CHRONIC KIDNEY
DISEASE: CAUSES AND
RISK FACTORS
What is CKD or Chronic Kidney Disease?
CKD or Chronic Kidney Disease is the irreversible and progressive destruction of Kidneys. The kidneys are
essential parts of the body. It has several crucial functions, which include:
• Helping maintain a healthy balance of electrolytes and minerals in the body, like sodium, potassium and
calcium
• They play a crucial role in the production of the red blood cells
• It helps maintain the delicate pH balance of blood
• It helps excrete water-soluble wastage from the body
Damaged kidneys lose its ability to properly perform these functions. One must see a Urologist in Delhi as soon as possible
in cases of CKD. A urologist is a specialist doctor who diagnoses and treats disease and conditions related to the urinary
system and the male reproductive organs. They also perform surgeries such as kidney transplant and laser prostate surgery
Delhi.
Causes :
The most common causes of Chronic Kidney Disease include diabetes and high blood pressure.
Each of our kidney contains nearly 1 million nephrons (tiny filtering units). Any kind of disease that damages
these nephrons could cause kidney disease. High blood pressure and diabetes are known to damage the
nephrons.
High blood pressure is also known to damage the blood vessels of the kidneys, brain, and heart. The kidneys are
densely vascularized, which mean that they contain a lot of blood vessels. So, any disease that damages the
blood vessels are dangerous to the kidneys.
Autoimmune diseases including Lupus can damage the blood vessels and make antibodies against the kidney
tissues.
There are many other probable causes of Chronic Kidney Disease. For example, a hereditary cause of CKD
includes polycystic kidney disease. Lupus can cause Glomerulonephritis. It can also occur post-streptococcal
infection.
Risk Factors:
The risk of Chronic Kidney Disease increases after the age of 65 years. CKD also generally runs in the family. It is
more likely to appear in Native Americans, Asian-Americans, and African-Americans. Here are some other
factors that can cause CKD:
 Obesity
 Autoimmune disease
 Cigarette smoking
 High cholesterol
 Obstructive kidney disease, like bladder obstruction that is caused by BPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia
 Diabetes, both type 1 and 2
 Liver failure and Cirrhosis
 Vasculitis
 Kidney infection
 Kidney stones
 Kidney cancer
 Vesicoureteral reflux, that appears when the urine flows back into the kidneys
 Atherosclerosis
 Atherosclerosis
 Narrowing of arteries that supply blood to the kidneys
 Bladder cancer
 Sclerodoma
 Systemic lupus erythematosus
Symptoms:
CKD doesn’t generally show any symptoms until your kidneys are mostly destroyed. In later stages dialysis or
kidney transplant Delhi may be required. Here are some of the symptoms of CKD:
 Fatigue
 Nausea
 Shortness of breath
 Swelling around the eyes, known as periorbital edema
 A urine-like odor in the breath
 Swelling of the legs, known as pedal edema
 Bone pain
 Drowsiness
 Vomiting, especially after eating and in the morning
 Abnormally light or dark skin
 Mental cloudiness
 Restless leg syndrome
 Itching
 Weight loss
 Brittle nails and hair
 Numbness in the feet and hands
 Loss of muscle mass
 Blood in your stool
 Excessive thirst
 Insomnia
 Hiccups
 Sleep apnea
 Muscle cramps and twitching
 Impotence
One may also notice symptoms of other diseases which are contributing to the kidney problems.
