Chronic Kidney Disease- This is the most common type of kidney disease. When the kidneys stop functioning for a longer period like 3 months or more it is called chronic kidney disease. This is generally caused due to high blood pressure in the body. Maintaining blood pressure levels in the body is very important as increased blood pressure damages glomeruli in the kidneys which leads to kidney failure. The tiny blood vessels that clean blood in the kidneys are called glomeruli. Chronic kidney disease can also be caused due to diabetes. High sugar levels cause severe damage to blood vessels in the kidneys. Once the condition is diagnosed the patient is advised to undergo dialysis. Dialysis is a process that helps in extracting extra waste and fluids from the blood. This process can help kidneys to perform better but it cannot cure the disease.
