🫘 CKD CAN BE SILENT — DON’T WAIT FOR SYMPTOMS
One of the most important things to understand about Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is that you may feel completely well even while kidney function is gradually changing.
In the early stages, CKD often causes few or no noticeable symptoms.
That’s why testing becomes especially important if you have risk factors such as:
🔹 High blood pressure
🔹 Diabetes
🔹 Family history of kidney disease
🔹 Previous kidney stones or urinary problems
🔹 Long-term use of certain painkillers
🔹 Other conditions that can affect the kidneys
Simple tests such as serum creatinine & eGFR and urine ACR can provide valuable information about kidney health.
⚠️ Symptoms such as swelling, changes in urination, tiredness, nausea or poor appetite are not specific to CKD and may occur particularly when kidney disease is more advanced.
❤️ Feeling well does not always mean your kidneys are completely healthy.
If you are at risk, ask your doctor whether kidney screening is appropriate for you.
Detect early. Understand your kidneys. Protect your health.
