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

Chronic Renal Failure
#kidney transplantation, #chronic renal failure, #kidney, #end-stage renal disease, #hemodialysis, #immunosuppressants
The kidneys are important organs that filter waste products from the body and remove them in the urine. When a chronic disease has damaged the kidneys completely, a new kidney may need to be transplanted to sustain life. Lifelong careful management is needed even after transplantation, so please do not rely on this Health Encyclopedia alone; receive proper management through consultation with a transplant specialist.2026-06-26

When blood sugar remains high over time, diabetes can lead to complications in several organs, including the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and cardiovascular system. Preventing these complications requires blood sugar control along with managing blood pressure and cholesterol/lipid levels, as well as regular complication screening. Please continue treatment consistently with your doctor.2026-06-26
