Chronic kidney disease is defined as the presence of markers of kidney damage for > 3 months, and may include abnormalities in markers in blood or urine, and imaging<unk> and/or GFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for > 3 months with or without other signs of kidney damage. The kidneys play an important role in the regulation of serum concentration of electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphate, bicarbonate and chloride as well as levels of hemoglobin, hematocrit, blood pressure and extracellular volume.  Hence, chronic injury to the kidneys can lead to derangement in the normal values of above mentioned parameters.
