Chronic kidney disease (CKD) impairs the kidneys' ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, leading to a buildup of toxins and electrolyte imbalances. As the disease progresses, it can affect other organs, such as the heart and bones, by increasing blood pressure, causing cardiovascular disease, and disrupting calcium and phosphate balance. Additionally, CKD can lead to anemia due to decreased erythropoietin production, further impacting overall health. Ultimately, CKD's systemic effects can significantly compromise organ function and overall well-being.
