Only two generations ago, a diagnosis of renal failure was the diagnosis of a terminal condition. But in the last 35 years, great strides in medical technology has made treatment with artificial kidney machines and kidney transplantation the norm, adding years, even decades to the lives of patients whose kidneys have failed.
