Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition in which abnormalities in kidney function or structure persist for 3 months or longer. In the early stages there are often no particular symptoms, so the disease may go unnoticed and be discovered only after it has progressed considerably. People who have diabetes or high blood pressure, or who have a family history of kidney disease, need regular testing. If a health checkup reveals a kidney abnormality, please consult a medical specialist to confirm it.2026-06-26

In rare cases, people taking a statin (a medication for hyperlipidemia) can develop immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy, in which muscle weakness continues even after the medication is stopped. If weakness in both thighs or shoulders continues for a week or longer while taking a statin, please be sure to consult a medical specialist.2026-06-26
