SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY, SSI FOR END STAGE RENAL DISEASE

Can you get ssd ssi disability for end stage renal disease?


End stage renal disease is kidney disease that has progressed to the point where a patient will die without proper treatment.

End stage renal disease, or esrd, is typically caused by uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes, glomerulonephritis, and polycystic kidney disease. Treatment for esrd generally involves three options: transplantation, peritoneal dialysis, and hemodialysis.

Hypertension, glomerulonephritis, and diabetic nephrology are the most common causes for end stage renal disease in Europe and North America. Once end stage renal disease is diagnosed, physicians treat the underlying cause in an effort to slow the progression of the disease. Eventually, most patients with end stage renal disease will have to have a renal replacement treatment in order to survive.

Currently, there are two replacement therapy treatment options: dialysis to cleanse the blood or kidney transplants. Although dialysis may prolong an individual’s life indefinitely, it severely limits an individual’s quality of life. Currently, the most successful treatment for end state renal disease is kidney transplants and as with any surgery there is always a risk of surgical complications. Additionally, end stage renal disease transplant patients will have to take drug therapy to suppress their own immune system, and that may lead to other gratuitous infections.

Generally speaking, an individual who is receiving hemodialysis, or is on a organ transplant list, will have no difficulty in being approved for social security disability or ssi benefits based on disability.
