Many people with reduced renal function have a kidney disease that will get worse. Health problems will develop and worsen as renal function declines. If your renal function drops below 15 percent, you cannot live long without some form of renal (kidney) replacement therapy—either dialysis or transplantation.
Why do kidneys fail?
Most kidney diseases attack the nephrons, causing them to lose their filtering capacity. Damage to the nephrons may happen quickly, as the result of injury or poisoning, but most kidney diseases destroy the nephrons slowly and silently. Only after years or even decades will the damage become apparent. Most kidney diseases attack both kidneys at the same time.
The two most common causes of kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure. If your family has a history of any kind of kidney problems, you may be at risk for kidney disease.
