Overview
Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste products and excess fluids from the blood. Early stages may have few symptoms, but advanced disease can lead to complications such as anemia, high blood pressure, bone disease, electrolyte imbalances, kidney failure, and cardiovascular disease.
Peripheral Artery Disease
Peripheral Artery Disease is a circulatory disorder in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs.
