Acute Kidney Injury Overview

Sudden decline in kidney function, causing waste buildup in the blood and fluid/electrolyte imbalance.

AKI caused by reduced blood flow to the kidneys, often due to low blood volume or severe dehydration.

AKI due to direct damage within the kidney itself; often from inflammation or obstructed blood vessels within the kidney.

AKI caused by an obstruction in the urinary system after the kidney, preventing urine flow.

The most common cause of intrinsic AKI; damage to the kidney's tubules, usually from lack of blood flow or toxins.

Kidney disorder causing protein loss in the urine leading to fluid buildup and other complications.

Kidney disorder causing inflammation of the glomeruli, blood in urine.

Infection of the kidney and renal pelvis, usually from a bladder infection spreading upward.

Inherited disorder marked by fluid-filled cysts on the kidneys, often leading to kidney damage.

Noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, commonly affecting older men and causing urinary problems.

Twisting of the spermatic cord, cutting off blood supply to the testicle, a urologic emergency.

Infection of the epididymis, often from a urinary tract infection spreading upward.

Inability to retract the foreskin of the penis due to a tight preputial opening.

Condition where foreskin is pulled back too tightly and can't return to normal position.

Most common childhood kidney cancer, appearing as a large, potentially growing mass in the abdomen.

Bedwetting during sleep in children of an appropriate age after a period of expected dryness.

Inflammation of the glomeruli, the filtering units of the kidneys, usually related to an immune response.

Inflammation of the prostate gland, often due to bacterial infection, presenting with urinary symptoms, pain.

Connective tissue disorder causing hard lumps in the penis, often leading to curvature and pain during erection.

Most common type of kidney cancer in adults, often originating in the kidney's cortex, which can sometimes spread to other regions of the body.

Disorders affecting the glomeruli of the kidneys, including both primary & secondary conditions, and contributing to kidney failure.

Backflow of urine from the bladder into the ureters, a serious condition often leading to kidney infections.

Blocking of urine flow anywhere in the urinary tract, causing swelling in the kidneys, infections, and potentially permanent damage.

Kidney stones, solid masses formed from urine minerals and salts, potentially causing blockages and pain.

Cancer that develops within the breast tissue of women.

Common benign breast condition involving cysts and fibrosis, often causing tenderness or pain, especially linked to hormones.

Infection spread through sexual contact, with many types presenting varying symptoms or being asymptomatic.

Abnormal uterine bleeding not caused by a specific disease, due to hormone imbalances, often linked to ovulation issues.

Condition where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, potentially causing pain, irregular periods, infertility.

Noncancerous tumors in the uterine wall

Cancer affecting the cervix, often due to persistent HPV infections.

Rare condition where the vagina is divided by a wall. It can result from developmental issues in early fetal life.

Painful menstrual periods, having varying causes.

Hormonal disorder affecting ovulation and related to insulin resistance, often in women of reproductive age, characterized by cysts on the ovaries.

Infection of organs in the female reproductive system, often starting in the cervix and spreading, potentially leading to infertility.

Sudden kidney function decrease, causing waste buildup and fluid imbalance.

AKI due to reduced blood flow to the kidneys.

Kidney damage directly within the kidney.

AKI caused by blockage after the kidney.

Tubule damage in the kidney, common AKI cause.

Kidney disorder causing protein loss & fluid buildup.

Kidney inflammation, blood in urine.

Kidney infection, often from bladder infection.

Inherited cysts on the kidneys.

Non-cancerous prostate enlargement.

Twisted testicle, cutting off blood flow.

Infection of the epididymis.

Tight foreskin, can't retract.

Foreskin pulled back too tight.

Childhood kidney cancer.

Bedwetting during sleep in children.

Inflammation of the glomeruli (kidney filters).

Prostate gland inflammation.

Penile plaques & curvature.

Kidney cancer, often in adults in the cortex

Kidney filter disorders, often leading to kidney failure.

Urine backflow to the ureters.

Blocked urine flow, kidney swelling, damage.

Kidney stones.

Cancer in the breast tissue.

Breast condition with cysts and tissue changes.

Infections spread through sexual contact.

Abnormal uterine bleeding, not caused by disease.

Endometrial tissue outside the uterus.

Noncancerous tumors in the uterine wall.

Cancer of the cervix.

Vagina divided by a wall.

Painful menstrual periods.

Hormonal disorder, often with cysts on the ovaries.

Infection of female reproductive organs.

Cancer of the lining of the uterus.

Bleeding between menstrual periods.

Deficient amount of menstrual flow.

Infrequent menstruation.

Increased frequency of menstruation.
