Dr. Kogan:

Renal failure is essentially your kidneys stopping to function normally. The kidney stops processing the fluids in our body so that the person stops urinating normally and starts collecting the toxins from whatever we ingest inside the body. As these toxins build up, we feel extremely sick and it can be fatal.

Some of the symptoms of renal failure are dizziness, light-headedness, headaches, nausea, vomiting, severe fatigue, inability to go on with your daily life activities, lack of appetite, severe weight loss.
