Overview

The kidneys don’t function as they should be functioning due to a chronic condition called renal dysfunction. Dangerous levels of wastes may build up in the body when the kidneys lose their filtering capacity, and the blood’s chemical composition may become out of balance.

It is a typical condition that is frequently linked to aging. Although it can affect anyone, certain regions experience this more. Although it is uncommon, renal dysfunction can worsen over time to the point where the kidneys stop functioning altogether. Renal dysfunction is a condition that many people with the condition can live long lives with.
