Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward compositional combination: 'chronic' (long-term) + 'renal' (related to kidneys) + 'failure' (loss of function) yields 'long-term loss of kidney function'. Although the term is medical/technical, its meaning follows regular English adjective-noun composition and has clear cross-linguistic equivalents, so a learner who knows the constituents will understand it.
Etymology
The medical term chronic renal failure literally names the problem. Chronic means 'long-lasting', renal refers to the kidneys, and failure means they 'stop working', so the phrase describes 'a long-term loss of kidney function'.
