Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose function over time. Often caused by diabetes or high blood pressure, CKD can progress silently, showing symptoms only in later stages. Early detection through regular screening and management with lifestyle changes, medication, and dietary modifications can slow progression. Advanced stages may require dialysis or transplantation. Ongoing research aims to develop better diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
