Kidney disorders

Kidney disorders refer to a range of conditions that impair the normal functioning of the kidneys—organs responsible for filtering waste, balancing fluids, regulating blood pressure, and producing essential hormones. These disorders can be acute (sudden onset) or chronic (developing over time), and include conditions like chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney stones, infections, nephritis, and kidney failure. Symptoms may include fatigue, swelling in the legs or face, changes in urination, high blood pressure, and nausea. Early diagnosis and treatment—such as medication, dietary changes, dialysis, or even kidney transplantation—are essential to prevent further damage and maintain overall health.
