chronic kidney disease
Lasting nephropathy condition
Chronic kidney disease is the gradual loss of kidney function over months or years.
The kidneys progressively lose their ability to filter waste from the blood, often due to diabetes, high blood pressure, or other conditions.
Early stages may show no symptoms; advanced disease can require dialysis or transplant.
Often abbreviated CKD.
