Kidney diseases (nephropathies) are quite common. Some of them are:

- AKD (acute kidney disease), often due to physical trauma or ischema (blood starvation)

- CKD (chronic kidney disease), often caused by Diabetes, lupus, hypertension, but also often idiopathic (ie. cause is unknown). There are many types of CKD. Unfortunately, more often than not, CKD leads to ESRD (End-Stage Renal Disease), and dialysis or a transplant is required

- kidney cancer

- kidney stones

- PKD - polycystic kidney disease

- IgA nephropathy (Berger's disease).
