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.
Transient Ischemic Attack
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a temporary interruption of blood flow to the brain that causes stroke-like symptoms but does not result in permanent damage.

Diagnosis

Chronic Kidney Disease
Diagnosis may include blood tests, serum creatinine, eGFR calculation, urine tests, kidney ultrasound, and evaluation of underlying diseases.
Transient Ischemic Attack
Diagnosis includes neurological evaluation, imaging studies, blood tests, and cardiovascular assessment.

Prevention

Chronic Kidney Disease
Control diabetes and blood pressure, avoid smoking, maintain a healthy weight, stay hydrated, avoid unnecessary painkillers, and undergo regular kidney health screening.
Transient Ischemic Attack
Early treatment of cardiovascular risk factors and healthy lifestyle habits can prevent future TIAs and strokes.

Risk Factors

Chronic Kidney Disease
Risk factors include diabetes, hypertension, obesity, smoking, family history of kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and advanced age.
Transient Ischemic Attack
High blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, heart disease, and high cholesterol increase risk.
