Chronic kidney disease stages: understanding kidney function loss
The main causes of CKD in India include diabetes, high blood pressure, and lifestyle factors like poor diet, inactivity, and smoking. Family history also increases the risk.
Stage 3 kidney disease cannot be cured, but it can be managed. Treatment includes a balanced diet, medications for blood pressure, and lifestyle changes to prevent further kidney damage.
Chronic kidney disease affects approximately 10-17% of the Indian population, with higher cases in urban areas due to lifestyle factors and health conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
