Understanding Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Chronic Kidney Disease is a progressive loss of kidney function over time. Early detection and management can slow progression and prevent complications.

CKD Staging Based on eGFR:

• Stage 1: eGFR ≥ 90 — Normal kidney function with evidence of kidney damage
• Stage 2: eGFR 60-89 — Mildly reduced function
• Stage 3a: eGFR 45-59 — Mild to moderate reduction
• Stage 3b: eGFR 30-44 — Moderate to severe reduction
• Stage 4: eGFR 15-29 — Severe reduction
• Stage 5: eGFR < 15 — Kidney failure / ESRD

Risk Factors for CKD:

• Diabetes: Leading cause of CKD
• Hypertension: Second leading cause
• Age: Risk increases with age
• Family History: Genetic predisposition
• Obesity: Increases risk
• Smoking: Damages blood vessels
• NSAID Use: Long-term use can damage kidneys

Tips for Kidney Health:

• Control blood sugar if diabetic
• Manage blood pressure (target < 130/80)
• Drink adequate water (1.5-2L daily)
• Eat a balanced diet (low salt, moderate protein)
• Avoid NSAIDs like ibuprofen
• Quit smoking
• Get regular kidney function checkups
