Kidney Failure

CKD can progress to kidney failure, which means that the kidneys have lost most of their function.

Kidney failure could lead to:

• Fluid retention and lead to swelling in your arms and legs
• High blood pressure
• Fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema)
• A sudden rise in potassium levels in your blood (hyperkalemia)
