PKD is an inherited disorder in which clusters of cysts develop in the kidneys. The cysts in polycystic kidney disease are noncancerous sacs containing water-like fluid. They can grow very large. Many people with this condition have kidney failure by age 60. Treatments include medication to control blood pressure, pain relievers, and cyst removal. Sometimes a kidney transplant might be needed.

Inflammation of the kidney due to a bacterial infection. Kidney infection occurs when the bacteria is usually a type called E. coli, which live in your bowel. The bacteria get in through the opening of the urethra and move upwards through your urinary tract, first infecting your bladder and then your kidneys. Treatment includes antibiotics and often requires hospitalization.

Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and acid salts that stick together in concentrated urine. The cause for kidney stones is that your urine may lack substances that prevent crystals from sticking together, creating an ideal environment for kidney stones to form. The treatment for this includes pain relievers and drinking lots of water to help pass the stone.

Glomerulonephritis know as glomeruli is a cluster of capillaries around the end of a kidney tubule, where waste products are filtered from the blood. It may be the direct result of an infection or a drug toxic to the kidneys, or it may result from a disease that affects the entire body, like diabetes or lupus. Many different kinds of diseases can cause swelling or scarring of the nephron or glomerulus. Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis is sometimes treated with plasmapheresis, which removes components of the blood that could be causing the inflammation.

When your kidneys release angiotensin, your blood converts this into two different forms: first, angiotensin I, then angiotensin II. Angiotensin II then signals the blood vessels to constrict. This signals the heart to work harder to pump blood through the body.

Anything that is removed from the blood by the kidneys is added to urine. Urine flows from the kidney, down the ureter, and ends up in the bladder. From there urine can be released out of the urethra.

The renal arteries pass blood into the kidneys, and the renal veins bring blood back out of the kidneys.

One way that kidneys help maintain homeostasis is by the kidneys regulating the homeostasis of substances such as water, salt, and wastes in the bloodstream. They do this by filtering the blood as it circulates throughout the body.
