Symptoms

• The symptoms of chronic kidney disease can be
  subtle and may not appear until the disease has
  progressed.
• Common symptoms include fatigue, swelling in the
  hands and feet, changes in urine output,
  difficulty sleeping, and itching.
• As the disease progresses, symptoms may worsen
  and include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite,
  and difficulty concentrating.

Causes

• Chronic kidney disease can be caused by a variety
  of factors, including diabetes, high blood
  pressure, and glomerulonephritis.
• Other causes include polycystic kidney disease,
  kidney stones, and chronic urinary tract
  infections.
• Lifestyle factors such as smoking, obesity, and a
  high-salt diet can also increase the risk of
  developing chronic kidney disease.

Complications

• Chronic kidney disease can lead to a number of
  complications, including high blood pressure,
  anemia, bone disease, and cardiovascular disease.
• In some cases, the disease may progress to
  end-stage renal disease, requiring dialysis or a
  kidney transplant.
• Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent
  complications and slow the progression of the
  disease.

Prevention and Treatment

• Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking,
  maintaining a healthy weight, and reducing salt
  intake can help prevent chronic kidney disease.

  blood pressure and blood sugar levels, as well as
  dietary changes and lifestyle modifications.
