chronic kidney disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a chronic condition in which the kidneys are damaged and do not function properly. In this type of disease, the kidneys are not able to filter the blood properly. It is a common illness that can affect anyone. But it is more common in people of black or South Asian descent. CKD can be caused by a gradual decline in kidney function over time or by abnormal kidney structure.
The most common causes of CKD are diabetes and high blood pressure. Other risk factors include a family history of heart disease and kidney failure. There is no cure for CKD. But treatment can help reduce symptoms and prevent the condition from getting worse. Control high blood pressure, control blood sugar, reduce cholesterol, change your lifestyle. It’s like eating a healthy diet, being active and drinking alcohol in limited quantities.
