The 63 pages that link to Chronic kidney disease, each with the reason it gives.
HypertensionRelated: Hypertension can damage kidney vessels, and kidney disease can further raise pressure.
AtherosclerosisRelated: Atherosclerotic disease in renal arteries can reduce kidney perfusion and contribute to kidney injury.
Blood pressureRelated: Kidney damage can both result from and worsen abnormal blood pressure.
Foodborne illnessRelated: Severe foodborne infections and their complications can leave lasting kidney damage.
HyperkalemiaRelated: Reduced kidney capacity can limit potassium excretion, especially as disease advances.
KidneyRelated: Progressive loss of function can impair filtration and fluid regulation.
HemodialysisRelated: Progressive disease can make ongoing hemodialysis necessary.
ErythropoietinRelated: Damaged kidneys may produce too little erythropoietin, contributing to anemia.
Glomerular filtration rateRelated: GFR helps define and stage chronic kidney disease when reduced over time.
ACE inhibitorRelated: ACE inhibitors can reduce albumin leakage and slow progression in some patients.
Glomerular filtrationRelated: Progressive loss of functioning glomeruli can reduce filtration capacity.
Electrolyte imbalanceRelated: Reduced kidney function can impair potassium, phosphate, and acid-base regulation.
AllopurinolRelated: Kidney function influences oxypurinol clearance and allopurinol dosing decisions.
UrineRelated: Reduced kidney function can alter urine production and composition.
ErythropoiesisRelated: Reduced renal erythropoietin production commonly contributes to anemia in this disease.
Nephrotic syndromeRelated: Some underlying glomerular diseases progress to lasting loss of kidney function.
GLP-1 receptor agonistRelated: Certain agents can reduce kidney-related risks in people with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
Granulomatosis with polyangiitisRelated: Severe or recurrent glomerulonephritis can leave lasting renal damage despite remission.
HypocalcemiaRelated: Impaired phosphate excretion and altered vitamin D activation can contribute to low calcium.
NephrolithiasisRelated: Repeated obstruction, infection, or associated disorders may contribute to kidney damage.
RicketsRelated: Kidney dysfunction can disrupt vitamin D activation and mineral balance, causing renal rickets.
Urinary systemRelated: It illustrates the long-term consequences of impaired urinary filtration.
Kidney stoneRelated: Repeated obstruction or associated kidney damage can contribute to lasting functional loss.
Primary aldosteronismRelated: The disorder is associated with kidney damage, making detection and targeted treatment clinically consequential.
Angiotensin IIRelated: Angiotensin II can increase glomerular pressure and contribute to progressive kidney injury.
CreatinineRelated: Repeated creatinine-based estimates help detect and stage reduced kidney function.
NephrocalcinosisRelated: Extensive or persistent nephrocalcinosis can be associated with declining kidney function.
Glycated hemoglobinRelated: Anemia, altered red-cell survival, and treatment can reduce measurement accuracy.
HomocysteineRelated: Reduced kidney function can elevate homocysteine, making it difficult to interpret as an independent risk factor.
NephrologyRelated: Nephrologists assess its causes, monitor progression, and manage complications.
Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritisRelated: Persistent impairment is uncommon, but can follow severe disease, especially in adults.
CystinuriaRelated: Severe recurrent obstruction, infection, or procedures can contribute to lasting kidney damage.
Fanconi syndromeRelated: Certain inherited and acquired causes can lead to progressive renal impairment.
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuriaRelated: Repeated hemoglobin exposure and other effects of PNH can damage the kidneys.
Kidney stone diseaseRelated: Repeated obstruction, infection, or certain stone disorders can damage kidney function over time.
LisinoprilRelated: Lisinopril may protect kidneys in proteinuric disease, though kidney function and potassium require monitoring.
LosartanRelated: Losartan may reduce albuminuria and protect kidney function in selected patients.
Alström syndromeRelated: Renal impairment can develop and adds to the syndrome’s multisystem burden.
EnalaprilRelated: Enalapril may protect kidneys in some proteinuric conditions, though kidney function and potassium require monitoring.
Hypertensive heart diseaseRelated: Kidney disease often accompanies hypertension and can worsen blood pressure and cardiovascular risk.
HyperparathyroidismRelated: It commonly causes secondary hyperparathyroidism rather than primary gland overproduction.
Calcium acetateRelated: Reduced phosphate excretion can make calcium acetate useful in managing this disease.
Diabetes medicationRelated: Kidney function can determine which diabetes drugs are suitable and how they are dosed.
Magnesium citrateRelated: Reduced renal clearance increases the danger of magnesium accumulation.
Nutritional and Metabolic DiseasesRelated: It can both result from and worsen metabolic disorders, including diabetes.
RamiprilRelated: Ramipril can protect kidney function in some patients, especially with albuminuria, while requiring monitoring.
Urogenital DiseasesRelated: Some urinary diseases damage the kidneys and progress to chronic loss of function.
