Answers:
Gradual loss of your kidneys' ability to filter out the poisons that build up in your bloodstream, such as ammonia and other nitrous compounds. ("Chronic" means long-term, gradual, as opposed to "acute" which is a sudden onset.)
There are many ways that the kidneys can be damaged and/or lose their function, but the two most common causes are diabetes (your body doesn't produce enough insulin, which allows the cells in your body to intake sugar for energy) and hypertension (high blood pressure, which damages the vessels in your kidneys). Also, some medications, such as cholesterol-lowering drugs, can damage the kidneys in some patients, so doctors carefully monitor your renal function when you are on these drugs.
If the kidneys fail entirely, then the toxins in your blood have to be removed artifically by dialysis, using a "kidney machine" to clean up your blood.

i think it has to do with your resperatory system.maybe its the weakining of the lungs or sumting. Chronic renal failure (CRF, or "chronic kidney failure", CKF, or "chronic kidney disease", CKD) is a slowly progressive loss of renal function over a period of months or years and defined as an abnormally low glomerular filtration rate, which is usually determined indirectly by the creatinine level in blood serum.
CRF that leads to severe illness and requires some form of renal replacement therapy (such as dialysis) is called end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
