This lesson is the continuation of urinary system disease conditions. 5. Polycystic kidneys: There are manifold liquefied pouches or cysts formed inside the kidneys. This is a genetic condition that typically stays behind asymptomatic or no symptom revealed until one's adult life. The symptoms in the adult life reveals this condition are enlargement of the kidneys (nephromegaly), hematuria (blood in the urine), UTI (urinary tract infection), uremia, and hypertension. 6. Pyelonephritis: This is a disease condition caused by a bacteria due to the inflammation of the renal pelvis in the kidneys. Pus is collected in the renal pelvis as tiny abscesses. The symptom of this disease is pyuria that is excretion of pus in the urine. Surgical repair is needed to remove the obstructions and antibiotics are the treatment options for this disease condition. 7. Kidney failure or renal failure: In this disease condition kidneys fail to send out urine. Nitrogenous wastes and some acids ar...

We usually imagine our kidneys as a simple biological strainer silently working in the background of our body to remove waste. These organs, however, are busy places, and are interconnected with our immune and endocrine systems. They tend to do things quietly in the background and we don't realize that we are harming their internal "infrastructure" by common infections or underlying metabolic changes. The condition of our kidneys is determined by much more than simply filtration; from the after effects of a bacterial attack to the delicate behavior of connective tissues. When evaluating how renal pathology develops over time, looking at fundamental clinical definitions alongside systemic physiology reveals a critical pattern: renal disease rarely announces itself with immediate local pain. Instead, it frequently communicates through immune reactions, endocrine shifts, and subtle systemic warnings. 1. Delayed Danger: How a Simple Throat Infection Can Wreak Havoc on the Ki...
