What causes Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)? 🫘
CKD can develop for many different reasons—and sometimes more than one factor may be involved.
Some important causes include:
🔸 Diabetes — long-term high blood sugar can damage the kidney’s tiny filters.
🔸 High blood pressure — can gradually damage kidney blood vessels.
🔸 Glomerular diseases — such as IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis and other immune-related diseases.
🔸 Genetic kidney diseases — such as polycystic kidney disease.
🔸 Kidney stones & urinary obstruction — especially when recurrent or untreated.
🔸 Certain medicines — particularly some painkillers and other drugs when used inappropriately or for prolonged periods.
🔸 Repeated acute kidney injury (AKI) — recurrent kidney injury can contribute to chronic damage.
🔸 Other medical conditions — including autoimmune diseases, recurrent infections and certain heart conditions.
💡 Knowing the cause of CKD is important because treatment and monitoring can be tailored to the underlying problem.
Know the risks. Take action. Protect your kidneys. ❤️
