Abstract

Kidney failure is the inability of the kidneys to filter the blood in order to eliminate substances that can be toxic to the body when they are in high concentrations in the blood, such as urea and creatinine, for example. Changes in the functioning of the kidneys can happen due to dehydration, sepsis or damage to the kidneys due to the presence of stones in these organs.
