The second category is hereditary kidney disease. It is caused by mutations and defects of genetic factors. The third is a large group of diseases related to immune disorders, such as acute glomerulonephritis, etc. The fourth category, infectious diseases, such as urinary tract infections, this should still be taken seriously in children. The fifth category, others such as stones, tumors, etc. The final development trend of different kidney diseases is different, but all of them may lead to kidney failure, and then the consequences are unimaginable.
