Kidneys
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) includes a group of conditions that damage the kidneys and keep them from filtering
blood. If kidney disease advances, an accumulation of toxins and waste materials in the blood can become
extremely high. Hypertension, malnutrition, anemia, weak bones, and damage to the nerves can occur as a result.
Additionally, kidney disease increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
CKD can be caused by
hypertension, diabetes, and other conditions. To keep CKD from becoming worse, early detection and treatment
is imperative. When CKD progresses, it can cause kidney failure, requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant.
