The causes for kidney failure can be so many. What causes kidney failure is still not understood in some cases. Kidney failure in a person can occur at any age and if it is diagnosed early, chances are damage can be arrested. In many cases of kidney failure where early treatment is given, the prognosis for full recovery from the disease is excellent. Chronic kidney failure appears more common in geriatric dogs than cats and occasionally it is documented in species such as rabbits, birds, reptiles etc. Damage is usually irreversible but the severability of the disease can be temporarily modulated with careful medical and dietary controls. Hope this helps.
In the later stages of renal failure, the kidneys are not working properly and are not filtering out the toxins as well as they were able to when the renal failure began. As renal failure progresses, more of the animal's kidney function is decreased. Therefore, the more damage that is done during the disease process, the less toxins are filtered out by the kidneys.
In medicine, specific gravity is used to measure the function of kidneys. Decreased specific gravity means that there is a lower concentration of solutes in urine, which may indicate decreased kidney function or renal failure.
