A member asked:
Is the whole kidney affected by chronic kidney failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Chronic kidney disease eventually involves the whole kidney. Disorders may start out in one location, but over time the kidney's adaptive processes lead to damage of all glomeruli and tubules.
