Dr Sue Levy (X) Nov 27, 2007:
Dear Sir, if you ask a question in English and not Gr (German, Greek?) then any moderator is going to think it's an English question :-)
Assem Mazloum (asker) Nov 27, 2007:
hi by the way, I didnt choose it as the right answer, it was a slip of finger, I had no sleep and wanted to answer a note from the answerer.
secnd, this question was originally Gr-Gr language, moderator changed it,
as for the previous question there was no decisive result.
how can I amend?
Dr Sue Levy (X) Nov 27, 2007:
And Wikipedia is by no means an "official reference".
Dr Sue Levy (X) Nov 27, 2007:
Why have you asked this question again? You got a perfectly well documented answer from a practising physician the last time, confirming that the two terms were synonymous.

CKF is the last stage of CKD.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), also known as chronic renal disease, is a progressive loss of renal function over a period of months or years through five stages. Each stage is a progression through an abnormally low and progressively worse glomerular filtration rate, which is usually determined indirectly by the creatinine level in blood serum.[1]

Stage 1 CKD is mildly diminished renal function, with few overt symptoms.

Stage 5 CKD is a severe illness and requires some form of renal replacement therapy (dialysis or renal transplant). Stage 5 CKD is also called end-stage renal disease (ESRD). ESRD is how the US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and US federal legislation reference this stage of illness. Stage 5 CKD is also known as chronic kidney failure (CKF) or chronic renal failure (CRF).

If you need Arabic translation, you may change the language pair from English>English to English>Arabic

Anyway, it is القصور الكلوي المزمن/المرض الكلوي المزمن
