Progressive deterioration of kidney function. Also called chronic kidney disease.
Loss of kidney function. (See also end-stage renal disease, acute renal failure, and chronic kidney disease.)
Progressive deterioration of kidney function. Also called chronic renal insufficiency. to top
inability of the kidneys to excrete wastes and to help maintain the electrolyte balance
Also known as "renal failure", the kidney's inability to adequately filter waste materials from the blood.
Progressive deterioration of kidney function. Also call chronic renal insufficiency.
a condition in which the kidney cannot filter and excrete waste products
loss of kidney function. May also be referred to as end-stage renal disease or renal failure.
Total failure of the kidneys to filter waste.
Renal function deterioration over a varying period of time, resulting in the failure to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance and excrete nitrogenous waste products. Typically associated with BPH is the obstructive kidney failure, related to obstruction of urine outflow from the bladder, and the consequent increase in hydrostatic pressure in the renal collecting system. It may result in definitive kidney damage and associated systemic changes.
Loss of the ability of the kidneys to remove fluid and toxins from the body. The two most common causes of kidney failure are diabetes and high blood pressure. It may also be caused by other viral or hereditary disorders. Kidney failure is less often caused by damage related to medications, or by other conditions such as kidney stones or injuries.
Describes when the kidney stops working properly, so that it can not filter enough waste or excess water from the blood. It can lead to the person becoming seriously ill.
A condition in which the kidneys stop working and are not able to remove waste and extra water from the blood or keep body chemicals in balance. Acute kidney failure happens suddenly (for example, after an injury) and may be treated and cured. Chronic kidney failure develops over years (related to high blood pressure or diabetes, for example) and cannot be cured. Chronic kidney failure may lead to total and permanent kidney failure, called end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and requires dialysis (process of cleaning the blood by passing it through a membrane or filter) or a kidney transplant.
