Experts Highlight Diabetes and Hypertension as Leading Causes of Silent Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing health concern in India, often developing silently without early symptoms. Diabetes and high blood pressure are the leading causes, with diabetes-related kidney damage resulting from prolonged high blood sugar levels. Early-onset hypertension also increases CKD risk. Experts emphasize the importance of regular screening, especially for those with diabetes or hypertension, to enable early detection and management, potentially preventing disease progression.
