Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition characterized by the gradual loss of kidney function over time. The kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste products and excess fluids from the blood, regulating blood pressure, and producing hormones that control various bodily functions. CKD can develop over months or years and is often asymptomatic in the early stages.Common causes of CKD include diabetes, high blood pressure, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, and certain other medical conditions or genetic factors. Early detection, lifestyle modifications, and appropriate management are key to slowing the progression of CKD and preventing complications such as kidney failure.
