    GlossaryChronic Kidney Disease (Chronic Renal Failure)

    long-term condition where kidneys gradually lose filtering ability

    Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood effectively. This progressive decline in kidney function can lead to a buildup of harmful substances in the body, potentially resulting in complications like high blood pressure, anemia, and cardiovascular disease. Early detection and management are crucial to slow the progression and maintain quality of life.
