Chronic Kidney Disease A disease is an abnormal condition that affects the structure or function of parts an organism. They are also known as medical condition that are associated with specific symptoms and signs. Disease can affect people not only physically, but also mentally, as contracting and living with a disease can alter the affected person’s perspective on live. There are a lot of afflicted disease to emphasized on, but I chose chronic kidney disease. Defining chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the subject of intense debate in the current nephrology literature. The debate concerns the threshold value of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) used to make the diagnosis of CKD. Current recommendations argue that a universal threshold of 60 mL/min/1.73m² should be used. This threshold has been defended by epidemiological studies showing that the risk of mortality or end-stage renal disease increases with an eGFR below 60 mL/min/1.73m². (“AgeCalibrated Definition of Chronic Kidney Disease” 2016) Chronic Kidney Disease are damage made to your kidney which can not filter an amount of blood the way it should. This disease if not paid attention to causes your kidney to completely and will need to put on dialysis or get a kidney transplant to get your life back on track. Chronic kidney disease is a decrease in kidney function for more than 3 months. Kidney clean waste from the blood. The waste then passes out of the body in urine, if they do not work it can cause a number of symptoms (Vann, Camack, 2018) CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE 1 Chronic Kidney Disease Name: Course: Institution: Professor: Date: CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE 2 Kalantar-Zadeh, K., & Fouque, D. (2017). Nutritional management of chronic kidney disease. New England Journal of Medicine, 377(18), 1765-1776. I will use this article to determine how dietary interventions are one way of the conservative management of chronic kidney disease (CKD). I will also use the article review to explain the various aspects of nutritional management of CKD in adults and children (Kalantar-Zadeh and Fouque, 2017).

I will use this article to explain the association of CKD with urine abnormalities, structural abnormalities, and impaired excretory renal function. Besides, I will also use it to determine the risk factors for CKD, related complications, diagnosis, and management of patients with the disease (Romagnani et al., 2017). Webster, A. C., Nagler, E. V., Morton, R. L., & Masson, P. (2017). Chronic kidney disease. The Lancet, 389(10075), 1238-1252. I will use this article to give the definition and classification of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the markers of kidney disease. I will also use the article to explain the leading causes of CKD, rates of incidence and prevalence, and progression of CKD within various social determinants of health (Webster et al., 2017).
