Kidney Disorders Laguna Hills, CA
Advanced Care for Kidney Disorders
Kidney problems typically affect both kidneys. If they cannot remove or regulate water and chemicals, the kidneys suffer serious damage from waste product buildup, causing severe swelling and the symptoms of kidney failure. Kidney disorders can be categorized as hereditary, congenital or acquired.
Hereditary Disorders
Transmitted to males and females, and generally produce clinical symptoms beginning in the teenage years on through adulthood. The most prevalent hereditary kidney condition is called polycystic kidney disease.
Congenital Disorders
Usually involve a malformation or obstruction in the urinary tract that can produce an infection or otherwise cause destruction of the kidney tissue, leading to chronic kidney failure.
Acquired Kidney Disease
Classified broadly as nephritis, this is mainly inflammation of the kidney. It has many causes, including:
- Kidney stones
- Nephrotic syndrome
- Long-standing hypertension
Of course, high blood pressure itself can cause kidney disease or result from a kidney disorder. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, can also speed up the natural progression of kidney disease.
