Which word means having to do with the kidneys?
The word is "renal." It refers to anything related to the kidneys, such as renal function, renal failure, or renal disease.
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.

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.
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 happens to the specific gravity of urine when kidneys are unable to filter solutes?
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.
What are the adjectives for kidney?
The medical adjective for the kidneys is renal. The adjective nephric can also refer to the kidneys and their related tissues.
Does people with renal failure have use of their pancreas?
Yes. Renal Failure causes people to lose function of their kidneys, the pancreas, however, is fine. Unless of course they have some other pancreatic disease or condition.
