Chronic Kidney disease & complications
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to function effectively over months or years. It is commonly caused by diabetes, hypertension, recurrent kidney infections, or glomerulonephritis. In the early stages, CKD may not show noticeable symptoms, but as it progresses, patients may experience fatigue, swelling in the legs, high blood pressure, loss of appetite, and changes in urination. If not managed properly, CKD can lead to serious complications such as anemia, bone disease, electrolyte imbalances, fluid overload, cardiovascular problems, and eventually kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplantation. Early detection, lifestyle changes, medication, and regular monitoring are essential to slow disease progression and reduce the risk of complications.
