A member asked:
Could you tell me if only 37% of your kidney is working does that mean renal failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
37% kidney function: At 37% of kidney function (kf), you did not have kidney failure, you have chronic kidney disease (ckd). Most non-diabetic patients start dialysis when their kf is.
