What Is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?
Chronic Kidney Disease occurs when the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the blood. CKD typically progresses in stages, with symptoms becoming more pronounced as the condition worsens. Early detection and timely treatment are essential to slow the disease’s progression and improve the quality of life.
Common Causes of Chronic Kidney Disease

High blood sugar levels can damage kidney tissues over time, leading to CKD.Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
Chronic high blood pressure places strain on blood vessels in the kidneys, impairing their function.Glomerulonephritis
Inflammation of the kidney’s filtering units (glomeruli) is a common cause of CKD.Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
A genetic disorder that leads to the formation of cysts in the kidneys.Long-Term Use of Certain Medications
Prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other medications can contribute to CKD.Family History of Kidney Disease
A genetic predisposition may increase the risk of developing CKD.
