What is chronic kidney failure?
In chronic kidney failure, kidney function permanently and progressively declines. Waste products and fluid are no longer adequately excreted, which puts a strain on the entire body.
In advanced stages, dialysis is required – which, with good planning, can also be continued during a vacation.

Typical symptoms include fatigue, fluid retention, high blood pressure, anemia, and reduced physical capacity. Early stages often progress without significant symptoms.
