Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Chronic kidney disease affects approximately 1 in 7 adults worldwide — yet most people do not know they have it until significant damage has already occurred. CKD is a progressive condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste, balance fluids, and regulate essential minerals in your body.
Understanding CKD is the first step toward managing it effectively. This resource hub brings together everything you need to know — from what each stage means to the symptoms to watch for, the role of diabetes and other conditions, and how to work with your medical team to slow progression and maintain your quality of life.
