📋Overview
Chronic Kidney Disease involves a long-term decline in the ability of the kidneys to filter metabolic waste and maintain essential fluid and electrolyte balances. This condition encompasses various causes of permanent renal impairment that prevent the organs from functioning at full capacity.
The clinical course of this condition is typically slow and characterized by structural or functional damage to the kidneys. Over time, this loss of function can lead to the accumulation of fluids and waste products within the body.
