Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
About the disease & condition
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. It usually develops slowly over months or years and is commonly caused by diabetes, high blood pressure, or prolonged kidney damage. In the early stages, CKD may show few symptoms, making regular screening important. Proper management can slow disease progression, reduce complications, and help maintain quality of life.
