As time went on and the damage is not detected, kidney function continues to decline until it reaches the stage of kidney failure. Usually new kidney failure patients can feel abnormalities if renal function decreased by about 25%. Even for young patients can be under 10%. Not surprisingly, most patients new to a hospital or to a doctor when already in terminal stage. Cases of kidney failure in the world increased by more than 50%.
