| Abstract: | Chronic renal failure means progressive and irreversible destruction of nephrons involving almost every organ system of the body. Early diagnosis of the disease and conservative therapy can slow down progression towards end stage renal disease. Nocturia/polyuria, anaemia, hypertension, osteodystrophy, reduced kidney size and associated acute renal failure are features which help physician in an early diagnosis. Detailed evaluation of these features has been suggested.KEYWORDS: Anaemia, Chronic, Osteodystrophy, Polyuria, Renal failure |
