Chronic kidney disease is a long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose function over time, leading to waste buildup in the body.

Common causes include diabetes, high blood pressure, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, and recurrent kidney infections.

Symptoms may include fatigue, swelling in ankles and feet, nausea, shortness of breath, confusion, and decreased urine output.

Diagnosis is made through blood tests, urine tests, imaging studies, and sometimes a kidney biopsy to assess kidney function and damage.

Treatments include medications to manage symptoms, lifestyle changes, dialysis, and in severe cases, kidney transplantation.

Risks include infection, bleeding, implant malfunction, and changes in penile sensation or function.

The Erythropoietin Test measures erythropoietin levels to evaluate red blood cell production and diagnose related conditions.

No specific preparation is generally needed, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking.

Results are typically available within a few days, allowing for timely diagnosis and treatment planning.

Abnormal levels can indicate anemia, chronic kidney disease, or conditions causing overproduction of red blood cells.
