Los riñones filtran los desechos y el exceso de líquido de la sangre. La enfermedad renal, o insuficiencia renal, ocurre cuando los riñones pierden su función, con mayor frecuencia con el tiempo. Cuando los riñones no funcionan, se pueden acumular cantidades peligrosas de líquidos y desechos en el cuerpo, causando síntomas como fatiga, náuseas, hinchazón, presión arterial alta y mucho más.
