One of
the defining features of CKD is progressive loss kidney function over
time. It affects millions of people worldwide and places a great burden
on healthcare systems, hence it is a major public health problem. For
better outcomes and quality of life for the CKD patients, there is a
need to understand whatever factors lead them into such conditions as
wells risks associated with these disorders accompanying its symptoms
diagnosis and subsequently treatment modalities.
Many
underlying diseases, like diabetes, hypertension, glomerulonephritis
polycystic kidney disease and specific autoimmune disorders may give
rise to CKD. These conditions cause damage to the filtering units in
kidneys, so they are unable to eliminate waste products and extra fluid
from body. As CKD progresses, the kidneys lose their capacity to remove
metabolic waste products and adjust fluid volume in bloodstream.
In the
early stages of CKD , there might seem no apparent symptoms due to
kidneys compensating or decreased function. Nevertheless , as the
condition continues to advance several marked symptoms are likely to
manifest among which include; fatiguelessness, weakness, and imbeansed
focus difficultly leg or ankle swelling edema happens persistently
itchiness lacks of appetite nausea vomiting muscle cramps changes
statement behavior regarding urination.
Diagnostics of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are usually defined by means of a physical examination, blood testing, imaging scans and records on patients’ medical histories. Blood tests measure the creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) to assess kidney function. However, tests from the urine can also be done to determine if there is blood or protein in it because these may serve as indications of kidney diseases. The imaging tests, like CT MRI and ultrasound can be done to detect the size of kidney shape in order to find out any deformities.
The
objectives of CKD management include, control symptoms related to it ,
stop the complications from coming and reduce its course. Changes in
one’s lifestyle including dietary changes, avoiding alcohol and
consuming a low-sodium protein.
Kidney
Injury is short-term and acute outage of function in the kidneys
primarily when it’s induced by various factors like dehydration, serious
infection or physical contact. It evokes patience as immediate and
urgent medical intervention. The Chronic Kidney Disease is progressive
disease in nature as the process of losing kidneys functions gradually,
over a period time. It is a major public health issue globally affecting
millions of people and putting strain on the healthcare systems .
Knowledge about the causes , risk factors, symptoms diagnostic and
management approaches for CKD is essential to better outcomes and
quality of life of this patients.
