Chronic Kidney disease is characterized by a gradual loss of kidney function over time. Because of this, the wastes and fluids accumulate inside the body, leading to complications like low blood count, weak bones, nerve damage etc.  The main causes are diabetes and high blood pressure.  Early detection and treatment can prevent the condition from worsening.  If the disease aggravates, it may eventually lead to kidney failure, which requires dialysis or kidney transplant.  
This video briefly explains the procedure for treatment of the disease. Treatment of Chronic kidney disease depends on various stages. The stages are 1, 2 & 3 early stages where basically there are no medications for kidney disease. You need to control the underline cause. Like if you have diabetes, control diabetes well, keep the sugar under the control, if you have blood pressure, control blood pressure.  At Stage 4, where 60%-70% of the kidney is damaged, specific medications such as ACE Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blocker exist which prevent further progression.
