Rare Kidney Diseases

Rare kidney diseases refer to kidney diseases with a low incidence, unknown etiology, slow disease progression, and poor patient response to treatment. Rare kidney diseases include hereditary glomerular diseases and immune-mediated glomerular diseases. Hereditary glomerular diseases are caused by mutations in important genes that regulate glomerular development and function. Immune-mediated glomerular diseases are inflammatory diseases affecting the glomerulus.
