- Fatigue and swelling in later stages
- Changes in urination

What it involves
Regular monitoring of kidney function, blood pressure and diabetes control, and medication to slow progression.
What to expect
Early-stage CKD can often be managed for years without progressing to dialysis, if underlying causes are controlled.
