Chronic kidney disease (chronic renal disease) is a term for a progressive loss or impairment of kidney function. Its most common symptoms are a loss of appetite and a general feeling of illness, with the occasional bit of blood in the urine, but it is most often detected not by its symptoms but by routine medical examinations. Doctors take care to ensure that kidney disease medications are prescribed the second they are necessary, because impaired kidney function can easily prove incredibly deleterious, if not fatal.

The kidneys play a crucial role in the body’s functioning – most notably, they act as primary filterers of the blood, primary regulators of blood pressure, and the filterers of urine. When they become damaged, a host of blood disorders can develop and many medications can become dangerous to use, as they cannot be safely excreted from the bloodstream by the kidneys. PhosLo (calcium acetate) is used to treat late-stage kidney disease and prevent excessive blood levels of phosphates, potential causes of bone problems.
