|pagebody = In progressive renal disease, diminished renal reserve causes renal insufficiency and later renal failure and end stage renal disease.
'''Renal insufficiency''' is seen with loss of 50-70% of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), [[azotaemia]] with loss of >75% of the GFR and renal failure and uraemia when the GFR is below 30%.
