Paciente de sexo masculino de 50 años con insuficiencia renal y sobrepeso.

Kidney failure is a temporary or permanent deterioration of the kidney, which results in the loss of normal kidney function. There are two types of kidney failure, which can be acute and chronic. Chronic kidney failure is slow to progress, which can last at least three months while acute kidney failure occurs suddenly. In this work we will focus on chronic kidney failure. Chronic kidney disease indicates the progressive loss of kidney function. The kidneys filter waste and excess fluid in the blood that will later be eliminated in the urine, therefore if chronic kidney disease reaches its advanced stage it can accumulate a large amount of fluid, electrolytes and wastes in the body. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (stages 1 to 5) in the general adult population of the United States is estimated at 14.8%. Chronic kidney disease can develop from: diabetes, high blood pressure, being overweight and obese, prolonged urinary tract obstruction, kidney stones, glomerulonephritis, a family history of CKD, and being older. Being overweight is a disease that affects the population worldwide and is very common in adults, having a high (BMI) being one of the important factors for CKD to increase.
