Is there any difference between kidney disease and kidney failure?

Yes, there is a difference between kidney disease and kidney failure. Kidney disease refers to any condition that affects the kidneys and impairs their function, such as inflammation, infections, or structural issues. Kidney failure, on the other hand, specifically refers to the kidneys' inability to adequately filter waste products from the blood. Kidney failure is a more advanced stage of kidney disease where the kidneys are no longer able to function properly.
