What is the definitin for chronic kidney disease
My nephew who is 29 has been diagnosed with a chronic kidney disease. I’ve been told that it’s still on an early stage so can be managed effectively. I am worried for his well-being and wish to know everything about this disease to help him get better. Does someone know the definition for chronic kidney disease?
