6. Other Kidney Conditions
Another type of kidney condition that can cause chronic kidney failure is kidney stones. These will usually pass through the system without causing any real harm, but they can sometimes block the kidneys. Such a blockage can lead to more severe complications in the long term.
Other conditions that can cause kidney failure include inflammation of the kidney’s tubules, and of filtering systems known as glomeruli. Somebody that experiences regular kidney infections is also more likely to develop chronic kidney disease. In addition to kidney conditions, people that have type 1 or type 2 diabetes are also in a higher risk group.
