Typically, Alport Syndrome affects young men. This genetic disease causes damage to the blood vessels in the kidneys, as well as hearing loss. Although once considered untreatable, early detection and medication can help to slow down the process of kidney failure.

Kidney Disease occurs when the kidneys become damaged and are unable to filter out waste like they should. This then causes a buildup of waste in the kidneys which can lead to further complications. It can be treated with medication if detected early enough. However, if not, it can lead to kidney failure and dialysis, which filters the blood in the pace of the kidneys.

This syndrome occurs when glomeruli are damaged. Protein is then able to leak into the urine and edema. It is also known by Minimal Change Disease. Medicine and a diet with adequate protein and low levels of salt can help treat this disease.

Kidney Stones are a solid buildup of minerals that are found in the urine. However, the stone is sometimes able to pass through.If the stone is large enough, it can cause urine blockage and damage. The stone can also cause scarring if it is particularly rough. Drinking large amounts of water can help flush out small stones. If they are larger, they might require extensive treatment like surgery or sound waves to break the stones (ESWL)

Depending on fluid levels, the kidneys will either speed up or slow down the pace at which they're filtering. If the body needs more fluids, the kidneys use more fluids and urination won't be as frequent. If the body has too many fluids, the filtration will increase and urination will become more frequent. The levels are maintained so that there is enough fluid for cell function.

Juxtaglomerular cells monitor blood pressure as blood is filtered through. If the blood pressure is too low, then the kidneys will releases renin, a hormone that raises blood pressure.
