Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste from the blood, leading to symptoms like muscle weakness, cramps, and pain. Common causes include high blood pressure and diabetes. Although CKD is chronic and irreversible, treatments such as medications and lifestyle changes can help improve the underlying disease and prevent and manage complications. Early detection and proper management are crucial in slowing the progression of kidney damage.
