Kidney Diseases

Chronic Kidney Failure

Chronic kidney disease, also called chronic renal failure, involves a progressive loss of kidney function. Your kidneys filter waste and extra fluid from your blood, which is then removed from your urine. Advanced chronic kidney disease can cause a dangerous buildup of fluids, electrolytes, and waste products in your body.

Kidney Stone

Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form in the kidneys. Diet, obesity, certain medical conditions, and certain dietary supplements and medications are among the many causes of kidney stones.

Urinary Tract Infection

A urinary tract infection is an infection in any part of the urinary system. The urinary system includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Most infections affect the lower urinary tract, bladder, and urethra. Women are at higher risk of developing a UTI than men.
