Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
is the progressive loss of
kidney function over time.

More than 1 in 7 adults in the U.S. may have chronic kidney disease (CKD)—and most people don’t know they have it. CKD is a condition in which the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter blood as well as they should. Because of this, excess fluid and waste from blood remain in the body and may cause other health problems, such as heart disease and stroke.

It’s important to LEARN the signs, TEST when
appropriate, and DETECT the disease EARLY.
