Uncontrolled hypertension strains the kidneys.

Repeated infections or urinary tract obstructions can contribute to CKD.

Certain medications, especially NSAIDs, can cause kidney damage.

• Genetic Disorders:

Rare genetic disorders can directly impact the kidneys.

• Urinary Tract Abnormalities:

Structural issues in the urinary tract increase the risk of kidney damage.

• Other Factors:

Smoking, obesity, older age, family history, and toxin exposure can contribute to CKD.

• Changes in urine frequency and volume
• Blood in urine
