Chronic renal failure is a serious medical condition characterised by a gradual decline in kidney function. 

Chronic renal failure has several causes, the main ones being diabetes, glomerulonephritis or polycystic kidney disease. 

The clinical picture is very broad and reflects the functional impairment of the kidneys. Unfortunately, the effects of chronic renal failure are irreversible. 

However, proper treatment can slow down the relentless progress of the disease. Medica S.p.A. has developed a wide range of filters for adult and paediatric dialysis, ultrafilters for dialysate purification, and blood lines.
