Chronic Kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease refers to disorders that cause damage to your kidneys and reduce their ability to keep you healthy by filtering wastes from your blood. If your kidney condition develops, wastes can accumulate to dangerously high amounts in your blood, making you unwell.

CKD is a disorder in which the kidneys become damaged and are unable to filter blood as effectively as they should. As a result, extra fluid and waste from the circulation linger in the body, potentially leading to various health issues such as heart disease and stroke.

If your kidney condition develops, wastes can accumulate to dangerously high amounts in your blood, making you unwell. You may experience difficulties such as
1. Anaemia due to high blood pressure (low blood count)
2. Brittle bones
3. Nerve damage due to inadequate nutritional health

Diabetes and high blood pressure, or hypertension, are responsible for two-thirds of all chronic renal disease cases.

Diabetes develops when your blood sugar levels remain unusually high for an extended period of time. Over time, uncontrolled blood sugar levels can harm various organs in your body, including your kidneys, heart, blood vessels, nerves, and eyes.

When the pressure of your blood on the walls of your blood vessels rises, you have high blood pressure. Uncontrolled or poorly regulated high blood pressure can be a primary cause of heart attacks, strokes, and chronic kidney illness. High blood pressure can also be caused by chronic renal illness.
