What are Acute Kidney Disease (AKD) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?

The kidneys are vital organs responsible for filtering waste products from the blood, regulating blood pressure, and producing hormones. However, their function can decline due to various factors.

What are AKD & CKD?

Acute Kidney Disease (AKD)

This refers to a sudden and rapid decline in kidney function, typically occurring within hours or days. It can be caused by factors like severe dehydration, infections, or medication side effects. AKD is often reversible with prompt medical intervention.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

This is a gradual loss of kidney function that develops over months or years. There's no cure for CKD, but treatment can help manage symptoms and slow its progression. Common causes include diabetes, high blood pressure, and polycystic kidney disease (PKD).


Causes of AKD and CKD

There are distinct causes for each type of kidney disease:

Acute Kidney Disease (AKD):

  • Dehydration: Severe dehydration can deprive your kidneys of the fluids they need to function properly.
  • Severe Infection: Systemic infections can overwhelm the kidneys, leading to AKD.
  • Blood Clot: Blockages in the arteries or veins supplying the kidneys can cause AKD.
  • Certain Medications: Some medications can be toxic to the kidneys, especially when taken in high doses or for extended periods.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD):

  • Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can damage the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys.
  • High Blood Pressure: Uncontrolled hypertension can put a strain on the kidneys over time.
  • Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD): This genetic disorder causes cysts to grow in the kidneys, gradually destroying healthy tissue.
  • Autoimmune Diseases: Certain autoimmune diseases, like lupus, can attack the kidneys.
