1. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): A long-term condition where kidneys gradually lose function over time, often due to conditions like diabetes or hypertension.
2. Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): Sudden and temporary loss of kidney function, usually caused by severe infections, dehydration, or certain medications.
3. End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD): The final stage of CKD when kidneys are functioning at a minimal level, requiring dialysis or transplantation for survival.
4. Diabetic Nephropathy: Kidney damage resulting from diabetes, a common cause of CKD.
5. Hypertensive Nephropathy: Kidney damage caused by long-term high blood pressure, contributing to CKD.
6. Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD):Inherited disorder leading to the formation of fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys, affecting their function.
7. Glomerulonephritis:Inflammation of the kidney’s filtering units (glomeruli), impacting their ability to filter waste and fluids.
Understanding the causes, symptoms, and available treatments for kidney failure is crucial. Consult healthcare professionals for personalized information and appropriate management strategies.
