Kidney Diseases

Kidney diseases are conditions that affect the kidneys’ ability to filter waste, balance fluids, and maintain overall health. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can help prevent complications and preserve kidney function.

• Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) – A gradual loss of kidney function over time.
• Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) – A sudden decline in kidney function that develops rapidly.
• Kidney Stones – Hard mineral deposits that form in the kidneys and may cause severe pain.
• Nephrotic Syndrome – A kidney disorder that causes excessive protein loss in the urine.
• Glomerulonephritis – Inflammation of the kidney’s filtering units (glomeruli).
• Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) – An inherited condition causing fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys.
• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) – An infection that can affect the kidneys, bladder, or urinary system.
• Pyelonephritis – A bacterial infection of the kidneys.
• Kidney Failure – A condition in which the kidneys can no longer adequately filter waste from the blood.
• Diabetic Kidney Disease – Kidney damage caused by long-term diabetes.
• Hypertensive Kidney Disease – Kidney damage resulting from high blood pressure.
• Hydronephrosis – Swelling of a kidney due to a buildup of urine.
