Campus Construction Update

Starting September 14, we’re closing the Menino building lobby entrance. This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.

Chronic Kidney Disease

Select your language:

The kidneys filter waste and excess fluid from the blood. Chronic kidney disease occurs when the kidneys lose their function, most often over time. When the kidneys aren’t working properly, dangerous amounts of fluid and waste can build up in the body, causing a range of symptoms that can include fatigue, nausea, swelling, and high blood pressure. Chronic kidney disease can eventually progress to kidney failure.
