Mild Kidney Dysfunction

Mild kidney dysfunction is a condition where the kidneys are not filtering blood at full efficiency, but still function well enough to prevent major symptoms. It's often an early sign of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and can be reversed or stabilized with early intervention.
