Chronic kidney failure, or chronic kidney disease, is the gradual and prolonged loss of the kidneys' ability to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood.
Common causes: diabetes, long-standing high blood pressure, and other diseases that damage kidney tissue over time.
Which specialist handles it? The nephrologist is the professional dedicated to kidney health and to following up on this condition; the internist can also take part in the comprehensive evaluation. Detecting any sign early and consulting a professional helps take better care of kidney function.
