CKD stands for Chronic Kidney Disease. It’s a long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose their function over time. Your kidneys are responsible for filtering waste and excess fluids from your blood, and when they don't work properly, waste can build up and cause serious health problems.
Here are the common symptoms of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)—though keep in mind that in the early stages, CKD might not cause noticeable symptoms at all.
Early Symptoms (often subtle):
Fatigue or weakness
Trouble concentrating
Poor appetite
Sleep problems
Dry, itchy skin
Frequent urination, especially at night
As CKD progresses (more noticeable symptoms):
Swelling in the ankles, feet, or hands (fluid retention)
Foamy or bubbly urine (a sign of protein in urine)
Blood in the urineHigh blood pressure
Muscle cramps, especially at night
Shortness of breath (if fluid builds up in the lungs)
Nausea or vomiting
Metallic taste in mouth or bad breath
Paleness or cold intolerance
Chest pain (in severe cases)

May help with albuminuria (protein in urine)
3. Terebinthina (Turpentine)
