Renal Dysfunction

Renal Dysfunction
Renal Dysfunction 5/5 (100%) 5 votes

Most of the patients who get affected by Renal Dysfunction are not able to recover and die in early stages of life. There is no such treatment available to heal the damaged kidneys. As we know, kidney works as a disinfectant for the body it filters the blood and removes all the toxic chemicals from the body through urine. Now can you imagine, what will happen if it stop working? All the toxic will not be able to get removed from the body and they will circulate in the body which will damage the other organs of the body too. The Renal Dysfunction can be of two types the first one is acute kidney failure and second is chronic kidney failure ; the causes are different for both but the symptoms are same.

Renal Dysfunction Symptoms
Many people who are suffering from Renal Dysfunction can not see any symptoms, which are serious in nature in the initial stages of the disease, these symptoms are aggravated in the advanced stages of the disease, so me of these symptoms are:

Renal Acidosis ( Renal Tubular Acidosis )

Essential Information about renal tubular acidosis
Renal tubular acidosis is a condition or a disease in which kidney became incapable to take out acid out of the blood and put the acid in the urine that makes the urine acidic in nature. Renal acidosis is a syndrome that causes hypercloremia, hypokalemia, metabolic acidosis and nephrocalcinosis. This disease results when kidney became incapable to save bicarbonate and this disorder is classified as proximal or distal.

Distal Renal Acidosis
It occurs in two different stages
1- Primary renal tubular acidosis
This is common among women, older children, young adults and adolescents. This disease may be the result of any hereditary defect
2- Secondary renal tubular acidosis
This has been related to many renal conditions like hepatic cirrhosis, malnutrition and starvation.

Proximal Renal Acidosis
It also occurs in two forms and it is a result of disorder that is Fanconi’s syndrome
1-Primary proximal renal tubular acidosis
The only disorder present in it is idiopathic that is a reabsorbtive defect
2-Secondary proximal renal tubular acidosis
This occurs when the proximal tubular cell is damaged.

Renal Infection 5/5 (100%) 2 votes

Renal Infection is an infection of kidney which is caused by a bacteria known as e-coli, this bacteria enters the body with the blood, once infected by this bacteria the conditions of high fever along with the back pain occurs, the bladder too gets infected by this bacteria. This infection is really fatal and can cause inflammation and pain in the kidneys and can destroy the cells of the kidney. If the cells of the kidney are seriously damaged then it stops working and result in a renal failure situation where the only option is left of dialysis or replacement of the kidney.

Stages of Renal Infection
1. The first condition of Renal Infection is Acute Pyelonephritis, if the infection is detected in this primary stage then the treatment is really easy and can be done with the help of some antibiotic medicines and some herbal remedies for this stage of infection are available to and are pretty successful in resolving this condition.
2. The second and the serious type of infection is Chronic Pyelonephritis, this type of infection is called an active infection and it spreads quickly to an uncontrollable level and it causes serious damage to the whole urinary system.
3. The third infection is called Emphysematous Pyelonephritis, this type of infection is commonly found in the patients of diabetes, in this particular infection gas molecules are found in the kidneys and the adjacent areas which is not good for the working of kidneys.
4. The fourth type of infection is Pyonephorosis; this is a infection in which the ureters are blocked as a result of this the urine is unable to go to the bladder from kidneys, in such case the flow of urine is disturbed and the whole urinary system becomes infected and it leads to serious health problems.
5. The fifth type of infection is known as Renal Abscesses ; in this stage of Renal Infection the pus chunks can be found near the kidney in this sort of infection the kidney can shut its functions down and cause a complete renal failure. This is a very serious situation a patient may even die because of kidney failure.

Renal Cell Cancer ( Renal Cell Carcinoma ) is a type of cancer that occurs in the renal tubules that perform the important function of filtering the blood and producing urine. It is a type of kidney cancer that generally occur in adults. This disease happens between the age of 50 – 70. The risk of kidney cancer maximizes in some of the conditions like- if there is any family history of the disease, high blood pressure, horseshoe kidney, polycystic kidney, smoking, von Hipple-Lindau disease.

