Why is there an increased risk of toxicity in later stages of renal failure?
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.
What is the most common disease of the kidneys?
