This progressive condition leads to waste buildup in the body. It can cause health issues like high blood pressure and anemia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What are the primary causes of Chronic Kidney Disease?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Diabetes and high blood pressure are the main causes of CKD. Other risk factors include family history and age over 60.<\/p>\n<p>Certain ethnic backgrounds, obesity, and smoking also increase the risk. Long-term use of specific medications can contribute too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What are the early signs of Chronic Kidney Disease?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Early CKD often has no noticeable symptoms. As it progresses, you might feel tired and have poor appetite.<\/p>\n<p>Other signs include trouble sleeping, dry and itchy skin, and muscle cramps. Swollen feet and frequent nighttime urination may also occur.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>How is Chronic Kidney Disease diagnosed?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Diagnosis involves urine and blood tests. These measure protein and <b>creatinine levels<\/b> to calculate kidney function.<\/p>\n<p>Doctors use these results to determine your <b>glomerular filtration rate<\/b> (GFR). Additional tests may include ultrasound or CT scans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What are the stages of Chronic Kidney Disease?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>CKD has five stages based on glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Stage 1 has normal GFR with kidney damage.<\/p>\n<p>Stage 5, or kidney failure, has a GFR less than 15. This stage typically requires dialysis or <b>kidney transplant<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Can Chronic Kidney Disease be prevented or managed?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>While not always preventable, you can manage CKD through lifestyle changes. Maintain a healthy diet and limit sodium intake.<\/p>\n<p>Control diabetes and hypertension. Exercise regularly and work closely with your healthcare team for best results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>What treatment options are available for advanced Chronic Kidney Disease?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Advanced CKD treatments include dialysis and kidney transplantation. Dialysis comes in two forms: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.<\/p>\n<p>Your doctor will recommend the best treatment based on your condition and overall health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Who is at highest risk for Chronic Kidney Disease?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>People with diabetes and uncontrolled high blood pressure face the highest risk. Those over 60 are also more susceptible.<\/p>\n<p>Certain ethnic groups have increased risk. These include Black Americans, Asians, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, and American Indians.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<h2>Links de origem<\/h2>\n<ol data-type=\"sources\">\n<li>PDF \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidney.org\/sites\/default\/files\/11-50-0160_patientguideCKD.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.kidney.org\/sites\/default\/files\/11-50-0160_patientguideCKD.pdf<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Patient education: Chronic kidney disease (Beyond the Basics) &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uptodate.com\/contents\/chronic-kidney-disease-beyond-the-basics\/print\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.uptodate.com\/contents\/chronic-kidney-disease-beyond-the-basics\/print<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Chronic kidney disease &#8211; Symptoms and causes &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/chronic-kidney-disease\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20354521\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/chronic-kidney-disease\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20354521<\/a><\/li>\n<li>What Is Chronic Kidney Disease? &#8211; NIDDK &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/health-information\/kidney-disease\/chronic-kidney-disease-ckd\/what-is-chronic-kidney-disease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/health-information\/kidney-disease\/chronic-kidney-disease-ckd\/what-is-chronic-kidney-disease<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Risk factors for chronic kidney disease: an update &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC4089662\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC4089662\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Chronic kidney disease &#8211; Diagnosis &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/kidney-disease\/diagnosis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/kidney-disease\/diagnosis\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Chronic Kidney Disease Tests &amp; Diagnosis &#8211; NIDDK &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/health-information\/kidney-disease\/chronic-kidney-disease-ckd\/tests-diagnosis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/health-information\/kidney-disease\/chronic-kidney-disease-ckd\/tests-diagnosis<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Chronic kidney disease &#8211; Living with &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/kidney-disease\/living-with\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/kidney-disease\/living-with\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Just diagnosed with kidney disease &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidneyfund.org\/living-kidney-disease\/just-diagnosed-kidney-disease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.kidneyfund.org\/living-kidney-disease\/just-diagnosed-kidney-disease<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn about Chronic Kidney Disease symptoms, causes, and management options to take control of your kidney health.
