The whole branch of Nephrology revolves around the various diagnosis and medical procedures for the treatment of kidney-related diseases. Various factors such as diabetes and several autoimmune diseases affect the proper functioning of kidneys. Onconephrology is a branch that is mainly focused on cancer-related kidney diseases.

  • Hypertension
  • Autoimmune disorder
  • Dialysis
  • Treatment for the disorder

The overall prevalence and the distribution of a particular disease condition over a period of time can be tracked to infer the presence and the pandemic state of the disease. Clinical research about various kidney-related diseases can help to understand more and acquire new insights about the disease. This will help the science community to take forward the clinical works done previously.

The diseases which can be genetically inherited from a parent to an offspring is expressed through ‘n’ number of generations. Such cases are the effect of genetic mutation and inheritance of those specific genes across the generations. The chances of having a kidney disease are higher in individuals with a history of diabetes, which might have been inherited from their parents. Early diagnosis of the defective genes can be useful in treating the disease at an early stage of development.

  • Inheritance of kidney diseases
  • Genetic mutation
  • Genomic analysis about the cause of the disease
  • Genes linked to the disease condition

There has been a major concern in the area of developmental biology on the effects of aging on kidneys, the majority of the population seem to encounter these age-related changes in kidneys functions. About two-thirds of the People between the ages of 30-40 have a significant decline in the weights of their kidneys, also the rate at which the kidneys filter blood also decreases. The regeneration of renal tissues decreases as a result of aging, these micro-anatomical structural changes in the glomerulus and other related cellular structures indicates the increased prevalence of nephrosclerosis.

  • Role of mesodermal mesenchymal cells
  • Effects of aging on kidney
  • Stem cell therapy

 Acute kidney injury (or) failure is the sudden shut down of the function of the kidney in which the kidney will no longer be able to filter the waste excretory products from the blood. The kidney may lose its total function in less than a few days. When a person suffers from AKI the waste accumulated in the body reaches an alarming level, this causes a chemical imbalance in the blood which results in severe health issues.

  • Acute tubular necrosis
  • Intratubular obstruction
  • Pre-renal azotemia
  • Metabolic acidosis

As the name suggests, chronic kidney disease, unlike the acute kidney is the gradual loss of kidney function over a certain period of time. In the early stages of chronic kidney disease, the symptoms may not be very significant and apparent. The treatment is carried out in such a way that the progression of the kidney damage is made to happen at a slower rate. But this chronic stage of the disease may easily progress to end-stage renal failure in many cases. The individuals might have to undergo either kidney transplantation or dialysis in order to survive.

  • Increase in serum creatinine
  • Urea accumulation
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • CKD and atherosclerosis

Diabetic kidney disease or Diabetic nephropathy is a disease condition in almost 25% of the total people with diabetes. Diabetic nephropathy is seen in both Type 1 & Type 2 diabetes in general. Over the course of few years, the condition worsens and damages the glomerulus slowly. Early diagnosis may help in the treatment of the disease to slow down the progress of the disease without any complications. However, in late diagnosis, the treatment options for the condition is very few.

  • Uncontrolled high blood pressure
  • Genetic inheritance of diabetes
  • Effects of tobacco
  • Albuminuria

Kidney inflammation or nephritis is a condition caused by an auto-immune response. The primary cause involves infections, toxins and many other autoimmune disorders in the body. Nephritis can be classified as Glomerulonephritis, Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis(MPGN), IgA nephropathy, Pyelonephritis, Lupus nephritis, Wegener’s granulomatosis. These above-seen diseases are the major inflammatory diseases occurring in kidneys.

  • Interstitial nephritis
  • Nephritis in children
  • Kidney inflammation diet
  • Suppression of IgA

When chronic kidney disease reaches a fairly advanced stage its results in end-stage kidney disease or end-stage renal disease. At this stage, the kidneys will no longer be able to function normally to meet the daily needs. The function drops below a staggering 10% from its normal ability. Either kidney transplant or dialysis may help in prolonging the life of an individual

  • Peritoneal Dialysis
  • Kidney Transplant
  • Effects of NSAIDs
  • Tubulointerstitial fibrosis

Polycystic kidney disease is characterized by the formation of a cluster of cysts, these cysts are initially formed inside the kidney. Over the course of time, the kidneys enlarge and eventually lose their function. The larger the size of the cysts, the greater is the degree of risk. Cysts can also develop in any part of the body. Advanced stages of PKD results in kidney failure and high BP.

