Chronic kidney disease (CKD), also known as chronic renal disease, is a progressive loss in renal function over a period of months or years. The symptoms of worsening kidney function are not specific, and might include feeling generally unwell and experiencing a reduced appetite.  A List of Kidney Diseases. This is a list of diseases of the kidney and urinary tract, both common and rare, for patients and physicians. (If you’re interested in a basic introduction to the kidneys instead, please click here .). This list is updated frequently.  If the kidneys' ability to filter the blood is seriously damaged by disease, wastes and excess fluid may build up in the body. Although many forms of kidney disease do not produce symptoms until late in the course of the disease, there are six warning signs of kidney disease: 1  High blood pressure. The kidneys may be affected by diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Some kidney conditions are inherited (run in families). Others are congenital; that is, individuals may be born with an abnormality that can affect their kidneys. The following are some of the most common types and causes of kidney damage. Tests Used to Diagnose Kidney Disease. Several types of tests are used to diagnose and evaluate different types of kidney disease: 1  Kidney function is determined using blood and urine tests. 2  Imaging tests are a relatively painless and low-risk way of providing useful information about kidney structure.  The term kidney disease refers to any disease, disorder, or condition that affects the kidneys. Here is a list of different types of kidney diseases. Hover over the highlighted term for a description of the ailment. 1  Alport Syndrome. 2  Diabetic Nephropathy. 3  Fabry Disease. 4  Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis. 5  Glomerulonephritis.  Chronic kidney disease is particularly dangerous, because you may not have any symptoms until considerable, often irreparable, kidney damage has occurred. Diabetes (types 1 and 2) and high blood pressure are the most common causes of CKD. Other causes are:  Some diseases and conditions that may lead to kidney failure include: 1  blood clots in or around the kidneys. 2  infections. 3  an overload of toxins from heavy metals. 4  drugs and alcohol. 5  vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels). 6  lupus (an automimmune disease that can cause inflammation of many body organs).  The types of kidney disorders are largely categorised as acute and chronic. Many types of kidney disorders have been identified so far. Different types of kidney diseases are caused due to different reasons and they show different signs and symptoms. The treatment method is also different for each type of disease. There are mainly two types of kidney disorders namely acute kidney disease and chronic kidney disease. While the acute kidney disease may develop all of a sudden, the chronic kidney disease develops over a long period of time. Apart from the above mentioned types of kidney disorders, there are also a few rare types of diseases. These kidney disorders include Hyperfiltration, mild microalbuminuria, clinical albuminuria, advanced clinical nephropathy, chronic renal insufficiency, etc. There are several different types of kidney disease, and each of them has the potential to cause permanent kidney damage, often leading to the necessity of dialysis or kidney transplant. Some of the most common types of diseases affecting the kidneys include hereditary, systemic, and glomerular.  The three types of polycystic kidney disease are autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, and acquired cystic kidney disease.
