Managing conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, avoiding excessive use of painkillers, and regular check-ups can help prevent kidney disease.
What is chronic kidney disease (CKD)?
CKD is a long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, leading to a buildup of waste in the body.

Treatment options include medication, dietary changes, managing underlying conditions like hypertension, and in advanced cases, dialysis or kidney transplantation.
