Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease is a slow and progressive decline in renal function. The kidneys can no longer excrete the waste and regulate the metabolism. Diseases of type I and II diabetes and hypertension can be the common cause of chronic kidney disease, and also the complications may increase the severity of the condition. Thus, following the instructions of physicians or dietitians and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the way to reduce the risk of having chronic kidney disease in people with diabetes or hypertension.
