What is Kidney Failure?

Kidney failure, also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD), occurs when the kidneys permanently lose their ability to filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood. As toxins accumulate, the body's balance is affected, leading to serious health complications. Kidney failure usually develops gradually due to chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or inherited kidney disorders.

Common symptoms of kidney failure include:

To sustain life, treatment is essential and typically includes dialysis or a kidney transplant. A transplant is often preferred as it offers better long-term health outcomes and quality of life.
