What is the difference between chronic kidney disease and chronic renal disease?
Chronic kidney disease" (CKD) and "chronic renal disease" are terms that are often used interchangeably and essentially refer to the same medical condition. Both terms describe a long-term, progressive condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their function over time. However, there is a subtle distinction between these terms: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): CKD is the most commonly used and recognized term in medical practice. It is a broad and inclusive term used to describe the condition in which the kidneys are damaged and lose their ability to effectively filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. CKD is a more general term that encompasses various underlying causes and conditions that can lead to kidney damage. It is typically graded into stages based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the degree of kidney function impairment, ranging from stage 1 (mild) to stage 5 (end-stage kidney disease). Chronic Renal Disease: "Renal" specifically refers to the kidneys. Thus, when the term "chronic renal disease" is used, it is slightly more focused and emphasizes the condition's impact on the kidneys themselves. It is used to describe long-term and ongoing kidney damage or dysfunction. While the term "chronic renal disease" is less common in medical literature, it essentially refers to the same concept as CKD. In summary, both "chronic kidney disease" and "chronic renal disease" describe a long-term condition in which the kidneys lose their function over time. The choice of terminology may vary among healthcare professionals, but the underlying condition and its implications remain the same. CKD is the more widely recognized and preferred term in contemporary medical practice for describing this condition.
