2. Enlarged Prostate
There are a number of potential causes of chronic kidney disease, one of which is an enlarged prostate. The prostate is a small organ found only in men and it has the role of bathing sperm in a fluid as they pass through the urethra during ejaculation.
An enlarged prostate can sometimes block the flow of urine from the kidney and out of the body. This can cause urine to back up in the urinary system, and this has the potential to cause kidney disease. Treatment for an enlarged prostate tends to include medication to help relieve the patient of their symptoms.
