Renal Failure

Renal failure, or kidney failure, occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood effectively. This condition can be acute (sudden onset) or chronic (developing over time). When the kidneys fail, toxins build up in the body, leading to symptoms like fatigue, swelling, and changes in urination. Causes include diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain medications. Treatment may involve medication, dialysis (artificially filtering blood), or a kidney transplant, depending on the severity and type of renal failure. Early detection and management are crucial for better outcomes.
