Persons with CKD have significantly higher rates of morbidity, mortality, hospitalizations, and healthcare utilization. Chronic kidney disease may be caused due to comorbid conditions such as high blood pressure, etc. This can lead to buildup of metabolic wastes in patient’s blood and make them feel sick. Chronic kidney disease complications include high blood pressure, anemia (low blood count), weak bones, poor nutritional health, and nerve damage. Chronic kidney disease also increases the risk of developing heart and blood vessel diseases such as heart attack, stroke, etc. These problems may happen slowly over a long period of time.
