A slow and progressive decline in kidney function, developing over several years. It is often silent at first and discovered through blood or urine tests. Without management, it can progress to end-stage kidney failure, then requiring dialysis or a transplant. Its main causes are diabetes, high blood pressure and certain inherited diseases.
