Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive reduction in the kidneys’ ability to filter blood. People with CKD have greatly increased mortality risk in comparison to the non-CKD population, with cardiovascular disease being the cause of death in almost half of all cases. Dr. Mohsen Chabok at Life Line Screening/ Imperial College explains how CKD impacts on patients’ quality of life and why it is not known whether a pathological process underlies CKD or if it is simply part of aging.
