Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a long-term, progressive condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood, often advancing silently and benefiting greatly from preventive medicine and early intervention. CKD is a major public-health concern strongly linked to diabetes, hypertension, and other systemic conditions, and a key focus of preventive medicine because timely detection and risk-factor control can slow its progression and reduce complications. As kidney function declines, the body retains waste and fluid and develops disturbances in blood pressure, electrolytes, and red-blood-cell production, with consequences extending to cardiovascular and metabolic health. Preventive strategies emphasize screening, management of underlying conditions, and monitoring of kidney function to delay decline toward end-stage disease. Research collected here reflects these preventive and clinical themes, including thyroid function abnormalities in chronic and end-stage kidney disease, distinguishing depression from apathy in CKD, hypertension patterns by CKD stage, and the role of BCL-2 and BAK genes and hepcidin gene polymorphisms in CKD and hemodialysis patients. Additional studies address cardiovascular risk assessment such as Framingham risk scoring across populations, cardiorenal signaling in heart failure, mortality factors in patients with cancer and diabetes, the toxicity of iodinated radiographic contrast agents, and protective effects of natural compounds against nephrotoxicity, together illustrating CKD as a condition where prevention, risk management, and clinical care intersect.