Symptoms of renal cell cancer
a) People will constantly suffer from abdominal pain, a pain that occurs anywhere between your chest and groin.
b) Swelling in body parts.
c) Pain in your back remain constantly
d) You will find blood in the process of urination.
e) Swelling of the veins around a testicle
f) Pain in one side of the body between the upper abdomen and back, this pain is called flank pain.
g) Involuntary weight loss
h) Hard stools or difficulty in passing stools.
i) Excessive growth of hairs in females
j) Pale skin
k) There occurs problem in vision, which means you will suffer from different types of eye problems and vision disturbances.

Renal Toxicity

Renal Toxicity
Renal Toxicity 5/5 (100%) 5 votes

Renal toxicity is one of the most common diseases that is caused when body is so much exposed to drugs that are harmful for the kidney and they may cause damage to it. As kidney is a vital part of the body, it takes out excess waste material and urine out of your body. When there occurs a situation in which due to the presence of these harmful toxics, kidney damages then it became unable to perform this important function because the body electrolytes present in the body like magnesium and potassium will be elevated.

When a kidney gets exposure to the halogenated hydrocarbons like carbon tetra chloride, trichloroethylene and the heavy metals like lead and cadmium then toxic injury is caused. There are various types of toxic that tend to the renal failure by causing chronic injury and they may also cause renal impairment conditions and acute kidney failure. In addition, if there occurs exposure of chemical substances then that may cause bad effects to the urethra, urinary bladder or kidney that is called renal toxicity. Nephrotoxicity is another name for renal toxicity .

Renal Stent is a device that is used for the treatment of kidney. This is a small tube, which is used to facilitate the flow from one region of the body to another one. This tube is made up of flexible plastic material and in the emergency time or if there is any problem regarding kidney it is placed inside the ureter. These tubes are flexible so it can move according the body movement. These renal stent varies from patient to patient.

Kidney performs extensive function in our body, it is very necessary that kidney must perform its functions properly. Kidney plays a very important role in our body because it perform many functions such as –

Renal Infarction

Renal Infarction 5/5 (100%) 7 votes

Renal Infarction refers to the kidney illness medical condition, which means the death of an area of tissue due to lack of oxygen. When any parts of kidney not get proper amount of oxygen that result, destroys the tissue in the kidney. This can become severe if the large portion of kidney is not getting proper amount of oxygen, large area is affected badly, and all tissues of kidney are dead. When the level of oxygen gets low in the renal arteries then the tissue are damages and leads to the development of renal infarction. Some common symptom of possible renal infarction condition : –

These above symptoms help the person to know about this renal medical condition and can contact the doctor immediately. This disease can affect the break down the functioning of kidney because when tissue dies then the kidney stop its proper working and that leads to the infraction of kidney. Why this happens there are some most important causes of renal infarction which are given beneath :-

  • Arteries Blockage
  • Blood Clots
  • Arteriosclerosis and Fibrodisplasia

Renal Parenchymal Disease
Renal means something which is related to kidney, renal parenchyma is the functional tissue of kidney that consists of nephrons. These tissues are very important tissues for the organ for the proper functioning of kidney. Nowadays many people are suffering from renal parenchymal disease, when the cells (nephrons) of kidney damages due to unavoidable circumstances. Renal parenchyma plays a vital role in our kidney because with the help of these cells our kidney works properly, if these cells get damage then it will create many diseases regarding kidney. Kidney is the most essential organ of our body, which plays several important functions in our body such as :–

  • Balance the amount of chemicals present in our body
  • It releases hormones
  • It controls our blood pressure
  • It removes wastes from our body
  • Purifies the blood
  • Produce vitamin D

Renal Failure Diagnosis

Renal Failure Diagnosis 5/5 (100%) 8 votes

Renal failure is a very dangerous disease if not diagnosed in time.
Renal failure is also called renal inefficiency this is a medical condition which occurs when kidney fail to filter waste products and toxics out of the blood. Two forms of kidney injury are acute kidney failure and chronic kidney failure. These diseases are not recognized easily so Renal failure diagnosis is very necessary to cure this disease.

