Kidney Failure: Causes, Stages & Treatment
Expert guidance by Prof (Dr) Debabrata Mukherjee, Senior Director of Nephrology at Medanta – The Medicity, Gurugram.
What is Kidney Failure?
Kidney failure, or renal failure, occurs when your kidneys lose the ability to sufficiently filter waste products from your blood. When this happens, toxins build up in the body, which can be life-threatening without specialized intervention. As a leader in renal sciences, Dr. Mukherjee focuses on identifying the root cause to provide the most effective treatment path.
