Medical Conditions - Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a long-lasting decline in kidneys' functioning, usually lasting longer than three months. CKD occurs in five stages, where mild damage is stage 1, and complete failure of kidney functions is seen in stage 5. CKD commonly occurs due to high blood pressure and sugar and can result in anemia, bone disease, and heart problems.
