Rare Kidney Diseases

Rare kidney diseases are uncommon conditions that affect the kidneys, vital organs responsible for filtering waste and maintaining fluid balance in the body. These diseases can cause various issues, such as inflammation, genetic defects, or damage to kidney tissues. Symptoms may include swelling, high blood pressure, and changes in urine. Although they are not prevalent, they can severely impact health, requiring specialized diagnosis and treatment. Early detection and management are crucial to prevent complications and preserve kidney function, often involving a team of healthcare professionals, including nephrologists, dietitians, and social workers.