In acute kidney disease, there occurs rapidly progressive loss of renal functions. It is generally categorized by electrolyte imbalance, oliguria and fluid. There are many causes result in acute kidney failure. Whatever the cause is, it should identify as fast as possible and renal treatment should be started to stop the progress of the disease. Dialysis is also necessary. Chronic kidney disease develops slowly and it shows some symptoms that are not enough to conclude that a person is having chronic kidney disease. There occurs a condition when acute kidney injuries come in the top of chronic kidney disease that is called Acute-on-Chronic renal failure .

Renal Impairment

Renal Impairment
Renal failure or sometimes it is also referred to as the kidney failure. It describes that during this the kidney does not function in a proper manner, as it used to work before. The basic function is disturbed i.e. the filtration of the toxins as well as the waste products from the blood in the body.
There are basically two forms of this Renal failure:

 

Acute kidney Disease : in this there is a rapid loss of renal function which would result in the reduction of the urine. Along with that there is a reduction of the body fluids in the body along with that electrolyte imbalance is also seen. Thus if not cured on time then this may lead to some serious issues and even may be fatal.
Chronic kidney disease : this type of disease is been generated slowly and with a less fast phase. Therefore the symptoms are also seen in a delayed form. Thus the treatment will also be started in a much slower version.

  • 1. Remove wastes and water from the body
  • 2. It helps to balance chemical present in the body
  • 3. It releases hormones
  • 4. It helps to control blood pressure
  • 5. It helps in the production of red blood cells
  • 6. To keep bones strong it also produces vitamin D
  • 7. Hormones secretion
  • 8. Osmolality regulation

Renal Cell Carcinoma – Kidney Cancer
Renal pelvis is the proximal part of the ureter in the kidney. Kidneys are the most important organ of our body, which removes the wastes from our body, the waste material become urine and it is drain into the renal pelvis, it collects the urine until and unless it is passed on to the urinary bladder. It looks like a funnel; it stores urine from the thousands of nephrons present in kidney. This is a muscular cavity situated in the centre of kidney, sometimes it becomes enlarges; in this state it is called an extra – renal pelvis.

Renal Calculi

Renal calculi can develop in any part of urinary tract but mostly found in renal pelvis or in calyces. Renal calculi are also known as kidney stones, these are solid crystals aggregation formed in the kidneys from the dietary minerals present in the urine. These stones are mainly located in the kidney, ureter, and bladder. Size of the calculi differs and they can be one or more than one. Renal calculi develops when there is amount of urine is less and stone forming components are more, anyone can suffer from this men and women and even in children also but it is rare in them.

If the person is suffering from this disease may have these symptoms like – fever, chills, abnormal urine color, flank pain, nausea, vomiting, urinary frequency, blood in the urine, painful urination, colicky, urinary hesitancy, abdominal pain, groin pain etc. these calculi can failure the renal system, which will affect our body badly and due to which many problems cab arise.

Chronic Renal Failure

Chronic renal failure is the progressive and gradual loss of the ability of kidney to perform its functions normally. This condition occurs when there is a loss of nephrons of the kidney. Kidney completely depends of nephrons because it is the basic functioning unit of kidney. There are near about one million nephrons present in each kidney. As we know that, the main function of the kidney is to clean the waste products formed in the body and various toxics from the blood and concentrate the urine. So if a person suffered from chronic renal failure then kidney is no longer be able to perform these tasks

Symptoms of chronic renal failure
When the function of renal fall below thirty milliliters per minute, which is about 30 % of the normal value. This can be check by measuring the renal function and it is measured as the glomerular filtration rate. When this rate shows kidney functioning below 30 milliliters per minute, different signs of urea start coming in view all that shows that person is suffering from this disease. Uremic symptoms can also lead to affect any organ system present in the body.
