Detailed explanation-1: -Once your kidneys have less than 10 per cent of function remaining, this is called end-stage kidney disease or kidney failure. If you have kidney failure, you need dialysis or a transplant to stay alive. However, some people choose neither of these treatment options, but opt for supportive or palliative care instead.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your kidneys filter about 200 quarts of fluid every day-enough to fill a large bathtub. During this process, your kidneys remove waste, which leaves your body as urine (pee). Most people pee about two quarts daily. Your body re-uses the other 198 quarts of fluid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Filtration fraction (FF) is the fraction of renal plasma flow (RPF) filtered across the glomerulus. The equation is GFR divided by RPF. FF is about 20% which indicates the remaining 80% continues its pathway through the renal circulation.
