Renal Morbidity

Renal morbidity refers to the range of health complications and functional impairments associated with kidney disease, impacting overall health and quality of life. It is clinically significant as it can lead to increased hospitalisation, cardiovascular issues, and a higher risk of mortality. A key example of renal morbidity is chronic kidney disease (CKD), which can progress to end-stage renal failure, necessitating dialysis or transplantation, significantly affecting patient management and outcomes.
