什么是慢性肾脏病（CKD）？ 慢性肾脏病（CKD）是一种因肾脏损伤而导致肾功能进行性和不可逆性丧失的综合征。据估计，美国有 37,000 人患有 CKD，全球有超过 8 亿人患有 CKD，尽管大多数人仍未得到诊断 ( 1 )。肾功能根据肾小球滤过率 (GFR) 进行评估，肾小球滤过率衡量肾脏从血液中清除废物并通过尿液排出的效率 ( 2 )。随着肾功能恶化，电解质变得不平衡，血液中的含氮废物增多。如果不及时治疗，这种积聚可能会导致严重的医疗并发症。 CKD 有五个阶段，严重程度从轻度肾损伤到肾衰竭。然而，并非所有肾病患者最终都会出现肾衰竭。继续阅读以了解有关 CKD 的原因、症状和治疗的更多信息，以便您可以减缓肾脏损害的进展并降低肾衰竭的风险。 慢性肾脏病的原因： 患有糖尿病或高血压的人患 CKD 的风险最高。事实上，四分之三的新诊断 CKD 患者至少患有其中一种病症 ( 1 )。 CKD 的其他潜在原因和风险因素包括： 肾小球肾炎（肾脏过滤组件的炎症） 多囊肾病 (PKD) 或其他遗传性肾病 对肾脏的直接而有力的伤害 是非裔美国人、美洲印第安人或西班牙裔 ( 3 )...
