March is National Kidney Month,and as a CKD4 patient,I want to raise awareness about the importance of kidney health.

CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE (CKD) affects millions of people worldwide,and it's a silent killer.Many people dont't even know they have it until it's too late.

So,what causes CKD?

PRIMARY CAUSES
1. DIABETES- high blood sugar levels damage kidneys over time,making diabetes the leading cause if CKD.
2. HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE- uncontrolledhypertension puts extra strain on kidneys,leading to damage.

SECONDARY CAUSES
1. GLOMERULONEPHRITIS-inflamation of kidney filters impairs waste removal.
2.POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE-genetic disorder causing fluid-filled cysts to form,damaging kidneys.
3.PROLONGED OBSTRUCTION OF URINE FLOW- blockages in the urinary tract can cause damages like kidney stones and tumors

OTHER RISK FACTORS
1. Family History of Kidney Disease
2. Obesity
3. Age (risk increases after 60)
4. Smoking
5. Certain Medications
6. Lifestyle

But here's the thing: CKD is often preventable or manageable with lifestyle changes and early detection.

So WHAT YOU CAN DO?

1.Get tested for kidney function if you're at risk.
2.Control your blood pressure and high blood sugar levels.
3.Stay hydrated and eat balanced diet.
4.Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight.
5.Avoid smoking and limit your intake of processed foods.

Let's raise awareness about CKD and take control of our kidney health!
