Kidney failure
  

Kidney failure is relatively rare. It occurs in about one in every 2,000 people. Kidney failure means the kidneys are not doing their job of:

  • Removing wastes and water from the blood
  • Balancing chemicals in the body
  • Releasing hormones
  • Controlling blood pressure
  • Helping to produce red blood cells
  • Producing vitamin D which keeps the bones strong and healthy
