Types of Kidney Diseases
Kidney diseases include several conditions that affect kidney function in different ways. Learn more about the most common kidney diseases below.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
A long-term condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste effectively. Early treatment can help slow disease progression.
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
A sudden decline in kidney function caused by illness, dehydration, infection, or certain medications. Prompt treatment can often restore kidney function.
Kidney Failure
An advanced stage of kidney disease where the kidneys can no longer perform their essential functions and may require dialysis or kidney transplantation.
Kidney Stones
Hard mineral deposits that form in the kidneys and may cause severe pain, blood in the urine, or difficulty passing urine.
Protein in Urine
The presence of excess protein in urine may be an early warning sign of kidney damage and should not be ignored.
Glomerulonephritis
Inflammation of the kidney’s filtering units that can affect kidney function if left untreated.
Diabetic Kidney Disease
Kidney damage caused by long-term diabetes, one of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease.
Hypertension & Kidney Disease
High blood pressure can both damage the kidneys and result from kidney disease, making early management important.
Electrolyte Disorders
Kidney diseases can disrupt the balance of minerals such as sodium and potassium, affecting various body functions.
When Should You See a Nephrologist?
Early consultation with a nephrologist can help diagnose kidney problems before they progress and reduce the risk of long-term complications. You should consult a kidney specialist if you experience any of the following:
- Swelling in the feet, ankles, face, or hands
- Blood or persistent protein in the urine
- Changes in urination, such as frequent or reduced urine output
- Uncontrolled high blood pressure
- Diabetes with signs of kidney damage
- Elevated creatinine or abnormal kidney function test results
- Recurrent kidney stones or urinary tract infections
- Persistent fatigue or unexplained loss of appetite
If you have diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney disease, regular kidney health check-ups are recommended even if you do not have symptoms.
