Kidney disease is a term used to describe any abnormality of the kidneys. There are multiple kidney diseases in which one or both kidneys get affected.

They can be polycystic kidney disease in which abnormal cysts are formed within kidneys or nephrotic syndrome in which there is leakage of protein from blood to urine.
