What are the causes and symptoms of kidney disease?
by MedExpert on November 6th, 2007 Causes of kidney disease are many and varied. Leading causes are diabetes, high blood pressure, inherited disease, and infection. Acute kidney disease is often marked by a lack of urination and increased fluid build up in the body. Chronic kidney disease is often called a “silent” killer, because no obvious symptoms develop until the kidneys are permanently damaged. The National Kidney Foundation estimated in 2005 that 20 million Americans had undetected moderate chronic kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease most often results from other diseases such as diabetes or hypertension. Source: The Gale Group.
