Abstract. Signs of kidney damage are noted in every tenth inhabitant of the population. But many people suffering from kidney diseases do not suspect for a long time that they are sick. The insidiousness of kidney diseases lies in the fact that they can proceed asymptomatically, without causing any complaints, and they can only be detected by passing a medical examination. That is why chronic kidney disease, along with diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension, is referred to as "silent killers". If you do not take the disease under control, diagnose it in time and do not allow it to progress, terminal renal failure develops over time, that is, the kidneys cease to perform vital functions. Prevention carried out on time increases the incidence among the population.
