  ABSTRACT: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is ongoing damage of the kidneys, which affects their ability to filter the blood the way they should. Worldwide CKD is considered as the 16th leading cause of death and affects 8% - 16% of the population. CKD often goes unnoticed and is revealed as an incidental finding. Healthcare providers diagnose the condition as CKD based on persistent abnormal kidney function tests revealing kidney damage markers > 3 months, urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) > or equal to 30 mg/g per 24 hours, and GFR 2. In this article, we have discussed chronic kidney disease in terms of kidney physiology, chronic kidney disease pathophysiology, etiology, diagnosis, signs and symptoms, and management.
