Abstract

Chronic renal failure is also known as chronic kidney disease in which there is progressive loss in kidney function over a period of months or years. The symptoms of worsening kidney function are not specific and might include feeling generally unwell and experiencing a reduced appetite. The definition of chronic kidney disease has been simplified over the last 5 years. It is now defined as the presence of kidney damage for a period greater than 3 months. An estimated or measured glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 is considered abnormal for all adults. Chronic renal failure is reported to be a silent epidemic disease. CRF is unique amongst the chronic non-infectious illness.
