What is renal failure?

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.
