- Hypertension
- Lupus = an immune system disease
- An obstruction in the urinary tract (stone, tumor, etc.)
- Alport syndrome = a genetic disease
- Nephrotic syndrome = a disorder involving protein loss in the urine
- Polycystic kidney disease = a genetic disease in which many fluid-filled cysts form in the kidneys
- Cystinosis = a genetic disorder of amino acid metabolism
- Interstitial nephritis = inflammatory damage to the structures of the kidney
Chronic kidney failure can lead to many disorders, such as problems with the heart and circulatory system, blood vessel disorders, accumulation of substances, anemia and bone problems, and these are also treated in the Internal Medicine department.
