  There are several different types of kidney disease. These include inflammation of the filtering parts of the kidney (called glomerulonephritis), polycystic kidney disease, an inherited genetic disorder where the kidney tissues become replaced by cysts, and scarring of the kidney tissues caused by backflow of the urine from the bladder (called reflux nephropathy), which is caused by structural defects.
  Diabetic kidney disease which damages the kidneys’ filtering membranes, and kidney disease due to high blood pressure are other forms of kidney disease. You can find more information on these diseases on the HealthInsite Diseases Which Affect the Kidneys topic page.

  What is a kidney infection?
  
  The main components of the urinary tract are kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Any part of the urinary system may become infected and this is generally referred to as urinary tract infection (UTI).
  
  Lower urinary tract infection involves the urethra, the bladder, and, in men, the prostate gland.
  Upper urinary tract infection refers to infection of the kidneys.
  Infection of the kidneys is also known as pyelonephritis.
