When the condition worsens, dialysis may be required, which has a great impact on daily life. It is also a risk factor for life-threatening illnesses such as myocardial infarction and stroke.

    In particular, lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and hyperuricemia (gout) are considered to be the main causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
