Abstract

The prevalence of chronic kidney failure in Indonesia increases with age. The condition of kidney failure characterized by very high plasma urea levels is called uremia. Kidney failure is caused by age, gender, and a history of hypertension, diabetes, and metabolic disorders that result in decreased kidney function. Supplements such as psych stimulants (caffeine and amphetamines) can affect kidney function.

The range of age groups in patients with chronic renal failure are 46-45 years old, 46 patients (28.75%), 56-65 years old, 45 patients (28.13%) and age 76-85 3 patients (1, 87%).Indications for the cause of chronic kidney failure patients were hypertension = 58 patients (36.3%), Diabetes Mellitus (DM) = 52 patients (32.5%), Gout = 16 patients (10%), Lipid Profile =  13 patients (8.1%) , Supplements  = 9 patients (5.6%), Medicines 5 =  patients (3.1%) and Descendants  = 7 patients (4.4%).
