Gradual and progressive loss of function of the nephrons
A
Chronic renal failure
B
kidney stones
C
glomerulonephritis
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the slow, gradual loss of kidney function. Some forms of CKD can be controlled or slowed down. For example, diabetic nephropathy can be delayed by tightly controlling blood glucose levels and using ACE inhibitors and ARBs to reduce proteinuria and control blood pressure.

Detailed explanation-2: -In chronic kidney disease, ongoing failure of individual nephrons leads to the progressive loss of renal function. This process results in part from a cellular and molecular response to injury that represents an attempt to maintain homeostasis but instead initiates a program that damages the nephron.
