It is a disorder in which a person’s kidneys suddenly become incapable of removing waste products and toxins from the blood.
The kidneys lose their ability to eliminate unwanted materials and help balance fluids, electrolytes, and control production of red blood cells in the body. These problems occur instantaneously and within a small period of time. The symptoms are difficult to identify.
An artificial procedure–kidney dialysis–is implemented to perform all the functions that were done naturally by the kidneys. Kidney dialysis expels harmful toxins from the bloodstream and maintains a proper level of beneficial fluids and enzymes in the body.
Home Remedies for Kidney Failure:
- Keep yourself hydrated throughout the day. But in end-stage or so, fluid intake has to be limited to avoid extra burden on kidneys. Water has unique dissolving properties that dilute the urine, and this dilution prevents the formation of clusters of minerals and salts (stones) in the body.

It has been found that people who eat vegetarian foods are less prone to the risk of kidney failure than those who eat non-vegetarian food. So, encourage the consumption of a vegetarian diet.
