Chronic kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease is a condition in which the kidneys gradually lose function over time. The kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste products and excess fluids from the blood, and in maintaining a healthy balance of electrolytes and minerals in the body. Chronic kidney disease can be caused by a variety of factors, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and infections. Symptoms may include fatigue, weakness, and swelling in the legs and ankles. In severe cases, chronic kidney disease can lead to kidney failure, which requires dialysis or kidney transplant.

Treatment options for chronic kidney disease depend on the stage of the disease. In early stages, medication and lifestyle changes may be used to slow the progression of the disease. In later stages, dialysis or kidney transplant may be necessary
