The kidneys eventually lose the ability to filter waste and extra fluid from the circulation due to the stable and progressive condition known as chronic kidney disease. Kidney damage typically takes months or years to develop, and it can result in several consequences.

• Diabetes
• High blood pressure
• Glomerulonephritis
• Kidney polycystic disease
• Obstructed urinary tracts
• Autoimmune disorders
• Certain medicines

• Fatigue
• Swelling
• Changes in urination
• Blood in the urine
• Lack of appetite
• Dry skin
• Difficulty in concentrating
• Breathing difficulty
• Nausea

Age: People above the age of 60 are more likely to have CKD.

Obesity: Diabetes and high blood pressure are risk factors, and being overweight or obese might raise that risk.

Smoking: Smoking can potentially harm blood vessels and raise the danger of high blood pressure.

Cardiovascular disease: A more significant risk exists for those with heart disease or a history of stroke.

Additional medical issues: CKD can be a side effect of other illnesses such as lupus, HIV, and hepatitis B and C.

• High blood pressure
• Anemia
• Bone disease
• A cardiovascular disease
• Fluid accumulation
• Malnutrition
