What is the prognosis for a patient with nephrotic syndrome?
Prognosis depends on the underlying disorder. Minimal change disease has the best prognosis of all the kidney disorders, with 90% of all patients responding to treatment. Other types of kidney diseases have less favorable outcomes.
Will renal cell carcinoma kill you?
A person may need to get the cancerous kidney removed or treated. Hopefully, the other kidney is OK. Most likely it is not fatal.
What is the prognosis for a patient with nephrotoxic injury?
The outcome of nephrotoxic injury is determined by the cause and severity of the damage. In cases where damage has not progressed beyond acute renal failure, kidney function can be fully restored once the toxin is removed from.
How serious is kidney cancer?
About 90% of kidney cancers are renal cell cancers (RCC). They are sometimes called renal adenocarcinoma. There are different subtypes of renal cell cancer which can be identified by looking at the cells under a microscope.There is a rarer type of kidney cancer, known as transitional cell cancer (TCC), which starts in the cells lining the central area of the kidney (the renal pelvis).For more straighforward information on kidney cancer, visit the related link.
What is the prognosis for a patient with amyloidosis?
The course of each patient's illness is unique but death, usually a result of heart disease or kidney failure, generally occurs within a few years. Amyloidosis associated by multiple myeloma usually has a poor prognosis.

What is cancer of the kidney called?
Cancer of the kidney is most commonly referred to as renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer, accounting for about 90% of all cases. It originates in the small tubes of the kidneys where urine is formed. There are different subtypes of renal cell carcinoma, and they may have distinct characteristics. Some common subtypes include: Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC): This is the most common subtype, accounting for approximately 70-80% of all renal cell carcinomas. It is characterized by clear cells when viewed under a microscope. Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma: This subtype makes up about 10-15% of renal cell carcinomas. It is characterized by the development of small finger-like projections in the tumor. Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma: Chromophobe RCC is a less common subtype, accounting for about 5% of cases. It is characterized by large, pale cells. Collecting Duct Carcinoma: This is a rare and aggressive type of renal cell carcinoma that arises in the collecting ducts of the kidney. Unclassified Renal Cell Carcinoma: In some cases, the tumor may not fit neatly into one of the established subtypes and is classified as unclassified.
Can hemodialysis to improve the kidney failure?
It does not improve the patients kidney function in any way, but it acts as a "substitute kidney", filtering out toxic waste products from the patient's blood until the patient receives a kidney transplant.
