Chronic Kidney Disease

The kidneys remove waste products and excess water from the blood. Chronic Kidney Disease involves the gradual loss of kidney function over time that can ultimately lead to kidney failure.

Ckd
According to the selected literature, the relative genetic risk calculated from your genotype for males of European ancestry is 1.08. This corresponds to a 30.1% lifetime risk of developing chronic kidney disease, which is 8% greater than for males of European ancestry in general (source) . Note that these calculations may not include all risk factors.
The lifetime risk of your type
It is estimated that 30 of every 100 males of European ancestry with your genotype variants develop this disease in their lifetime.
Ckd
The average lifetime risk
On average, about 28 of every 100 males of European ancestry develop this disease in their lifetime.
