renal failure and diabetes
Renal failure refers to a condition where the kidneys are unable to effectively filter and eliminate waste from the blood. This can result in a buildup of toxins and harmful substances in the body, adversely affecting overall health. Diabetes, on the other hand, is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high levels of blood sugar (glucose). It occurs when the body either doesn't produce enough insulin (a hormone that regulates blood sugar) or cannot effectively utilize it. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to various health complications, including kidney damage and eventually, renal failure.
