Description: NCI2016_NICHD_1602D:Disorders affecting the kidney, including inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions.|NCI2016_02D:A term referring to any disease affecting the kidneys.|NCI2016_02D:A neoplastic or non-neoplastic condition affecting the kidney. Representative examples of non-neoplastic conditions include glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome. Representative examples of neoplastic conditions include benign processes (e.g., renal lipoma and renal fibroma) and malignant processes (e.g., renal cell carcinoma and renal lymphoma).|MSH2017_2016_08_12:Pathological processes of the KIDNEY or its component tissues.|MEDLINEPLUS_20151021:Your kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fists. They are located near the middle of your back, just below the rib cage. Inside each kidney about a million tiny structures called nephrons filter blood. They remove waste products and extra water, which become urine. The urine flows through tubes called ureters to your bladder, which stores the urine until you go to the bathroom. Most kidney diseases attack the nephrons. This damage may leave kidneys unable to remove wastes. Causes can include genetic problems, injuries, or medicines. You are at greater risk for kidney disease if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a close family member with kidney disease. <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/chronickidneydisease.html'>Chronic kidney disease</a> damages the nephrons slowly over several years.
