Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term condition where the kidneys lose function over time. Common causes include diabetes, hypertension, and glomerulonephritis. Symptoms may include fatigue, leg swelling, and changes in urination. Early detection and management help to slow progression and prevent complications. CKD typically requires ongoing medical care.
