Chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is the gradual loss of kidney function over time, can go undetected for years or even decades, since people may not experience symptoms until they reach the point where their kidneys have nearly ceased working. Although about 14 percent of people in the U.S. are living with CKD, only a small fraction – about 1 in 10 of them – is aware of it.
