At Shifa Nephrology Associates, we believe that education is a powerful tool in managing Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Understanding your condition is the first step towards effective management and maintaining a high quality of life. Our CKD patient education program is designed to provide you with comprehensive information and support throughout your journey with kidney disease.
Explaining Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Chronic Kidney Disease is a condition characterized by a gradual loss of kidney function over time. The kidneys are essential for filtering wastes and excess fluids from the blood, which are then excreted in the urine. When CKD occurs, this process is compromised, leading to the accumulation of waste products in the body, which can have serious health implications.
