Diabetic nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy is kidney damage caused by diabetes, primarily characterized by proteinuria. Diabetic nephropathy is common in patients with type 1 diabetes and in patients with type 2 diabetes who have had the disease for more than 10 years.
View detailsIgA nephropathy
IgA nephropathy is a primary glomerular disease characterized by IgA (immunoglobulin A) deposition or predominant IgA deposition in the mesangial area of the glomeruli on renal biopsy, leading to a series of manifestations in patients. It is currently the most common primary glomerular disease worldwide and a significant cause of end-stage renal disease. It can occur at any age but is more common in males aged 20-30 years. The main symptoms of this disease are recurrent episodes of gross hematuria after infection, or microscopic hematuria observable under a microscope. Sometimes, it may be accompanied by varying degrees of foamy urine (proteinuria), and some patients may also experience severe hypertension or renal insufficiency.
View detailsKidney failure
Kidney failure is a syndrome caused by impaired kidney function due to various reasons, leading to the continuous accumulation of metabolic waste in the body and a series of clinical symptoms. The main symptoms include nausea, loss of appetite, decreased urine output, edema, fatigue, and anemia.
Nephrotic syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome is a clinical syndrome characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia. It can affect people of all ages, from children to the elderly. High-risk groups include those with weakened immune systems, those who use medications improperly, and those with "three highs" (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia) and obesity.

View detailsNephritis
The kidneys are the most important organs in the urinary system, and the glomeruli and renal tubules are their two most crucial structures. When kidney tissue develops an inflammatory response due to various etiologies, it leads to structural and functional damage, triggering different types of nephritis and causing abnormalities in the body's metabolic processes. If nephritis persists for a long time, it can progress to chronic renal failure. Common types of nephritis include: Glomerulonephritis: including acute glomerulonephritis, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, and chronic glomerulonephritis. Interstitial nephritis: including acute interstitial nephritis and chronic interstitial nephritis. Lupus nephritis IgA nephropathy

The pulmonary interstitium refers to the lung tissue excluding the lung parenchyma (alveoli and bronchi). It includes connective tissue, lymphatic vessels, nerve fibers, and blood vessels. These tissues are distributed among all parenchymal structures, providing connection, filling, fixation, and nourishment. Interstitial lung disease is a group of lung diseases primarily affecting the pulmonary interstitium and alveolar spaces, characterized by progressive inflammation and fibrosis. The most common symptom of interstitial lung disease is shortness of breath, which can worsen over time.
View detailsCommon cold
The common cold typically refers to an upper respiratory tract infection (involving the nose, pharynx, and larynx) caused by a viral infection. This disease has a high incidence, with adults experiencing colds approximately 2-6 times per year, and children as many as 6-8 times. It often occurs during seasonal transitions and in winter and spring. Key symptoms include nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, low-grade fever, cough, and headache.
View detailsBronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis refers to the irreversible and abnormal dilation of the bronchi due to damage to the bronchial walls caused by various factors. This condition is common in individuals over 40 years old, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), those with recurrent lung infections during childhood, and individuals with genetic mutations. Key symptoms include chronic cough, production of large amounts of purulent sputum, and recurrent hemoptysis.
