Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is when the kidneys do not work as well as they should and cannot filter blood properly. It is a long-term condition. Treating the cause and making lifestyle changes often play a big part in managing this condition.
Sometimes treatments like dialysis which helps filter blood instead of your kidneys, or kidney transplants are needed. Some causes of CKD include high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and family history.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) happens when the walls of the throat and upper airway collapse during sleep. This can cause your breathing to stop and start while you sleep.
Symptoms can include feeling very tired and waking up gasping or choking during the night. People with OSA may also experience headaches in the morning. If you share a bedroom with someone, they may notice you snore loudly or stop breathing during sleep.
There are many risk factors for OSA, but some of them include excess weight, large tonsils, smoking, and family history.

Osteoarthritis causes joint pain, stiffness, and sometimes swelling. It can affect any joint, but osteoarthritis of the knee is one of the most common types. It happens when the cartilage that usually protects your joints breaks down, and the bone underneath starts to change.

There are many risk factors for osteoarthritis, and they include joint injury, age, family history, obesity and being a woman.
