Question 3
Chronic kidney failure is a condition where the kidneys' ability to filter waste from the bloodstream becomes worse over time, generally over a period of years. Acute kidney failure, on the other hand, is the sudden loss of this important ability. To simplify, acute kidney failure comes on quickly and is often curable whereas chronic kidney failure comes on slowly and generally leads to long-term dialysis.
