Abstract

Kidney diseases can lead to kidney failure which occurs when a person has less than 15% kidney function kidney diseases may also progressed due to our life styles including food we consume, Insufficient drinking of water, drug interactions and lack of hygiene. There are several types of kidney diseases they maybe progressed into chronic kidney diseases if they left untreated. Usually kidney diseases occur due to damaged glomerulus. In many cases immune complexes damage the glomeruli these are formed when antigen &antibodies combine either within in the kidney or elsewhere in the body and they circulate in the blood which leads to glomerulonephritis. Renal failure is the commonest cause of death in young people with diabetes mellitus. Hypertension can be the cause of renal disease. Bacterial infection of the renal pelvis and calyces causes the pyelonephritis which spreads to upward kidneys. Renal failure may also occur due to severe reduction in the glomerular filtration rate and decreased kidney function.
