Introduction
In clinical trials, CRF usually refers to chronic renal failure. Chronic renal failure is mainly a syndrome caused by the progressive development of chronic kidney disease due to various reasons, especially when timely treatment is not provided or treatment is ineffective. Chronic renal failure typically leads to disturbances in water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance, resulting in the accumulation of toxins in the body that cannot be properly excreted, and may even cause damage to multiple organs throughout the body.

Chronic renal failure is primarily a syndrome caused by the continuous progression of chronic kidney disease due to various reasons, especially when timely treatment is not received or the treatment is ineffective. It commonly leads to disturbances in water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance, resulting in accumulation of toxins in the body that cannot be properly excreted, and may even damage multiple organs throughout the body. The progression of chronic renal failure is generally slow and gradual, but it can rapidly worsen over a short period under certain triggering factors. Therefore, patients should seek prompt medical care to control disease progression and prevent further deterioration. Diagnosis of chronic renal failure can be made through imaging studies and routine blood tests at a hospital. In more severe cases, treatment may involve hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis as directed by a physician.
In addition, patients may also consider kidney transplantation under a doctor's guidance. During treatment, patients must adhere to a low-salt, low-fat diet and maintain healthy lifestyle and sleep habits.
