1. INTRODUCTION
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in renal failure patients. The morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease is high and the presence of chronic kidney disease worsens outcomes of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease often begins before end-stage renal disease and patients with reduced kidney function are more likely to die of cardiovascular disease than to develop end-stage renal disease. 40-50% of all deaths in the end-stage renal disease population are of cardiovascular origin [1]. The majority of deaths among patients with predialysis kidney disease were due to cardiovascular disease (Wannamethee SG et al., 1997). The cardiovascular mortality risk is substantially higher

Most patients with end-stage renal disease should have renal replacement therapy programme involving either peritoneal or hemodialysis. A unique feature of cardiovascular disease in patients with primary renal disease is that retarding or preventing progression of progressive renal disease will reduce cardiac risk. The second feature of specific importance in progressive renal disease is the role of volume dependent mechanisms involved in hypertension and heart failure. The most extreme example of this is seen in anuric patients on haemodialysis, who accumulate on average 2–3 litres of fluid between dialysis sessions. Hypertension in such patients is volume dependent, and high weight gains are also associated with the development of pulmonary oedema in susceptible individuals. Fluid retention increases progressively with deteriorating renal function and thus contributes to the development of heart failure and hypertension. The third unique feature is the nature of vascular disease in this population, which has led to scepticism about the adoption of treatments and treatment strategies proven in the general population. The characteristic feature of the vessels is calcification- to a large extent the result of hyperparathyroidism in renal disease in peripheral and coronary vessels (Allan J Collins et al., 2003). The extent to which atherosclerosis in such vessels differs from the general population and the efficacy of established treatments such as statins—remains uncertain and unproven. Finally the mode of death in advanced renal disease is atypical, classical myocardial infarction being relatively unusual and
Milton Larsen’s aging body will go through many physiologic changes, specifically the loss of elasticity in the connective tissue. Connective tissue affects many of the body organs through the normal aging process. In the case of Milton Larsen, he is diagnosed with hypertension and osteoarthritis, and both diseases can be associated with loss of elasticity in the connective tissue. Hypertension, termed the “silent killer” affects the cardiovascular system in many ways, with a notably, change in the arteries. The arteries loose elasticity causing a decrease
Human body and its health problems had been unknown for centuries until the evolution of the medical field in the late 1800s which lead to a rise in the average life expectancy from thirty six to a sweeping seventy eight. Then specialists started to identify the structure and the function of each organ. That’s when they found how important some organs as well as the human body cannot work properly without it. The kidney is one of those organs due to how fundamental it can
Dialysis is not only expensive, but also rough on patients and it is only a temporary solution. Essentially, since dialysis filters the blood through a machine, the patient is stuck living to that machine until there's an available organ. Due to the advances in medicine, kidney transplantation is the best option for the patient. Not only is it reliable, causing very few complications, it can help return the patient to their normal life. However, the lack of kidneys available for transplant caused 50,000 deaths worldwide.
1.Congestive Heart Failure also known as (heart failure) is a life threatening condition. Heart Failure is caused when someone has a weak heart. It usually happens when the bodies blood pump to the heart is not pumping blood to the heart correctly.
Christina Markevich 10/29/2015 Congestive Heart Failure What is Congestive Heart Failure? Congestive Heart Failure is something that occurs when the heart is no longer able to pump enough blood to the rest of the body, or when is just is not able to pump blood as well as it should. Some people happen to have either of these problems, some people have both.
Ms. Cabral’s primary patients have maintained 100% dialysis adequacy over the last year. She is also actively involved as a member of the unit’s
Module 9 Case Study Acute Renal Injury and Chronic Kidney Disease Will is a 68-year-old male with a history of hypertension. Eight months ago, he started regular dialysis therapy for ESRD. Before that, his physician was closely monitoring his condition because he had polyuria and nocturia. Soon it became difficult to manage his hypertension. He also lost his appetite, became weak, easily fatigued, and had edema around his ankles.

Summary In this lab our primary goal was to learn about the kidney and its filtration abilities as well as how the kidneys maintain blood composition by altering the urine composition. As well as to see the effects glucose, protein, salt, and water intake have on the urine composition and volume. To do this we will use multistix test strips to test the urine before the intake in fluids and then once again after the glucose, protein, salt, or water is consumed. The last objective is to understand the relationship between urine output and various conditions and diseases, this is done through the use of several multistix test strips and descriptions of several people's characteristics and their diseases.
Although the prevalence of polydipsia among ill patients remains uncertain, therefore, this study helps to find the answers. Event though, the radiology image are be attained from the gray scale, however, the diagnosis outcomes will show the best diagnosis. This is because; based what is written by (Maroz et al. 2012) a renal ultrasonography aid in visualization of complete resolution of the hydronephrosis. In addition to it, the degree of hydronephrosis can be determined by the performing physician's interpretation of the on image produce as well as measure the size of the kidney where it may aid diagnosing etiology. (Peterson & Terris 2015) 1.4 Research question 1. Is there any presence of correlation between polydipsia and hydronephrosis?
Introduction: Chronic periodontitis (CP), the commonest type of periodontal disease, it is an infectious disease resulting in inflammation within of the tissues supporting the teeth, progressive loss of attachment and bone loss. It is closely related to several systemic diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The link between periodontal disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be due to infection and inflammation. The periodontal inflammatory state may increases the chronic inflammation present in CKD, thus decreasing renal function. Periodontal therapy may reduce inflammation and improves endothelial function.
The Effect of Differentially Expressed Genes on the Progression of Diabetic Nephropathy Keywords: diabetic nephropathy, type 2 diabetes My primary research interest is to understand how the body responds to damage caused by diet-induced obesity and diabetes, a prominent public health concern in contemporary society. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a chronic disorder that leads to irreparable damage in the kidney. Approximately 30-40% of diabetic patients will eventually develop DN, and 5% of type II diabetics already have kidney disease at the time of diagnosis 1 . In fact, in the United States, DN is the leading cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD, which requires renal dialysis or renal transplant), as 50% of patients are diabetic 2, 3 .
It also stops your intestinal activity completely. 5. Fainting When it occurs that your kidney doesn 't get enough potassium, it may not be able to work properly. The result is frequent urination, which tends to lower the pressure of your blood. If your blood pressure turns too low, you may die 6.
Each renal artery is divided into anterior and posterior branches (presegmental arteries) at the hilium of the kidney. The further division of the arteries is into following branches apical, upper, middle, inferior and posterior. ARTERIAL VARIATIONS It has been established that each of the segments is supplied by their own segmental artery without any collateral connection therefore the importance of each and every branch is equal and needs proper evaluation(33).
Renal Failure Treatment What happened when the kidneys fail to function? The normal kidney removes the wastes and harmful material in the body by making urine. When the kidneys fail, wastes and extra fluids accumulate in the blood. There are other numerous symptoms accompany with kidney failure such as nausea, trouble sleeping, poor appetite, trouble breathing, swelling of the feet or ankles, puffiness around the eyes and so on. The treatment is required with the aid of a specialist who helps to decide which treatment is efficient and when the time to start the treatment.
