INTRODUCTION
The concept of Chronic kidney illness is the also known as the chronic kidney failure
which generally involves a gradual failure of the functioning of kidneys and the kidney separate
wastes and an extra liquids from the blood which are generally ooze out through urine. Due to
the chronic kidney illness, it can cause the unsafe level of the liquids, electrolytes and wastes to
build up in blood (Byrne, and Targher, 2020). The 4th stage of the chronic kidney failure means
patient must prepare for the dialysis treatment and or kidney transplant. In this report brief
analysis of the patient medical case is done along with the identification of the risk factors of
CKD, key assessment process of the kidney dysfunction. Then brief study of the CKD symptoms
along with the quantify CKD. Biochemical abnormalities of the CKD is evaluated along with
the metabolic changes which is associated with the CKD. And the recommendation for the
appropriate treatment option is going to analyse.
MAIN BODY
Common diseases of kidney and the associated risk factors.
Chronic kidney illness is the failure of the kidney, which is involving the gradual loss of
the kidney function. In the primal stage of the chronic kidney illness, patient involves the
symptoms which can not be realize at the starting, until the condition is advanced. Chronic
kidney illness usually occurs when a illness or the condition impairs the functioning of kidney,
causing to damage of kidney to worsen conditions over several months or year (Johnson,
Wesseling, and Newman, 2019). Disease as well as the conditions which causes the illness of
chronic kidney generally includes the 2 types of diabetes such as Type 1 or type 2 diabetes, high
blood pressure, recurrent kidney infection also called pyelonephritis etc. the common risk factors
which are linked with this are as follow.
 Diabetes
 Elevated blood pressure
 Heart related disorders
 Smoking
 Obesity.
 The abnormal kidney structure and Family history.
