What is renal failure?

  1. A mild kidney condition

  2. A type of liver disease

  3. A critical illness resulting in the sudden cessation of kidney function

  4. A urinary tract infection

The correct answer is: A critical illness resulting in the sudden cessation of kidney function

Renal failure is a critical illness that occurs when the kidneys suddenly stop functioning. It is not a mild condition like option A nor is it a type of liver disease like option B. Option D is incorrect because a urinary tract infection only affects the urinary system and not the kidneys. It is important to correctly identify renal failure as it requires immediate medical attention.
