Overview
Chronic kidney disease is a long-term reduction in kidney function that can progress over time and affect fluid balance, blood pressure, and overall health.
Scarring
FSGS is a condition in which parts of the kidney filters become scarred, often leading to protein loss in urine and gradual loss of kidney function.
Filters
Membranous nephropathy affects the filtering membranes of the kidneys and may cause protein leakage, swelling, and changes in kidney function over time.
Protein
Proteinuric kidney diseases are conditions where excess protein is lost in urine, often signaling damage in the kidney filters and possible progression of kidney disease.
Inflammation
IgA nephropathy is caused by a buildup of IgA in the kidneys, which can lead to inflammation, blood or protein in urine, and reduced kidney function over time.
