Chronic renal failure (CRF) can be associated with the following conditions:

  1. Hypertension - CRF can both cause and be a result of hypertension. Inadequate kidney function can lead to fluid overload and increased blood pressure.

  2. Diabetes - Diabetes is one of the leading causes of chronic renal failure, often leading to diabetic nephropathy.

The other options:

  • Osteoporosis: While chronic renal failure can lead to bone disease (renal osteodystrophy), osteoporosis is not directly associated with CRF.

  • Staphylococcal infections: While patients with CRF may be more susceptible to infections due to impaired immune function, Staphylococcal infections are not specifically associated with CRF.

  • Influenza infection: Similar to Staphylococcal infections, while patients with CRF may have a higher risk of infections, influenza is not specifically associated with CRF.

Thus, the conditions associated with chronic renal failure are Hypertension and Diabetes.
