Your kidneys are vital organs that filter waste from the blood and produce hormones. Left untreated, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), a form of kidney failure, allows toxins to build up in the body and can lead to other health problems, like heart disease and stroke. It also can progress to end-stage renal disease, which requires dialysis treatment or a kidney transplant to live.
