Chronic kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease indicates a gradual loss of kidney function. The primary function of kidneys is to filter wastes and excess fluids from the blood. When chronic kidney disease reaches an advanced stage, dangerous levels of fluid, electrolytes and wastes can build up in your body.
In the early stages of CKD, very few symptoms manifest themselves. Chronic kidney disease may not become apparent until your kidney function is significantly impaired.
Treatment for CKD focuses on slowing the progression of the kidney damage, by keeping the underlying cause in control. CKD can progress to end-stage kidney failure, which can be fatal without a kidney transplant or dialysis
Causes of CKD

·        Diabetes
·        High blood pressure (hypertension)
·        Having a family member with kidney disease

Stages of Chronic kidney disease

There are five stages of CKD
This stage depends on the function of the kidney and how it filters waste and extra fluid out of the blood.
Chronic kidney disease is measured in GFR(Glomerular filtration rate) specifically, it tells the quantity blood passes through the glomeruli each minute. Glomeruli in kidney filter waste from the blood.
