What Is Kidney Disease?
Also known as renal disease, kidney disease occurs when your kidneys are damaged and can’t function properly. It can be caused by:
-
High blood pressure
-
Diabetes
-
Infections
-
Autoimmune diseases
-
Genetic factors
Over time, the condition can worsen and lead to kidney failure, requiring dialysis or even a kidney transplant. Early detection and treatment are key to slowing its progression.
