disease the worsens kidney function.

There are also other issues as you get later in the disease, such as chronic anemia, which can sometimes require blood transfusions. Dr. Kevin Ho, the Director of the Dialysis Network at Univ. of Pittsburgh, discusses late stage chronic kidney disease.
