PACE Hospitals
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term (chronic) condition that affects the kidneys. In CKD, the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter blood. This can lead to a buildup of waste products and fluids in the body, which can cause a variety of health problems. The most common causes of CKD are diabetes and high blood pressure. CKD is often asymptomatic in the early stages. The goal of treatment is to slow the progression of the disease and maintain a good quality of life. With proper care, many people with CKD can live long and healthy lives.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) develops when the kidneys progressively lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the bloodstream. Common causes include diabetes, high blood pressure, and genetic factors. Symptoms may not appear early, but as the disease progresses, individuals may experience fatigue, swelling, frequent urination, and shortness of breath. Early detection is key to slowing the progression of CKD, with treatment options ranging from lifestyle changes and medications to dialysis or
kidney transplant in advanced stages. Proper management can help improve quality of life and prevent complications.
