Nephropathy, often known as renal disease or kidney damage, is the medical term for kidney disease. There are several forms of nephritis, an inflammatory kidney disease, depending on where the inflammation is present. Blood tests can be used to identify inflammation. Nephrosis is a kidney condition without inflammation. Nephrotic syndrome and nephritic syndrome are conditions that can result from nephrosis and nephritis, respectively. Kidney disease often results in a partial loss of renal function and can lead to kidney failure, which is the total loss of kidney function. The final stage of kidney disease, kidney failure, can only be treated with dialysis or a kidney transplant. Chronic kidney disease is characterised by persistent, structurally or functionally abnormal kidney conditions that persist for more than three years.
