Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) means that your kidneys stop working well enough to keep you healthy. This is a process that usually takes place over a period of months or years. The process cannot be reversed, but with an early diagnosis, the right treatment and some lifestyle changes, it can be slowed down or in some cases even halted. If you have kidney disease, learn everything you can do about it; the correct treatment and changes in your lifestyle can help you stay healthier for longer. Your doctor will also work closely together with you to do everything to stop or at least slow down the progression of the disease by controlling the underlying causes.
