Overview

Each of your two kidneys is roughly the size of a fist. Their primary function is to filter your blood. They remove waste and excess water, which becomes urine. They also aid in blood pressure regulation, hormone production, maintaining strong bones, and chemical homeostasis. If you have chronic kidney disease (CKD), your kidneys are impaired and unable to filter blood as effectively as they should. This injury might cause waste to accumulate in your body. It can also lead to other issues that are detrimental to your health.

 Kidney illness is quiet at first. Often, symptoms don't show up until the kidneys are seriously injured. Many patients wait until their renal disease is advanced before experiencing any symptoms. The only method to determine that you have kidney disease is through blood and urine testing.

Causes

There is often more than one cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Rather, a multitude of physical, environmental, and social elements contribute to it. As chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently starts without any obvious signs, early identification is crucial. Understanding the risk variables can help you determine your level of risk and whether a CKD checkup is necessary.
