A member asked:
Can you please list structural and functional changes that occur in chronic kidney disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CKD: The glomeruli of the kidney is the filter of the kidney. If it gets damaged either by infection, autoinmune disease, obstruction, diabetes, high blood pressure, it will be destroyed by scarring and all the impurities that are normally filtered are retained by the body causing fluid retention and damage to other organs.
