With each heartbeat, blood flows through the kidneys. Each kidney contains up to a million filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron is made up of tiny capillary loops called a glomerulus. Millions of glomeruli (plural of glomerulus) filter urea, other waste and excess water from the blood.
You might hear it called CKD. Chronic kidney disease is a lifetime illness; it will not go away. Chronic kidney disease is a widespread problem, especially in older people. In an early stage of the disease, the kidneys donât do a good job of removing extra water and waste out of the blood. Over time, the problem gets worse, and the kidneys may completely stop working. This is called end-stage renal disease or ESRD. Renal is another word for kidney.
