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.
