Preferred term

kidney failure  

Definition

  • The kidneys are complex organs that perform many functions, including maintenance of fluid and acid–base balance, removal of waste products, stimulation of red blood cell production, and regulation of calcium stores. Failure of the kidney can affect one or all of these functions, and may occur suddenly or gradually. [Source: Encyclopedia of Obesity; Kidney Failure]
