Do you know what causes Kidney Failure? That’s okay, we know and are here to share with you the most common causes of this horrible disease

First, we'll explain what kidney failure is.

Kidney Failure is also known as End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). When a person gets to that point of ESRD, it means that their kidneys can no longer perform its function of removing waste product from their body. The kidney then needs an external help (in the form of dialysis machine) to help filter your blood and remove waste products from your body.

Kidney Failure if not properly treated can become a critical and life threatening disease because the body can then no longer effectively remove wastes which in turn, builds up in the blood leading to toxic levels and eventual death.

Some Common Causes of Kidney Failure

-Dehydration: when you have insufficient fluids in your body

-Insufficient blood flow to the kidneys

-Medications: This is one factor that people overlook. Taking too much medications beyond the prescribed dosage and taking some medications for longer than the recommended period can lead to liver failure.

Some medications are also simply toxic to your kidneys, thus it is advisable when you can to do an independent research and understand what substance you are taking into your body.
