Is kidney failure fatal

Answer 1

The kidneys are a vital organ - they remove waste products such as urea and excess sodium from your blood stream. Without them, you would be unable to get rid of these wastes, which build up to a toxic level in the blood and eventually reach fatal levels.

Answer 2

YES! Look, Do you know what they do?! They control where all peepies and poo poos go. And if we're gonna be big kids, you should know that if you still have your urine and solid waste floating aroung in your body, your gonna die! So if this is about you, rush to the hospital!

Answer 3

Kidneys serve to remove toxins formed as byproducts of digestion and metabolism from the system, using a network of filter tubes called nephrons. When the kidneys are unable to de-toxify the blood, waste products like urea and nitrogen compounds accumulate in the blood. This results in gradually progressive loss of consciousness and death.

Answer 4

Because if your kidney fails, your body's electrolytes go haywire. Toxins accumulated from your diet or breakdown of cells/products require the kidney to be passed out of your body too.

Renal failure patients will need haemodialysis until a new kidney can be transplanted for them. If not, they will die.

Answer 5

When kidney failure reaches the stage where dialysis or transplantation is required, refusing such treatment means that the patient will die. This could happen within a few days or weeks, depending on how much kidney function they still have. A patient may decide to explore the option of refusing treatment. It is the responsibility of the medical team to counsel such patients and their families, and support them in their decision.
