Managing CKD and Related Kidney ConditionsDetect, monitor, and manage chronic kidney disease and related kidney conditions
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a silent threat because it does not cause pain in early stages and usually remains unnoticed by the patient. Kidney disease often develops as a secondary complication of other common diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, or autoimmune disease. Alarmingly, the rising prevalence of diabetes worldwide will place even more individuals at risk for developing kidney disease.
CKD is the primary risk factor for end-stage renal disease, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and premature death. It also puts people at increased risk for acute kidney injury. Early screening, detection, and treatment are critical in preventing further progression of the disease.
