What Are the Causes of Chronic Renal Failure?
Research shows that in the United States from 1988 to 2010, the prevalence of chronic renal failure is increasing with poor outcomes for patients and rapidly rising costs. According to a 2009 report from the United States Renal Data System (USRDS), in 2007, seven out of every 10 new cases of chronic renal failure listed diabetes or hypertension as the primary cause.
