Overview
Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a progressive loss of renal function over time, often leading to end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis or transplantation. It is associated with multiple comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and mineral metabolism disorders.Diagnosis
