Cystic Diseases
Obstructive Disorders
Kidney function during pregnancy dilation of the upper urinary tract increasing blood volume and cardiac output increase in the glomerular filtration rate Anatomical positioning mechanical obstruction high levels of progesterone decrease in the serum creatinine and BUN increase in the creatinine clearance Fluid retention electrolytes glucose urea

Toxic nephropathies
Autoimmune disorders extracellular tissue deposition of fibrils Amyloidosis Systemic Lupus Nephritis Scleroderma Good Pasteur's syndrome autoantibodies form or are deposited in the glomeruli, causing inflammation hardening connective tissue autoantibody that specifically targets the kidneys and the lungs
