What is Chronic Kidney Disease? Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a health situation in which the kidneys fail to carry out their basic daily functions. Being a vital organ if it ceases to function smoothly the individual can have a severe health crisis with an increase in blood pressure, neural problems, anaemia, etc. In these cases, the nephrons present in the kidneys begin to get damaged and after a certain point of time, they fail to filter the blood optimally. This leads to kidney failure. If ignored or left untreated it can be life-threatening. CAUSES OF CKD Diabetes and hypertension (high blood pressure) are the predominant health issues resulting in CKD in 75% of cases. The other leading factors include glomerulonephritis (inflammation of the kidney) and pyelonephritis (infection in the kidney). CKD can also be inherited which involves problems like polycystic kidney disease, lupus, kidney stones and enlarged prostate. Regular intake of analgesics (pain killers) can also cause CK...

  TYPES OF KIDNEY CANCER Renal Cell Carcinoma: The most common type of  kidney cancer  is Renal cell Carcinoma. In this type of cancer, the tumour usually grows in one kidney. It is a very fast-growing cancer that spreads to the surrounding organs rapidly. Cancer develops in Renal tubes and later gets spread. Patients may not be able to diagnose this cancer in its early stage as it is symptom-free at first. However, later on, the patient might lose his appetite, lose extreme weight, and feel other changes in their body. Nephroblastoma: Another type of cancer that is most common in children is Wilms tumour which is also known as nephroblastoma. It often occurs in children ages 3 to 4 and becomes less common after the age of 5. The treatment used for children is very much different from that of an adult. This type of cancer is treated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Though the causes of kidney cancer aren’t clear yet. Still, it is said that heredity plays a role in...

Kidneys are bean-shaped organs that purify blood in the human body. Any dysfunctioning in the kidneys disrupts the functioning of the entire body. Kidney Cancer, also called renal cancer occurs when cells in the kidney mutate. This unwanted and uncontrollable mutation leads to cell growth that eventually forms a tumour or damaged tissues. Most of the time it is curable if detected at an early stage when the cancer is underdeveloped. If cancer spreads beyond kidneys then it becomes difficult to treat and is challenging for the doctor to cure the patients. With the blessing of advanced medical research and development, technology has now made it possible to cure kidney cancer even if it is detected at an advanced stage. Renal Cell Carcinoma: The most common type of  kidney cancer  is Renal cell Carcinoma. In this type of cancer, the tumour usually grows in one kidney.
