EARLY DETECTION AND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE
Abstract
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive condition characterized by a gradual loss of kidney function over time. Early detection of CKD is essential for preventing severe complications such as end-stage renal failure and cardiovascular diseases. This study focuses on identifying early diagnostic markers, including serum creatinine levels, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and urinary albumin excretion. The research also examines effective management strategies such as lifestyle modifications, pharmacological interventions, and regular monitoring to slow disease progression. Implementing early screening programs and raising public awareness can significantly reduce the burden of CKD and improve patients’ quality of life.
