What is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term kidney disease where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter blood effectively. Unlike acute kidney injury (AKI), CKD is progressive and may eventually lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) if untreated.

Other terms include:

• Chronic renal disease
• Chronic renal insufficiency
• Chronic nephropathy
• Progressive kidney disease

CKD can affect people of all ages, but it is more common in adults with diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney disease.

Symptoms

In the early stages, CKD may not cause noticeable symptoms. As the disease progresses, patients may experience:

• Fatigue and weakness
• Swelling in legs, ankles, or around eyes (fluid retention)
• Proteinuria (protein in urine)
• Hematuria (blood in urine)
• Persistent itching or dry skin
• Loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting
• Sleep disturbances
• Shortness of breath (due to fluid buildup)
• Muscle cramps and bone pain
• Poor concentration or confusion

Conditions

CKD is often associated with or caused by other medical conditions, including:

• Diabetic nephropathy – kidney damage from diabetes
• Hypertensive nephropathy – long-standing high blood pressure damaging kidneys
• Polycystic kidney disease
• Recurrent urinary tract infections or kidney infections
• Autoimmune diseases like lupus nephritis
• Glomerulonephritis (inflammation of kidney filters)

Causes of Chronic Kidney Disease

The most common causes of CKD include:

• Diabetes – leading cause of CKD worldwide
• High blood pressure (hypertension) – damages kidney blood vessels
• Genetic conditions such as polycystic kidney disease
• Prolonged use of certain medications (painkillers, NSAIDs)
• Chronic urinary tract obstruction (stones, prostate enlargement)
• Repeated kidney infections
• Family history of chronic renal disease

Diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease

At Curis Life in Andheri West, our nephrologists use a combination of tests to diagnose and monitor CKD:

• Blood tests: Creatinine levels, estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
• Urine tests: Checking for proteinuria or hematuria
• Imaging scans: Ultrasound or CT to assess kidney size and structure
• Kidney biopsy: To identify specific causes of chronic nephropathy
• Regular monitoring for CKD progression and complications like anemia or bone disease

Stages of CKD

CKD is classified into 5 stages based on GFR levels:

• Stage 1: Normal GFR but signs of kidney damage
• Stage 2: Mild reduction in GFR (60–89 mL/min)
• Stage 3: Moderate decline in kidney function (30–59 mL/min)
• Stage 4: Severe reduction in GFR (15–29 mL/min)
• Stage 5 (ESRD): Kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplant

Treatment and Management of CKD

While CKD cannot always be cured, timely treatment slows progression and improves quality of life. At Curis Life, our nephrology care for CKD includes:

• Blood pressure and diabetes control to reduce further damage
• Medications to manage anemia, bone disease, and electrolyte balance
• Lifestyle and diet for CKD: low-salt diet, protein management, hydration guidance
• Regular monitoring of kidney function decline
• Treatment for complications such as uremia
• Planning for dialysis or kidney transplant in advanced stages
