Kidney Disorders

Kidney disorders refer to conditions that impair the kidneys' ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood effectively. Common issues include chronic kidney disease (gradual loss of function), acute kidney injury (sudden decline), infections, stones, and structural problems. These disorders can cause symptoms like swelling, fatigue, or changes in urination, and may lead to serious health problems if untreated. Causes range from high blood pressure and diabetes to infections and genetic factors. Treatment depends on the specific condition and severity but often involves medication, lifestyle changes, and sometimes dialysis or surgery to support kidney function.
