What is Kidney Failure?
The failure of any vital organ to function as it should or at all is known as a failure because that organ is no longer functioning as it should. We treat many types of kidney disease, some of which lead to kidney failure.
Consultants of Kidney Disease, with offices in each target location: Dallas, North Dallas, Rockwall, Rowlett, Mesquite, Royse City, Plano, Richardson, Lancaster, TX, and surrounding areas, explain that if you have diabetes, hypertension, lupus, or another condition, you are at risk for kidney failure. Some diagnoses, such as diabetes, can easily lead to kidney failure as the kidneys begin to deteriorate, leading to the inability to function.
When your kidneys begin to fail, they cannot sufficiently filter waste and excess fluid from your body, thus causing a dangerous buildup of toxic waste. Depending on your diagnosis, our doctors uncover and treat underlying conditions accordingly.
- We may recommend definitive lifestyle changes.
- We may recommend specific supplements.
- We may recommend a dietary consultation to change your diet.
- Dialysis is a last resort when all approaches fail.
Kidney disease and kidney failure affect all of your organs, causing these organs to work overtime. Eventually, another organ may fail due to the stress put on that organ to keep working, such as the heart.
