Conclusion: According to our study, there are two major causes of Kidney disease. One of them is Diabetes. High blood sugar levels caused bydiabetes damage blood vessels in the kidneys. If the blood sugar level remains high over many years, this damage gradually reduces the function of the kidneys leading to CKD. Second major cause of CKD is High blood pressure (hypertension).
