Auto Immune Disorders
Certain diseases are known to cause glomerulonephritis and damage the kidneys. Certain antibodies attack the kidneys and lungs, destroy kidney function and gradually lead to kidney failure. Autoimmune disease means that the human immune system produces antibodies that attack and destroy healthy organs, causing them to fail. For example, when autoantibodies are formed or deposited in the glomerulus, lupus nephritis occurs. Children with autoimmune kidney disease are usually sick and require intensive treatment for 3 to 6 months.
When a person's kidneys release a large amount of tasteless, diluted kidneys, the person can be diagnosed with diabetes insipidus.
