Detailed explanation-2: -Loss of the remaining working kidney will result in the need for dialysis or a kidney transplant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kidney failure raises the risk of cardiovascular problems, and subsequently – the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Kidney failure affects the heart in several ways: Fluid builds up around the lungs, heart and other body tissue, over-taxing the heart and causing a rise in blood pressure.

Detailed explanation-4: -The good news is that acute kidney failure can often be reversed. The kidneys usually start working again within several weeks to months after the underlying cause has been treated. Dialysis is needed until then.

Detailed explanation-5: -Only after years or even decades will the damage become apparent. Most kidney diseases attack both kidneys at the same time. The two most common causes of kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure.
