Summary Kidney disease occurs when the kidneys become damaged and cannot filter waste from the blood effectively. Common causes include diabetes, high blood pressure, infections, kidney stones, genetic conditions, and unhealthy lifestyle habits. Early symptoms may include swelling, fatigue, changes in urination, and high blood pressure. Treatment focuses on controlling the underlying cause, eating a healthy diet, staying active, taking prescribed medications, and getting regular checkups. In advanced cases, dialysis or a kidney transplant may be needed. Early diagnosis and healthy lifestyle choices are key to preventing kidney disease and protecting kidney health.
