Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a condition in which kidney function gradually declines over time, potentially leading to kidney failure and other health issues. Causes of CKD include diabetes, high blood pressure, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, and urinary tract obstructions. Those at higher risk include individuals with a family history of kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and those over the age of 60.

Symptoms of CKD can vary but commonly include fatigue, swelling in the legs, shortness of breath, nausea, loss of appetite, difficulty sleeping, and itching. In later stages, symptoms may worsen to include muscle cramps, frequent urination, and decreased urine output.

Prevention of CKD involves managing underlying health conditions, maintaining a healthy weight, following a healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and getting regular check-ups with a healthcare provider. Additionally, those with CKD can improve their well-being by following a kidney-friendly diet, taking prescribed medications, and getting regular kidney function tests.
