If you’re trying to lose weight, it’s important to make sure you’re targeting fat and not lean muscle mass. This concern is especially relevant for anyone dealing with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Rapid weight changes, whether gains or losses, can have a negative impact on kidney health.

Gradual, healthy progress is key to protecting your kidneys while improving energy, mobility, and confidence. Take these three steps to ensure your weight loss goals complement your kidney care journey, not compromise it.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) often develops silently. In its earliest stages, there may be no obvious symptoms, which means many people living with Stage 1 or Stage 2 CKD don’t realize their kidneys are already under strain. Early detection is one of the most important factors in protecting long-term kidney function; knowing the signs can help you take action before the condition progresses.
