Kidney failure is a disease in which the kidney does not function properly and therefore cannot eliminate toxins from the body, which can lead to symptoms such as weakness, itching or swelling in the body, for example.
Usually, the patient has difficulties in accepting and living with the disease, as well as controlling thirst and enjoying meals because the diet of these patients is very restrictive, being necessary to exclude salt and control the intake of fluids and some minerals, such as potassium, sodium and phosphorus, for example.
