Polycystic kidney disease
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder affecting the kidneys, typically with a familial inheritance pattern. It can be inherited in an autosomal dominant or recessive manner, with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) being the most common form. Symptoms may include hypertension, back pain, and blood in the urine.
View detailsUrinary tract infection
The urinary system is responsible for producing and expelling urine, and includes the kidneys, bladder, and the ureters and urethra that connect them. When bacteria enter the urinary system, a urinary tract infection (UTI) can occur. UTIs are most common in sexually active young and middle-aged women because the female rectum is closer to the urethral opening, making it easier for bacteria from feces to cause infection. Additionally, the female urethra is shorter, allowing bacteria to reach the bladder more easily. Some women also experience recurrent UTIs. In both men and women, diabetes, urinary tract stones, and the insertion of a urinary catheter can increase the risk of UTIs.
View detailsUremia
Uremia is the end-stage of acute and chronic renal failure, generally referring to stage 5 chronic kidney disease. At this stage, the patient's kidneys can no longer function normally, leading to a large accumulation of metabolic end-products and toxic substances in the body, as well as severe disturbances in water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance, and certain endocrine dysfunctions. This results in a series of clinical manifestations such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and anorexia.

The main symptoms of tracheal tumors include irritating cough, sputum production, wheezing, chest tightness after activity, shortness of breath, and blood-tinged sputum.
View detailsPulmonary bulla
Pulmonary bulla, also known as lung bulla, refers to the formation of air-filled cysts larger than 1 cm in diameter within the lung tissue due to increased intra-alveolar pressure, rupture of alveolar walls, and subsequent fusion of ruptured alveoli caused by various factors. Generally, small, solitary pulmonary bullae are asymptomatic. Larger or multiple pulmonary bullae can cause symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, and dyspnea. Males, tall and thin adults, and long-term smokers are more prone to developing pulmonary bullae.
