Q

What is the pathogenesis of CKD?

A

First nephrons generate utero which leads to atrophy which further get worse due to environmental and genetic factors as a result increase in nephron size and lose its barrier function and impaired filtration result in inflammation and scar formation result in damage of nephron.
