What Is Renal Failure?
5. Ailing Kidneys
In some instances, the kidneys themselves may be the problem. Some diseases, infections or disorders may attack the kidneys and cause them to degrade. When the kidneys suffer any kind of damage, the risk of renal failure increases.
Several conditions may lead to kidney damage. An autoimmune system disease such as lupus may cause the filters inside the organs to swell. Some medications used in the treatment of other medical conditions, such as those used to treat cancer and some antibiotics, can also inflict damage to the kidneys.
