With chronic kidney disease, the kidneys gradually lose their ability to function over time. It is a serious condition that affects approximately 30 million adults in the U.S.

Understanding chronic kidney disease

The kidneys are responsible for filtering waste and excess fluids from the blood by secreting them into your urine. When your kidneys are unable to complete this task, electrolytes and waste can build up in the body.

Chronic kidney disease, also known as CKD, often has no signs when it’s in the earliest stages. As such, the condition may not be diagnosed until it is advanced and kidney function has declined significantly.

What causes CKD?

CKD develops when another disease or condition negatively impacts the kidneys. This often occurs with the following diagnoses:

  • Type 1 and type 2 diabetes
  • Enlarged prostate
  • High blood pressure
  • Kidney stones
  • Glomerulonephritis
  • Certain cancers
  • Interstitial nephritis
  • Vesicoureteral reflux
  • Polycystic kidney disease
  • Recurrent kidney infection
