Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Chronic kidney disease is the permanent loss of kidney function. It may be caused by physical injury or a disease that damages the kidneys, such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Early stages do not have any noticeable symptoms, and as it progresses, it can lead to kidney failure and require dialysis or kidney transplant to maintain life.
