Did You Know?
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), also known as chronic renal disease, is a condition that
occurs when your kidneys don't work as well as they should to filter waste, toxins and
excess fluid from your body. Kidney disease progresses in stages and may eventually lead
to kidney failure.
The goal of treating CKD is to best manage your health at every stage, which can help
slow progression and keep your kidneys functioning as long as possible. Treatment
options for kidney failure include dialysis or a kidney transplant.
