Can kidney disease be transmitted to others

Kidney disease itself is generally not contagious.

Kidney disease is a disease involving the kidneys and includes a range of different causes and types, such as chronic kidney disease, nephritis, etc. These diseases are usually caused by internal factors, such as immune system disorders, genetic factors, diabetes, hypertension, etc. Kidney disease itself is not infectious and therefore is not contagious.

Patients should maintain a balanced diet and limit intake of foods high in salt, sugar and fat. In addition, blood tests and imaging tests should be actively carried out to monitor kidney function.
