Kidney diseases

formation of one or more mineral calculi (stones) in the urinary tract

disease where the kidneys fail to adequately filter waste products from the blood

Human disease

progressive loss in kidney function over a period of months or years

abrupt loss of kidney function that develops within 48 hours

Hydronephrosis is a medical condition where the kidney becomes enlarged due to a complete or partial obstruction in the outflow of urine. This results in the dilation of parts of the kidney that function to collect urine (renal pelvis and calyces). Hydronephrosis can affect one or both kidneys and can develop suddenly or gradually over time. This condition affects individuals of all ages including in fetuses during pregnancy.

Uremia is the condition of having high levels of urea in the blood. Urea is one of the primary components of urine. It can be defined as an excess in the blood of amino acid and protein metabolism end products, such as urea and creatinine, which would normally be excreted in the urine. Uremic syndrome can be defined as the terminal clinical manifestation of kidney failure (also called renal failure). It is the signs, symptoms and results from laboratory tests which result from inadequate excretory, regulatory, and endocrine function of the kidneys. Both uremia and uremic syndrome have been use

Nephritis is inflammation of the kidneys and may involve the glomeruli, tubules, or interstitial tissue surrounding the glomeruli and tubules. It is one of several different types of nephropathy.

urinary system disease that is located in the kidney

Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a term used to refer to several kidney diseases (usually affecting both kidneys). Many of the diseases are characterised by inflammation either of the glomeruli or of the small blood vessels in the kidneys, hence the name, but not all diseases necessarily have an inflammatory component.

urinary system cancer that is located in the kidney

renal tubular transport disease of the proximal renal tubes characterized by glucosuria, phosphaturia, generalized aminoaciduria and HCO3 wasting

renal tubular transport disease characterized by excess levels of acid in the blood, due to a failure of the kidneys

Nephroptosis is a rare and abnormal condition in which the kidney drops down (ptosis) into the pelvis when the patient stands up. It is more common in women than in men. It has been one of the most controversial conditions in terms of both its diagnosis and its treatments.

Diuresis () is the excretion of urine, especially when excessive (polyuria). The term collectively denotes the physiologic processes underpinning increased urine production by the kidneys during maintenance of fluid balance.

congenital disorder of urinary system

impaired renal function disease characterized by a complete or partial resistance of the kidneys to arginine vasopressin (AVP)

abnormal fluid filled sac within the kidney, either acquired or congenital

thumb|Kidney showing circumscribed calcium deposits together with a partial stag horn calculus. Nephrocalcinosis, once known as '''Albright's calcinosis''' after Fuller Albright, is a term originally used to describe the deposition of poorly soluble calcium salts in the renal parenchyma due to hyperparathyroidism. The term nephrocalcinosis is used to describe the deposition of both calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate. It may cause acute kidney injury. It is now more commonly used to describe diffuse, fine, renal parenchymal calcification in radiology. It is caused by multiple different condi

Tubulopathy is a disease affecting the renal tubules of the nephron.

Glomerulopathy is a disease that impacts the glomeruli in the nephron, either inflammatory or noninflammatory. Glomerulopathy includes collapsing glomerulopathy, glomerulocystic kidney disease, glomerulomegaly, membranous nephropathy, and tip lesion glomerulopathy.

interstitial nephritis endemic to the regions along the Danube river, in the modern countries of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria

Human disease

Pyonephrosis () is a dangerous kidney infection that is characterized by pus accumulation in the renal collecting system. It is linked to renal collecting system blockage and suppurative renal parenchymal destruction, which result in complete or nearly complete kidney failure.

Nephrosis is any of various forms of kidney disease (nephropathy). In an old and broad sense of the term, it is any nephropathy, but in current usage the term is usually restricted to a narrower sense of nephropathy without inflammation or neoplasia, in which sense it is distinguished from nephritis, which involves inflammation. It is also defined as any purely degenerative disease of the renal tubules. Nephrosis is characterized by a set of signs called the nephrotic syndrome. Nephrosis can be a primary disorder or can be secondary to another disorder. Nephrotic complications of another disor

Perinephritis is an infection of the surroundings of the kidney either right or left. It can be the result of extravasated infiltration of the bacteria out of the renal pelvis (pyelonephritis) or a result of another kidney infection. The consequences include the infection of the neighbouring organs (for example transverse colon) or retroperitoneum, and/or hypertension. Perirenal abscess also may occur.
