A comprehensive guide to chronic kidney disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition where the kidneys lose their ability to function effectively over time. The kidneys are vital organs responsible for filtering waste products from the blood, balancing electrolytes, and managing blood pressure. CKD can lead to severe health issues if not managed properly, making it essential for affected individuals to understand the condition and its implications. Established consultant Dr Rhys Evans provides a guide to the condition, including causes, diagnosis and measures which can be taken to prevent the disease.
