Kidneys are two vital organs that play major roles in the body. They are responsible for the removal of waste products and excess fluid from the blood as urine. The kidneys also produce and regulate hormones, which control blood pressure and stimulate the production of red blood cells. Some people can have kidney disease and not be aware of it because the early signs can be very subtle until the disease is advanced.
Kidney disease can take many years to go from chronic kidney disease (CKD) to kidney failure. As the disease progresses the symptoms become more obvious and the patient begin to notice significant discomforts when urinating; if able at all urine may come very dark or bloody. Although some people with chronic kidney disease live throughout their lives without ever reaching kidney failure. Chronic kidney disease is a process during which kidney tissue is destroyed over a long period of time.
