kidney damage
Organ filtration impairment
Kidney damage is injury or harm to the kidneys that impairs their ability to filter waste from the blood.
The damage may be acute (sudden, potentially reversible) or chronic (gradual, often permanent).
Causes include diabetes, high blood pressure, infections, and certain medications.
Years of uncontrolled diabetes led to kidney damage.
