Nephropathy

Nephropathy refers to any disease or damage that affects the functioning of the kidneys. It encompasses various conditions that impair kidney function and can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. At Family Care Health Center, we specialize in diagnosing, treating, and managing nephropathy to promote kidney health and overall well-being.

Types of Nephropathy: Nephropathy can arise from different causes, each requiring specific approaches to treatment:

Diabetic Nephropathy: Resulting from long-term diabetes mellitus, causing damage to the kidney’s blood vessels.
Hypertensive Nephropathy: Caused by chronic high blood pressure, leading to kidney damage over time.
Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of the kidney’s filtering units (glomeruli), affecting their ability to filter waste.
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD): Inherited disorder characterized by fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys, leading to kidney enlargement and dysfunction.
Interstitial Nephritis: Inflammation of the kidney’s tubules and surrounding structures due to infections, medications, or autoimmune disorders.
