CKD is typically caused by illnesses such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, kidney infections, renal inflammation, recurring kidney stones, an enlarged prostate, and long-term, regular use of certain medications such as lithium and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) cannot always be avoided, but it can be reduced by controlling underlying illnesses such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

Taking too many painkillers (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines) or taking them longer than recommended can lead to chronic renal disease.

Tobacco use increases your risk of cardiovascular disease, such as heart attacks or strokes, which has been related to an elevated risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Disease/Condition Glossary

Chronic kidney disease: Chronic kidney disease, also known as chronic kidney failure, is a long-term kidney condition that results in renal failure. Kidneys remove waste and extra fluid from the blood. Renal disease is characterised by a steady decline of kidney function over time. As a result, waste can accumulate to dangerously high levels in the blood, potentially making you sick. Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, sleep problems, and swelling of the feet and ankles are the symptoms of renal failure. Treatment focuses mostly on stopping the progression of kidney disease by addressing the underlying cause.
