Chronic kidney disease (CKD):

CKD leads to A progressive loss of glomerular function. It is present when the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. This should be present for three consecutive months or greater. It may require dialysis.

  • Regulation of blood pressure
  • Regulates body fluid volume
  • Production of rbc

Risk Factors for CKD-

  • Older age
  • More in males
  • Presence of systemic hypertension, obesity, smoking proteinuria, dyslipidemia, etc

Classification-

  • stage 1: normal or elevated GFR
  • 2: mild reduction in GFR
  • 3: moderate reduction in GFR
  • 4: severe reduction in GFR
  • 5: dialysis/ end-stage kidney disease
