kidney disease
Failing filtration organs
Kidney disease refers to conditions in which the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood effectively.
It ranges from mild dysfunction to complete kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplant.
Chronic kidney disease develops gradually over years, often from diabetes or high blood pressure, while acute kidney injury occurs suddenly.
Early kidney disease often has no symptoms, so regular screening is important for those at risk.
