What is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a disease that arises due to damaged kidneys or due to a continuous reduction in the functioning of the kidneys. Normal working kidneys clean the body of wastes and fluids while also ensuring that there is a proper balance of important minerals in the body.
CKD may arise slowly and may not have any visible symptoms at first. It is thus important to evaluate and monitor the disease.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chronic Kidney Disease is a long-term condition in which the kidneys are damaged or their function is reduced. It may progress gradually and often causes few symptoms in the early stages.
CKD may not always be reversible, but appropriate treatment can help slow its progression, manage complications, and protect remaining kidney function.
People with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, a family history of kidney disease, or other long-term kidney problems may have a higher risk of developing CKD.
You should consult a nephrologist if you have abnormal kidney function tests, persistent protein in the urine, declining eGFR, unexplained swelling, or an existing kidney condition requiring specialist care.
