Kidney disease (also called renal disease) is when your kidneys are damaged or don't function as they should. If you have kidney disease that lasts for more than 3 months, it's called chronic kidney disease (or CKD).

Your kidneys' main job is to clean your blood and make urine (wee) to get rid of waste products. When your kidneys don't work properly, waste and fluid build-up inside your body.

Chronic kidney disease gets worse over time. It can eventually lead to kidney failure. If you are diagnosed and treated early, you may be able to slow down or stop your disease getting worse.

About 1 in 10 Australian adults has signs of chronic kidney disease. Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people are twice as likely to have chronic kidney disease.

What are the symptoms of high blood pressure?
Most people with high blood pressure have no symptoms. This is why it's important to have your blood pressure checked regularly.

Symptoms of very high blood pressure can include:

• headaches
• dizziness
• nosebleeds
• problems with your eyesight

Very high blood pressure can also cause complications, such as heart attack or stroke.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that affects how your ovaries work. It can start as early as the teenage years and may lead to:

• disruptions to your menstrual cycle
• skin and hair changes

PCOS is one of the most common causes of infertility in females. Many people don't know they have it, as PCOS is often not diagnosed.

While PCOS can't be cured, you and your doctor can manage many of its symptoms.

Smoking and va**ng are harmful. The good news is that when you quit, your body starts to heal right away.

Within a day of quitting smoking, oxygen flows more freely through your body. In a week, your senses sharpen and your body boosts protective antioxidants. By three months, your lungs start clearing out toxins and coughing eases. After a year, breathing feels easier, and within five years, your stroke risk drops dramatically.

Diabetes is a condition that occurs when your body cannot maintain healthy blood glucose (sugar) levels.

Type 2 diabetes develops when your body:

• does not respond properly to insulin
• gradually stops making enough insulin

Insulin is a hormone that controls the amount of glucose in your blood. Insulin helps glucose move from your blood into your cells, where it can be used for energy.

In type 2 diabetes, your cells do not respond properly to insulin. This is known as ‘insulin resistance'. It causes glucose to stay in your blood, leading to high blood glucose levels. This is known as hyperglycaemia.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in Australia, and many skin cancers first appear as a new mole or a change in an existing one.

That’s why it’s important to know what to look for. The ABCDE rule can help you spot changes in moles that may be a sign of skin cancer

If you notice a new mole, or one that’s changing in size, shape or colour, don’t ignore it. See your doctor - early detection can save lives.
