About Kidney Failure
Kidney or Renal Failure is when your kidneys are no longer functioning to remove waste chemicals and toxins from the blood stream. Kidney failure is typically detected by elevated creatinine levels, abnormal fluid levels in the body, deranged acid levels, abnormal levels of potassium, calcium or phosphate which can lead to anemia. There could also be blood or protein loss through urine. If not treated, renal failure can be fatal.
