List of Genetic Diseases And Disorder

What is genetic diseases?

Genetic diseases are also called heridatory diseases. Genetic Diseases are caused by abnormalities in genes or chromosomes.These diseases are transfer from parents to child. The alteration can either be a mutation to a single gene or the absence or presence of an entire chromosome. The effects of these differences can result in a myriad of syndromes, diseases and deficiencies. Unfortunately we do not know how to stop genetic disorders before giving birth to a child.

Name of kidney disease	Description
Hepatitis	A virus infection that affects the liver.
Cystitis	Due to the infection of the urine in the bladder
Edema	It is also called Oedema
ESRD or ESRF	End Stage Renal Disease or End Stage Renal Failure - kidney failure
Fabry disease	It is inherited disease that can cause kidney disease and many other things.
Acidosis	When kidney Get rid of enough acid, or losing excessive bicarbonate in the urine, is accumulation of acid in the blood is called acidosis.
Acute renal failure (ARF)	suddenly the kidneys stop working, or over a period of days to weeks. Usually it is hoped that they can be started up again, but that depends on the cause.
