Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing health crisis worldwide, primarily driven by modifiable risk factors such as poor lifestyle choices, including unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption. Early intervention through lifestyle modification can prevent or delay the progression of CKD. However, public awareness about how lifestyle changes can impact kidney health is often inadequate. This study aims to assess the general public's knowledge on lifestyle modifications and preventive measures for CKD. A structured survey was administered to 50 participants, gathering data on their awareness of CKD prevention strategies such as diet, physical activity, smoking cessation, and regular health screenings. The findings indicate significant gaps in knowledge, especially regarding the role of routine health checks and dietary modifications in CKD prevention. The article emphasizes the need for public health campaigns to promote lifestyle modifications to reduce CKD risk.
