What is kidney failure?

Your kidneys filter waste and extra fluid out of your blood so they can be removed from your body in your urine. When your kidneys stop working and can no longer do their job, it’s called kidney failure. Your kidneys can lose up to 90 percent of their function and still do their job pretty well. Losing more than that is considered kidney failure. There are two types of kidney failure:

• Acute kidney failure is a sudden loss of kidney function. It’s usually reversible.
• Chronic kidney failure is a gradual loss of kidney function. It gets worse over time and isn’t reversible (but you can slow its progression).

When kidneys fail, waste and extra fluid builds up in your body. This causes the symptoms of kidney failure. There are a lot of symptoms of kidney failure, so here I'll list out the important ones...

  Your kidneys do a lot of other things besides filtering your blood. When kidneys fail, they can’t do their jobs, so complications might occur. For example :

1. Anemia

2. Heart decease

3. High blood pressure

4. weak immune system

5. malnutrition

In a nutshell, living a healthy lifestyle by eating right, being active, and not smoking is another key to keep your kidneys healthy. Always take care of our health so that sickness and decease can be prevented.
