Anatomy of the Kidneys and Urinary System
According to the National Kidney Foundation, kidney and urologic diseases affect more than 26 million people. More than 85,000 US adults die each year from kidney failure. The number of people affected by these diseases is expected to grow.
The most serious and debilitating of kidney and urinary tract diseases includes end-stage renal disease (ESRD); kidney stone disease; urinary incontinence; benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH); interstitial cystitis; urinary tract infection; and polycystic kidney disease.
Other diseases also have a tremendous impact on the disability and death associated with kidney and urologic diseases, including cancer, diabetes and hypertension.
