Abstract

Kidney failure, encompassing both acute and chronic forms, represents a significant global health challenge due to its profound impact on individual morbidity, mortality, and healthcare systems worldwide. Renal failure is characterized by a marked decline in kidney function, with the capacity of the kidneys reduced to less than 15% of normal levels, leading to the accumulation of waste products and fluid imbalances that manifest as symptoms such as vomiting, edema, fatigue, and cognitive disturbances.
