If you want to know more about chronic kidney disease (CKD), this
introductory booklet is for you. Many people have CKD, but most of
them feel perfectly well and will never develop kidney failure.
However, your kidneys have important jobs in the body. They clean
your blood, regulate the chemical balance of your body and keep
your blood pressure normal. So if there is anything wrong with your
kidneys, your blood pressure may rise. High blood pressure
increases your chances of having a heart attack,heart failure or a
stroke. This is why it is important to look after yourself if the
doctor discovers you have CKD. This booklet tells you how to take
control of your body and protect your circulation. At the end of
the booklet, you will find a 'jargon busting' section to help
explain medical terms. There is also information about finding out
more, either from books or online.
