C1q nephropathy is a rare kidney disease. It affects the filters of the kidney called glomeruli. In this disease, the body’s immune system leaves a protein called C1q in the mesangium (the support ...

Bladder exstrophy–epispadias–cloacal exstrophy complex (BEEC) is a group (a spectrum) of rare birth defects that affect the front wall of the belly and the lower urinary and genital organs. In BEEC, ...
Bladder exstrophy is a rare birth defect. It happens when a baby’s lower tummy wall and the front wall of the bladder do not close before birth. Because of this, the bladder is open on the outside of ...
Polyomavirus-associated nephropathy is kidney damage caused by reactivation of a common virus (usually BK polyomavirus) in people who receive a kidney transplant. Most adults were infected in ...
BK-virus nephropathy is kidney damage caused by the BK polyomavirus. Most people catch BK virus in childhood and the virus then “sleeps” silently in the urinary tract. It usually causes no problems. ...
Multicystic renal dysplasia (MCDK) is a birth condition where one kidney (rarely both) does not form in the normal way during pregnancy. Instead of having normal kidney tissue that filters blood and ...
Bilateral multicystic renal dysplasia means both kidneys did not form in the usual way while the baby was in the womb. The normal sponge-like kidney tissue is replaced by many fluid-filled sacs ...
Bilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney (bilateral MCDK) means both kidneys did not form normal working tissue before birth. Instead of healthy kidney tissue, many fluid-filled sacs (cysts) and ...
Infantile Bartter syndrome with sensorineural deafness is a rare, inherited kidney salt-wasting disorder that starts before birth. Babies lose too much salt and water through the kidneys, which ...
Bartter syndrome with sensorineural hearing loss (type IV) is a rare, inherited kidney salt-wasting disorder that begins before or soon after birth. The kidneys cannot properly reabsorb salt (sodium ...
Bartter syndrome with sensorineural deafness is a rare, inherited kidney salt-wasting disorder that also causes permanent hearing loss. The kidney problem comes from a defect in salt transport in a ...
Bartter syndrome type 4 is a rare, inherited kidney tubule disorder. The kidney cannot reabsorb enough salt in a specific segment of the nephron (the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle). ...
Renal Tubular Normotensive Hypokalemic Alkalosis with Hypercalciuria is a salt-wasting kidney tubule disorder. The kidney’s thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle fails to reabsorb enough salt ...
Bartter syndrome with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis is a rare, inherited kidney salt-wasting disorder. The problem lives in the “thick ascending limb” of the loop of Henle, a segment of the ...
