Chronic Kidney Disease, which is always shorted as CKD, is a medical term used to describe the progressive loss of kidney function over several months or years. CKD in early stage is not deadly and also it causes no obvious discomforts. However, without effective and timely control, it progresses over time. Various health problems will be caused when it develops to advanced stages. For this reason, timely diagnosis and treatment is very essential for Chronic Kidney Disease patients to live a longer and better life.
