Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. This can lead to a buildup of toxins, high blood pressure, and other health issues. Common causes include diabetes and high blood pressure. CKD often progresses slowly, sometimes without symptoms, until it reaches an advanced stage. Managing CKD involves lifestyle changes, medication, and regular check-ups to slow its progression and maintain kidney function. In severe cases, dialysis or a kidney transplant may be necessary. Regular monitoring is crucial for maintaining health.
