Ever been to an event where security was enforced? Security guards did their best
to make sure no foreign bodies would enter or things that could cause harm to everyone.
That’s exactly what a kidney is, a security guard. It protects your body from bad things
and removes them before damage is done. The role of the kidneys in the body is for them
to filter the blood within the body. The kidneys remove wastes, control the body 's fluid
balance, and regulate the balance of electrolytes (Rinaldo Bellomo). The wastes and extra
fluids that come from the blood are then, turned into urine to exit the body. Kidneys
begin to fail when wastes and other foreign bodies build up which can cause weakness,
shortness of breath, etc.

It is known that diabetes prohibits your body from using sugar intake
properly and because of this excess sugar; it causes the sugar to act as a poison in which
the kidneys are then distorted. However, with diabetic renal failure, if you maintain low
blood sugar levels, you are able to escape the symptoms of renal failure. Kidney failure
caused by hypertension can be stemmed from several things like inherent high blood
pressure, obesity, etc. Depending on how high or low the blood pressure is maintained at,
could cause digress to just taking blood pressure medications to progressing to become
acute or chronic renal failure.
As far as symptoms go, some symptoms may develop slowly over time, which
could cause a patient or a doctor to not even diagnose them with renal failure. They could
be caused by other illnesses and because the kidneys adapt pretty well to slight …show more content…
Medication is not the direct source of making a patient get better.
Chronic renal failure is generally treated with hemodialysis. This cleans and
filters the blood using a machine to temporarily rid the body of harmful wastes, extra salt,
and extra water. Hemodialysis helps control blood pressure and helps the body keep the
proper balance of important chemicals (NIH). This method of treatment helps to
(partially) perform the functions of the kidney. The hemodialysis machine cleans your
blood through a very specific process with aid from a dialyzer. Before this can be done, a
clear path to the bloodstream is created. This can be done using a fistula that is placed in
the forearm by tying a vein and an artery together or by using a loop graft a (synthetic)
tube that can be used sooner than a fistula. During hemodialysis, in one tube, the blood
that is unfiltered comes from the body and goes through the machine as excess sodium,
water, and wastes are removed from the body. The filtered blood, then goes
to make sure no foreign bodies would enter or things that could cause harm to everyone.
