Risk Factors
Advanced chronic kidney disease where kidneys can no longer maintain essential functions, often leading to evaluation for dialysis or transplantation.
Long-standing diabetes can damage kidney filters over time and is a leading cause of kidney failure requiring transplant assessment.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure strains kidney vessels and accelerates progression toward end-stage kidney disease.
Conditions that inflame or scar the kidney’s filtering units may progress to irreversible loss of kidney function.
An inherited disorder where cysts enlarge and replace healthy kidney tissue, eventually impairing function.
