    GlossaryKidney Failure

    condition where kidneys can't filter waste from blood

    Kidney failure, also known as renal failure, occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to effectively filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood. This can lead to a dangerous buildup of toxins in the body, requiring treatments such as dialysis or a kidney transplant to manage the condition.
