What causes chronic kidney disease?




The common cause of chronic renal disease are :
  • diabetes
  • inflammation of the filters (glomerulonephritis)
  • Infection of the kidney
  • Obstruction of the flow of urine, causing back pressure on the kidney itself
  • inherited abnormalities of the kidney's structure, e.g. polycystic kidney disease
  • very high blood pressure (hypertension)
  • blockage of the blood vessels supplying the kidney
