CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease)

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to function properly. This can lead to a buildup of waste and fluid in the body, impacting overall health. CKD is often caused by conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. Symptoms may include fatigue, swelling, and changes in urination. While CKD can’t always be reversed, it can be managed through lifestyle changes, medication, and regular monitoring. Early detection is crucial to slow its progression and prevent complications such as kidney failure, which may require dialysis or transplants.
