Chronic kidney disease (CKD), also known as chronic renal disease, is a progressive loss in renal function over a period of months or years. The symptoms of worsening kidney function are non-specific, and might include feeling generally unwell and experiencing a reduced appetite. Please see HERE for a patient guide to kidney disease.
To help patients with kidney disease learn more about their illness, Beaumont Kidney Center in conjunction with the Irish Kidney Association have published a series of which deal with all aspects of kidney disease. You can find these helpful guides HERE
