Healthy kidneys work to filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood and flush them from the body in urine. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a gradual, progressive condition in which the kidneys suffer damage over time and lose their ability to perform their proper functions.
Signs and symptoms of chronic kidney disease often develop over time because the damage progresses slowly. Signs and symptoms of kidney disease may include:
Signs and symptoms of kidney disease are often nonspecific, meaning they can also be caused by other illnesses. Because your kidneys are highly adaptable and able to compensate for lost function, signs and symptoms may not appear until irreversible damage has occurred.
