Chronic kidney disease is most commonly caused by elevated blood pressure or elevated blood sugar levels. Other causes include anti inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen or naproxen. And gastric acid pump inhibitors such as Omeprazole are now recognized as causing kidney damage over time. Chronic kidney cysts can cause kidney damage over time. Recurrent kidney stones can also cause kidney damage. And chronic ureter or bladder blockage can cause injury to kidneys.
The two big causes of chronic kidney disease are hypertension and diabetes. Please ask your doctor how you got chronic kidney disease. She (or he) is best placed to answer how you got it. If you're not getting answers from your doctor, get another one.
