The most recent definition and classification of CKD will be addressed here. Discussions pertaining to the assessment of kidney function, the epidemiology of CKD, screening for CKD, evaluation of patients with CKD, overview of the management of CKD, and the association between CKD and cardiovascular disease are presented elsewhere:

Chronic kidney disease is a disease characterized by progressive damage and loss of function in the kidneys. It's estimated that chronic kidney disease affects about one in seven American adults. And most of those don't know they have it.

What is chronic kidney disease? Chronic kidney disease (CKD and chronic renal disease) means that there’s damage to your kidneys and they aren’t working as well as they should. Your kidneys are like a filter in your body — filtering out wastes, toxins and extra water from your blood.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) means your kidneys are damaged and can’t filter blood the way they should. The disease is called “chronic” because the damage to your kidneys happens slowly over a long period of time.

2023年9月11日 · Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is when the kidneys have become damaged over time (for at least 3 months) and have a hard time doing all their important jobs. CKD also increases the risk of other health problems like heart disease and stroke.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) means your kidneys are damaged and can’t filter blood the way they should. The main risk factors for developing kidney disease are diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and a family history of kidney failure.

2024年5月15日 · CKD is a condition in which the kidneys are damaged and can't filter blood as well as they should. Because of this, excess fluid and waste remain in the body and may cause health problems such as heart disease. Other health problems related to CKD include: Anemia or low number of red blood cells. Increased occurrence of infections.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a type of long-term kidney disease, in which either there is a gradual loss of kidney function which occurs over a period of months to years, or an abnormal kidney structure (with normal function).

What is chronic kidney disease? Chronic kidney disease, sometimes called CKD, is an umbrella term for several conditions that affect the kidneys, but it generally means permanent — and usually progressive — damage to the kidneys caused by a variety of conditions.

2024年5月15日 · Chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes loss of kidney function over time and may lead to kidney failure or end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Costs can be reduced by preventing CKD, preventing CKD from progressing to ESKD, and preventing type 2 diabetes and other chronic conditions that can lead to CKD. More than 1 in 7 US adults may have CKD.
