An elevated blood potassium level that can impair cardiac function, often associated with decreased renal excretion.

Characterized by hematuria, hypertension, and mild proteinuria resulting from inflammatory damage to glomeruli.

A treatment that replaces the function of the kidneys by filtering blood through a dialyzer to remove waste products.

Measures kidney function by evaluating how much blood passes through the glomeruli each minute.

A genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys, ultimately impairing kidney function.

Presence of abnormal amounts of protein in the urine, which can indicate damage to the glomerular filtration barrier.

A group of disorders characterized by the kidney's failure to either acidify the urine or reabsorb bicarbonate.

Death of tubular cells, typically due to ischemia or toxic insults, leading to acute kidney injury.

An increase in GFR that can initially compensate for loss of nephron function but may lead to further kidney damage.

Progressive loss of renal function over time, which may result in the need for dialysis or transplantation.

A form of dialysis where the patient's peritoneum is used as the dialysis membrane to remove waste and excess fluid.

A set of symptoms including severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema due to increased permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier.

Elevation of nitrogenous waste products in the blood, often due to decreased kidney function.

A sudden loss of kidney function often caused by ischemia, toxins, or obstruction.
