When a patient has ESRD, which system is affected?

End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is a condition in which the kidneys fail to work effectively to remove waste products and excess fluids from the blood. This primarily affects the genitourinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Patients with ESRD often require dialysis or a kidney transplant.

ICD-10-CM (current year), Chapter 14: Diseases of the Genitourinary System (N00-N99).
