Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic Kidney Disease

When the kidneys are damaged over time due to disease or conditions such as type 1 or type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure, they lose their ability to carry out important functions, including filtering waste products and extra water from the body, balancing minerals and maintaining blood pressure. This condition, known as Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), also increases the risk of other health problems like heart disease and stroke.
