Kidney failure, the advanced stage of chronic kidney disease, is the irreversible loss of kidney function, often requiring kidney replacement therapy, including dialysis and kidney transplantation.

Most countries, particularly Low-middle income countries ( LMICs), report shortages of at least one health care professional essential for kidney failure care delivery.
