Kidney failure occurs when one or both the kidneys lose 85% of their function. Kidneys remove waste products and toxins from the blood. When they stop functioning, the blood becomes progressively toxic and this will affect every part of the body. Kidney failure can be temporary and acute or chronic and progressive, which is the most advanced stage of kidney disease.
