Kidney failure occurs when your kidneys lose the ability to work well enough to support your body’s needs – and this can happen even if you are still making urine. There are two main types:
Acute Kidney Failure: A sudden loss of kidney function, often due to dehydration, severe infection, surgery, or certain medications. It may be reversible with prompt treatment.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): A gradual, permanent loss of kidney function over time. When kidney function drops below 10%, dialysis or a kidney transplant may be needed. This stage is called End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).
