Presentation
Children who have CKD may present to clinicians with a combination of problems involving growth, nutrition, electrolyte disturbances, renal osteodystrophy, anemia, immunizations, hypertension, and renal transplantation. … View Full Text Log in using your [pedsinreview.aappublications.org]
Excess protein in the urine can be screened for by placing a small plastic strip embedded with chemicals that change color when protein is present (urine dipstick) into a fresh urine specimen or can be measured more accurately with a laboratory test on [worldkidneyday.org]

Antidepressants present an interesting case. While depression is associated with ED and is a frequent comorbidity in CKD patients, treatment is not always associated with an improvement in ED ( 39 ). [frontiersin.org]

Nausea
[…] normally urea in the body gets excreted in the urine, but when there’s a decreased glomerular filtration fate, less urea get filtered out, and therefore it accumulates in the blood, a condition called azotemia, which can cause general symptoms like It nausea [osmosis.org]
Treatment
The main treatments are a proper diet and medications, and for those who reach ESRD, long term dialysis treatment or kidney transplantation. [worldkidneyday.org]

This is accomplished through aggressive treatment of the underlying diseases causing CKD. The most common cause of CKD is diabetes followed by hypertension (high blood pressure). [boisekidney.com]
Prognosis
More recently, day- and night-time blood pressure readings predicted prognosis in treated and untreated hypertensive patients. [spectrum.diabetesjournals.org]
Etiology
Insufficient gonadotropin stimulation contributes to the etiology, but other factors are also significant. [frontiersin.org]
Epidemiology
If the prevalence of ED in dialysis patients is taken to be around 80% ( 26, 57 ), then epidemiological results suggest a lower level of approximately 30–50% following transplantation ( 57 – 59 ). [frontiersin.org]
Profuse epidemiological data in diabetes, with or without CKD, underscores ABPM's utility, although normal ABPM pressures are lower than OBP readings, i.e., a 24-hour mean blood pressure that mildly exceeds 130/80 mmHg is associated with target organ [spectrum.diabetesjournals.org]

In addition to the pathophysiological effects of endocrine dysfunction, CKD patients experience diminished quality of life due to impaired health ( 67 ), and this will also contribute to a reduction in libido. [frontiersin.org]
Prevention
Early detection of CKD is extremely important as the goal in treating CKD is to slow progression and prevent the need for dialysis down the road. This is accomplished through aggressive treatment of the underlying diseases causing CKD. [boisekidney.com]
