Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease describes the gradual loss of kidney function. Signs and symptoms of kidney disease are often nonspecific, meaning they can also be caused by other illnesses. Because your kidneys are highly adaptable and able to compensate for lost function, signs and symptoms may not appear until irreversible damage has occurred. Chronic kidney disease can progress to end-stage kidney failure, which is fatal without artificial filtering (dialysis) or a kidney transplant.

Diabetic Kidney Disorder

Diabetic Kidney Disorder

Diabetic kidney disease is a serious kidney-related complication of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. About 25% of people with diabetes eventually develop kidney disease. Diabetic kidney disease may progress to kidney failure, also called end-stage kidney disease. Kidney failure is a life-threatening condition. At this stage your treatment options are dialysis or a kidney transplant.

Treatments include medications to correct water, salts and acid levels and to prevent complications like kidney stones, as well as specialized diets.
