subject: Varieties Of Kidney Diseases [print this page] There are many different types of organs found in the human body. If the kidneys are not in a good condition, it can make the condition of the people worse. There are such situations when the person suffering from a kidney failure starts following the dialysis process. In some of the cases, the patient also has to change their kidney.
There are several different types of kidney disease, some of which are worse than others. Kidney disease can be "acute", meaning it is of a fast onset or "chronic" meaning the decline in kidney function is slow. Both kinds of kidney disease can be due to autoimmune disorders, toxins, medications or infections.
Diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure can gradually worsen the function of the kidneys. Another classification of kidney disease occurs when the kidneys leak out certain body fluids or substances. One of these diseases is hematuria or blood in the urine. This can come from sickened kidneys that leak out blood cells from the capillaries in the kidneys.
The other type of disease is the common one known as the proteinuria. This is the disease when a protein named as albumin starts leaking from the body. This particular stage can become so great that there might be one such stage where you will not have enough protein in the blood.
We need our protein to keep the fluid in the blood vessels and without it, fluid leaks out into the tissues all over the body. This condition is known as "nephrotic syndrome". The presence of kidney stones is another kidney disease.
The stone in the kidney takes place when a person secretes calcium oxalate in large amounts in the urine and the other reason that leads to this particular disease is do not drinking enough water. Uric acid can also lead to kidney stones. These two things get stored in the urinary area of the kidney and leads in forming the stone in it and if passed becomes very painful.
