Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood effectively. This vital function of the kidneys helps maintain a healthy balance of electrolytes, blood pressure, and overall well-being. CKD often develops silently over time, with symptoms like fatigue, swelling in the legs, and changes in urination appearing only in advanced stages.

Common causes of CKD include diabetes, high blood pressure, and certain genetic disorders, making early detection and management crucial. Left untreated, CKD can lead to serious complications, including heart disease and kidney failure, requiring dialysis or transplantation.
