Chronic Kidney Disease is a progressive disease that damage the Renal Tubules and there by gradually affect the kidney function of eliminating waste products of protein metabolism like urea and creatinine in urine, These waste products start accumulating in blood and if left untreated result into renal failure and finally death of patient.
