Kidneys play a vital bodily function by filtering the blood under high pressure and removing potential toxins, which are then excreted from the body in the urine. Each day the kidneys filter the body's entire blood volume seven or eight times.

Kidney failure is a serious disease that can have a major impact on life and can unfortunately lead to death. When the kidneys start to fail or are damaged, toxins are not filtered out of the blood, and start to accumulate in the tissues leading to a wide array of health problems.

Kidney failure is also associated with an increase in the volume of water in the body that can result in a swelling of the tissues. The common causes of kidney failure are inflammation of the kidney and diabetes mellitus. Other causes of kidney failure are kidney cysts, kidney stones, high blood pressure, and an immune disorder called systemic lupus erythematosus.

Early syptoms of kideny failure are:

• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Pale Complexion
• Shortness of Breath
• Body Itch
• Unusual Urination Patterns
• Poor Appetite
• Swelling of the Face and Legs
