Research Notes on Renal Failure
The function of kidneys is to filter fluids and waste. Sometimes, kidneys lose this ability, causing dangerous levels of unwanted substances to accumulate in the body, a condition known as renal failure or kidney failure. Without treatment, the buildup of toxins, extra fluid and dangerous levels of minerals in the blood will eventually cause death.
