Certain chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, can have serious impacts on kidney health. Worldwide, more than 850 million people suffer from kidney disease, making it the 6th leading cause of death in the world in 2020, according to the Kidney Foundation. Renal failure can, at a terminal stage, require the use of dialysis or a transplant, since the organ is no longer able to fulfill its filtration and regulation functions.
