What is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) refers to a long-term condition characterized by abnormalities in the structure or function of the kidneys lasting for at least 3 months.

How is CKD classified?

CKD is classified based on two key factors:

  1. Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): Measures how well the kidneys filter waste.
  2. Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (uACR): Indicates the amount of protein leaking into urine.

What is End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)?

End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) represents the most severe stage of CKD, defined by a GFR below 15 mL/min/1.73 m² or requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant.

What influences CKD prognosis?

The prognosis of CKD depends on various factors, including the underlying cause of the kidney disease, GFR at diagnosis, and the level of protein in the urine (albuminuria).

What is a common complication of CKD?

Anemia is a common complication of CKD, where the body does not produce enough red blood cells.

What is the cause of anemia in CKD?

Anemia in CKD is usually caused by a decrease in erythropoietin, a hormone produced by the kidneys that stimulates red blood cell production.

Study Notes

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Questions and Answers

  • Definition of CKD: Abnormalities in kidney structure or function lasting 3 months or longer. It is not a type of cancer, nor is it temporary kidney dysfunction.
