What are Kidneys?
Kidneys are bean-shaped organs that are around the size of a fist. They’re tucked under your ribs and toward the back of your neck. Most people have two functioning kidneys, but as long as one of them is functioning properly, they can live happily.

Waste products build up in your body when your kidneys aren’t working properly. You may become ill if this occurs. Kidney failure can be life-threatening in the most serious cases. However, with the correct medicine, many patients can manage renal failure.

Causes of Renal Failure

Kidney failure occurs when 85-90 percent of your kidney function has been lost, and your kidneys are no longer able to keep you alive. There is no cure for renal failure, but with therapy, it is possible to live a long life. Renal disease is not a death sentence, and persons with kidney failure can still live active lives and pursue their passions. Kidney failure is most commonly caused by high blood pressure and diabetes. They can also be harmed as a result of physical trauma, illnesses, or other conditions. However, kidney failure might strike suddenly due to an unanticipated cause.

Acute renal failure occurs when the kidneys lose function suddenly (within hours or days) (or acute kidney injury). Kidney failure of this type is usually only transient. Acute renal failure can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

  • Kidney autoimmune disorders
  • Certain medication
  • Dehydration can be a serious problem
  • An blockage in the urinary tract
  • Heart and liver disease are examples of uncontrolled systemic diseases

Chronic renal disease can also be caused by the following factors:

  • Cysts (fluid-filled sacs) build inside your kidneys in polycystic kidney disease, a hereditary disorder
  • Glomerular disorders limit the kidneys’ ability to filter waste, such as glomerulonephritis
  • Lupus and other autoimmune illnesses can have a wide range of effects on the body

In India, there are roughly 7.85 million persons who suffer from chronic renal failure

Treatment

Treatment for kidney failure is influenced by the nature and severity of the problem. Kidney disease can be slowed down by treating a chronic medical condition. Our doctor may use one or more measures to monitor your health if your kidneys begin to lose their functionality gradually. Our doctor can help you keep your kidneys functioning as long as possible by keeping a careful eye on you. People with renal failure require treatment to stay alive because the kidneys serve such a crucial function. The following are the most common therapies for renal failure:

Dialysis: It is a treatment that assists the body in filtering the blood (doing the job that the kidneys can no longer perform).

  • Hemodialysis is a procedure in which a machine cleans your blood on a regular basis. This renal failure medication is usually given three or four times a week at a hospital or dialysis center.
  • Peritoneal dialysis uses a catheter and a dialysis solution to clean the blood in a somewhat different way. People can sometimes complete their treatment at home.
