Nephrology Diseases

Kidney failure

Kidney failure (renal failure) means one or both of your kidneys no longer function well on their own. Kidney failure is sometimes temporary and develops quickly (acute). Other times it’s a chronic (long-term) condition that slowly gets worse.

Nephrotic Syndrome

Nephrotic (neff-rot-ick) syndrome is a condition in which your kidneys release an excessive amount of protein (proteinuria) in your urine (pee).

Diabetes-Related Nephropathy

Diabetes-related nephropathy is a condition that affects your kidneys. Another name for diabetes-related nephropathy is diabetes-related kidney disease (DKD).

Glomerulonephritis

Glomerulonephritis is a type of kidney disease. It involves damage to the glomeruli (tiny filters) inside your kidneys. If you have glomerulonephritis, your kidneys can have trouble removing waste and fluid from your body. Many mild cases resolve with treatment. If the condition becomes severe, it can lead to kidney failure.

Nephrological Disorders

Nephrological disorders affect the kidneys, responsible for filtering waste and regulating fluids.
Common conditions include chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney stones, glomerulonephritis, and polycystic kidney disease.
Risk factors include diabetes, hypertension, genetic predispositions, and infections.
Symptoms can range from swelling, fatigue, changes in urination, to high blood pressure.
Early diagnosis through tests like urine analysis, blood tests, and imaging is crucial.
Treatments include lifestyle changes, medications, dialysis, and in severe cases, kidney transplants.
Regular monitoring and management can help prevent further kidney damage.

Test and Treatment

Lifestyle Changes: Diet modification, increased water intake, weight management, and smoking cessation.
Medications: Control blood pressure, manage blood sugar, and reduce protein loss in urine.
Dialysis: Hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis for kidney failure to filter waste from blood.
Kidney Transplant: Surgical procedure for end-stage kidney disease, replacing the diseased kidney with a healthy donor kidney.
Surgical Procedures: For kidney stones, obstructions, or in cases of structural abnormalities.
Immunosuppressive Therapy: For conditions like glomerulonephritis and autoimmune-related kidney disorders.
Monitoring: Regular blood tests, urine analysis, and imaging for disease progression.
