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

Kidney Transplantation

Kidney transplantation is a surgery that transplants a healthy kidney into a patient with end-stage kidney failure, whose kidneys can no longer function properly. If the transplanted kidney functions normally, the patient may be freed from dialysis (a treatment that filters waste products from the blood using a machine), which can greatly improve quality of life. Ongoing care after surgery is very important, and please be sure to consult a medical specialist about anything related to transplantation.2026-06-26
