Chronic renal failure represents a slow decline in kidney function over time. Chronic renal failure may be caused by a number of disorders, which include long-standing hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure, lupus or sickle cell anemia. If renal function declines to a low enough level (end-stage renal disease) kidney dialysis may be necessary. A sudden decline in renal function may be triggered by a number of acute disease processes.
