Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a medical condition characterized by the gradual loss of kidney function over time. While there is no cure for CKD, therapy can help to slow the progression of the disease and manage symptoms. The type of therapy that is recommended will depend on the stage of CKD, as well as any other health issues that may be present.
One type of therapy for CKD is medication. Medications can be prescribed to manage high blood pressure, anemia, and high levels of phosphorus and potassium in the blood. They can also be used to treat complications that may arise as a result of CKD, such as bone disease.
