Common Types of Kidney Disease
Kidney stones are hard deposits that form inside the kidneys. They are a common health condition, but they can be very painful. Kidney stones can be as small as a grain of sand or as big as a golf ball.
Chronic kidney disease is when the kidneys lose their ability to filter blood and waste products from the body. This means that substances like protein and salt build up in the blood and urine, which can lead to serious health problems if not treated.
Chronic kidney infections happen when bacteria or other microorganisms enter the urinary tract and cause an infection in one or both of your kidneys.
Kidney cysts are fluid-filled sacs that grow on your kidneys, usually without causing any symptoms at first. Kidney cancer is a type of cancer that starts in one or both of your kidneys.
