		Kidney failure is defined as the inability of the kidney to excrete metabolites at normal plasma levels under normal loading, or inability to retain electrolytes when intake is normal; in the acute form, marked by uremia (excess of end-products in the blood) and usually by oliguria (diminished urate secretion) with hyperkalemia and pulmonary edema.
		Kidney failure seems to be quite common in Green Iguana's due to the fact that their keepers continue to feed them animal protein in their diets, and due to the fact that they often do not get enough fluids in their diet.
		Treatment for kidney failure involves treating any underlying illnesses that might be causing the kidney failure, evaluation and correction of the diet, evaluation and correction of the animals housing such as temperature and lighting requirements, therapeutic administration of phosphate binders, and administration of fluids subcutaneously, Intravenously or intraosseous.

	Renal Kidney Failure -- Recommendations and Resources (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Acute renal failure is, as the name implies, a rapidly progressive loss of renal function, generally characterised by oliguria (decreased urine production, quantified as less than 400 to 500 mL/day in adults, less than 0.5 mL/kg/h in children or less than 1 mL/kg/h in infants), body fluid disturbances and electrolyte derangement.
		The kidneys are bean-shaped excretory organs in vertebrates.
		The upper parts of the kidneys are partially protected by the eleventh and twelfth ribs, and each whole kidney is surrounded by two layers of fat (the perirenal fat and the pararenal fat) which help to cushion it.

	Renal (Kidney) Failure
		Renal failure results from damage to the nephrons, causing them to not function properly.
		Acute renal failure is often the result of major damage to the kidneys, such as infection, decreased blood flow to the kidneys, drugs that can be harmful to the kidneys, toxins such as antifreeze, or blockage of urine outflow from the kidneys, such as stones lodged in the ureters or urethra.
		Chronic renal failure is often more gradual in onset and by the time the pet is showing clinical signs it is difficult to pinpoint what initially caused the insult to the kidneys.

		Renal failure (kidney failure) occurs when kidney function has deteriorated to such a degree that the kidneys can no longer perform their normal functions of excreting wastes, maintaining water and electrolyte balance, and producing hormones.
		Because of this redundant kidney tissue, it is possible to donate a kidney for transplantation and survive.
		Treatment for chronic renal failure is tailored to the unique clinical requirements of each pet but may include a special diet (e.g., limiting protein, phosphorus, and salt intake); hydration therapy; and medications designed to control clinical signs (such as poor appetite, nausea, and vomiting), acid-base and electrolyte disturbances, anemia, and hypertension.

	Michigan Veterinary Specialists - Chronic Kidney Failure
		Chronic renal failure (CRF) is evidenced by a build-up of waste products and the inability of the kidneys to concentrate urine; it typically occurs when there is permanent irreversible damage to at least 75% of the kidney tissue.
		The actual function of the kidneys cannot be improved by treatment; the goals of treatment are to decrease the workload on the kidneys, decrease the adverse signs associated with CRF, and prevent progressive damage to the kidneys.
		The kidneys have a large amount of reserve tissue and are still able to properly function when 50% of the tissue has been damaged (or one kidney has been removed).

		The body has two kidneys (a right and a left) that are located on either side of the spine around the area of the last rib.
		The kidneys' ability to perform these functions is partially determined by the flow of blood to the kidney.
		Kidney transplants are currently being done ate the University of California, Davis and the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

	CRF - Canine Renal Failure or Kidney Insufficiency (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Aggressive fluid therapy early in renal failure (it is important to be certain the kidneys are at least producing some urine output before getting TOO aggressive) can make a big difference in prognosis.
		The term kidney failure should probably be used to describe the terminal stages of kidney insufficiency, or the point where the kidneys are actually no longer functioning at all.
		So response to treatment is the way that we try to differentiate between patients whose kidneys are not working well but who have enough remaining kidney function to allow management of their condition for some time and patients whose kidneys have so much damage that they are unable to respond to therapy.

	Kidney failure, acute - MayoClinic.com
		Acute kidney failure is the sudden loss of your kidneys' ability to perform their main function — eliminate excess fluid and waste material from your blood.
		Acute kidney failure tends to occur after complicated surgery, after a severe injury or when blood flow to your kidneys is disrupted.
		If acute kidney failure occurs in the context of severe chronic illness — a heart attack, stroke, overwhelming infection or multiorgan failure — the outcome is often worse.

	Chronic Renal (kidney) Failure in Cats - Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
		Once this happens, the kidneys are unable to remove the waste from the body and therefore these wastes build up in the cat causing poisoning.
		Acute kidney disease is a sudden decline in kidney function.
		The kidneys are no longer able to conserve water and concentrate urine, therefore more urine is produced and the cat drinks more to make up for this extra urine output.

	Acute Renal (Kidney) Failure in Dogs
		Acute kidney failure (acute renal failure or ARF) is characterized by an abrupt decline in kidney function that leads to changes in the chemistry of the body including alterations in fluid and mineral balance.
		Acute kidney failure can be caused by toxic injury to the kidneys, decreased blood flow and oxygen delivery to the kidneys, infections, obstruction of the kidneys and prevention of urine elimination caused by a ruptured bladder.
		The recent recognition of kidney failure is not necessarily the same as acute renal failure, since some animals with chronic kidney failure tolerate it for some time before symptoms are apparent.

	Chronic Renal Failure
		In chronic kidney failure, urine is usually produced in excessive quantities.
		When the kidneys fail over a long time period, they lose their ability to concentrate urine and more water is required to excrete the same amount of toxin.
		Kidney failure is a complicated disease with many facets.

	Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) - nephrologychannel
		The kidneys attempt to compensate for renal damage by hyperfiltration (excessive straining of the blood) within the remaining functional nephrons (filtering units that consist of a glomerulus and corresponding tubule)
		Yet, it is not until over 70% of the normal combined function of both kidneys is lost that most patients begin to experience symptoms of kidney failure.
		Even a kidney biopsy may be inconclusive, because all forms of kidney failure eventually progress to diffuse scarring and look the same on kidney biopsy.
