Since erythropoietin is synthesized in the kidney, the effect of kidney failure is to depress red blood cell production. Thus, anemia occurs. The average hemoglobin level for an individual suffering from ESRD (end stage renal disease) is no more than 10.8 in the vast majority of cases.

What is the medical term meaning liver failure?
Renal failure (although I'm pretty sure kidney failure would suffice). To be honest, as a medical term Kidney Failure is "medical" enough. If you want to be a bit more medical then you would want to say Renal Failure. And then depending on whether it's acute or chronic then you would want to say Acute Renal Failure or Chronic Renal Failure. End stage renal disease (ESRD) is another term. And just in case you're interested, it used to called Renal Insufficiency but that term is not really used anymore.

The kidneys filter waste products from the blood, so if they don't work properly, you are essentially poisoned by your own cell waste. Kidney failure results in death if you don't get a transplant or undergo kidney dialysis frequently.

What can you do if your kidney fails?
People who have kidney failure, which is when 90% or more of the kidneys do not work, must be on dialysis. When kidneys fail the body cant cleanse the body of waste. The persons blood will become toxic and the person will die without dialysis or a kidney transplant. That's just with kidney failure. Of course you can live with only one kidney. Say you only had one kidney, that one kidney would have to be over 50% damaged before a person would possibly need to be on dialysis. To simply answer your question, you could have no problems with a damaged kidney, but failed kidneys will cause death.