  • Autosomal dominant & recessive PKD
  • Inheritance of gene
  • PKD and brain aneurysm
  • Urinary tract infection

The early onset of kidney disorder in children can be due to various factors such as birth defects, nephrotic syndrome, trauma, blockages in the urinary system. Hereditary diseases are also a key factor that leads to kidney failure in infants. Systemic diseases & nephrotic syndrome causes kidney failure in children between 5-14 years of age. When the conditions get undetected they pose a greater risk to the adolescents, since they are at a very young age they might not be aware of the anatomical changes that are happening in their bodies.

  • Hereditary gene expression at a very young age
  • Decrease in Glomerular Filtration Rate(GFR)
  • Glomerular disease
  • Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Chronic kidney disease affects almost 10% of the total world population, causing the mortality of more than a million each year due to the lack of proper medical assistance. Kidney diseases ranked 27th in the year 1990 was ranked 18th in the year 2010 for the cause of the increase in deaths. The number of individuals to receive dialysis or a kidney transplant to stay alive reached over 2 million. On a financial note, individuals from developing countries have to bear a huge financial burden to provide themselves with proper treatment for the disease.

  • Prevention of the disease
  • Malnutrition and lack of healthcare services
  • Urbanization and the rise of kidney disease
  • Hygiene and sustainable industrialization

kidney transplant is done surgically to replace a non-functioning kidney with a healthy kidney from a living person or a deceased donor. The transplant can be done as a result of end-stage kidney disease. Instead of a lifetime on dialysis, transplant surgery is a very effective choice for the treatment. A transplant can make the quality of life better. The risks of having a transplant include allergy to anaesthesia, infections in the operated region, rejection reaction, an attack, or sometimes even a stroke.

  • Graft Vs Host (GVH) rejection reaction
  • Immunosuppression for a longer duration
  • HLA tissue typing
  • Kidney function test

Childbirth with the period of 37 gestational weeks can cause interruption and delay in the development of the kidneys. Fetal nephrogenesis is most active in the third trimester of pregnancy, in that stage formation of the nephron exceeds over 60%. Any interruption at this stage of development can cause lower nephron endowment which can stay as a lifelong threat. Hypertension and progressive kidney disease are associated with the low nephron number. These factors have been associated with the subsequent risk of developing CKD.

  • Early development of CKD
  • Neonatal acute kidney injury
  • Nephrogenesis
  • Regulation of nephrogenesis

Hemodialysis is the alternative method for filtering the blood in cases where the function of the kidney is not proper. In kidney failure cases this procedure helps the individual by removing the excretory waste & toxic products from the blood. They not only serve as life support in case of chronic illness but also as a cure in case of severe injuries or diseases. Various techniques include intermittent hemodialysiscontinuous hemofiltration & peritoneal dialysis.

  • Endocrine abnormalities
  • A Concentration gradient of the fluids
  • Hemoperfusion toxin removal
  • Direct arteriovenous or venovenous circuit

Scientific studies and various research programs are being conducted throughout the globe. Rejuvenation of renal cells is the new advanced treatment process that has the potency to reverse chronic kidney disease. By sharing the profound knowledge on renal diseases, we can bring about change in the ways of treatment of kidney diseaseStem cell therapy can be focussed on re-stabilize and improve renal function in individuals with potential chronic illness.

  • Molecular mechanisms of the disease
  • Medical devices for diagnosis
  • Clinical trials on patients
  • Small molecule for drug discovery

The most common type of cancer occurring in most adults is renal cell carcinoma. Cancer starts developing at a very young age which is why children are more likely to develop Wilms tumour which is a type of kidney cancer. The rate at which the incidence of kidney cancer seems to be rising. The potential factor must be the innovation in medical imaging techniques such as computerized tomography(CT) to deliver reliable information.

  • Hypernephroma
  • Obesity and RCC
  • Effects of NSAIDs
  • Cancer therapies

Due to the increase in morbidity and mortality caused by various kidney diseases, there is a need for novel biomarkers in the diagnosis of the disease. Several new biomarkers have been used as a result of advancements in molecular biology. The facilitation of early diagnosis, the need to guide interventions and monitoring of disease progression shall play a vital role in the disease treatment. The development of specific, sensitive and reliable biomarkers can be very useful for effective therapies.

  • Diagnosis of AKI & CKD
  • Urine and serum creatine analysis
  • ELISA test
  • Identification and quantification
