Kidney disease refers to conditions that impair kidney function, preventing the organs from effectively filtering waste and excess fluids. It can range from acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease, often caused by diabetes, high blood pressure, or infections. Early detection and management are key to slowing progression.
Causes of Kidney Disease:
- Diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2)
- High blood pressure (Hypertension)
- Chronic glomerulonephritis
- Polycystic kidney disease
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

- Autoimmune diseases (e.g., lupus)
