what your Cardiovascular health is. Cardiovascular problems, which are problems that affect the heart and blood vessels, are some of the greatest overall health problems in the United States and around the world. Overall, heart disease, sometimes called coronary artery disease, is the number one killer of people in the United States. Today we can see a higher rate of cardiovascular events and a higher death rate in those individuals with low levels of…

Introduction: Postmenopausal women have a greater risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) in later life [1]. Estrogen is nephroprotective in premenopausal women; however, it has been suggested that the loss of estrogen predisposes women to reduced kidney function [2]. As a consequence, there is an increased risk of incident mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia, which has been demonstrated by several studies [3-5]. The risk of incident cognitive impairment and dementia are…

disturbances of lipid metabolism are accentuated and contribute to cardiovascular complications (Smeltzer et. al., 2010, p. 1335) b. Hyperglycemia: with decreasing renal function, it takes longer for oral hypoglycemia agents to be excreted by the kidneys (Smeltzer et. al., 2010, p. 1223). c. Anemia /blood loss during the procedure: Anemia is compounded by blood lost during hemodialysis (Smeltzer et. al., 2010, p. 1335). d. Gastric ulcers: May result from physiologic stress of chronic…

Introduction The intent of this paper is to examine conceptual linkages between concepts and the tenets of an approach to research. The article used in this paper is titled chronic kidney disease (CKD) stressors influence choices of dialysis modality (Harwood, Wilson, Sontrop and Clark, 2012). A prospective correlational design was used in thin study. The underpinning epistemological, ontological, ethical and ideological tenets of prospective correlation design is described based on this…

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) and dialysis have negative impact on lifestyle. Renal transplantation improves many facets of daily life. Male sexuality is a significant predictor of quality of life. This brief review summarizes the impacts of ESRD and renal replacement on a range of sexual domains as presented at the European Association of Urology meeting in Vienna. In choosing renal transplantation, men expect superior long-term survival compared to other means of renal replacement. Moreover,…

One of the more important organs is the kidneys and when they stop working things start to get complicated. Although people can live with just one kidney, trying to live with two kidneys has many problems because the kidneys are so important. The main function of the kidneys is to excrete waste throughout the body, along with balancing body fluid and forming urine. If a person lost both of their kidneys there would be an accumulation of waste products. Kidney failure is a common and life…

doctors, and patients. Throughout her article Mackay uses many strong sources that strengthen her argument and also appeals ethos. These sources include, Michael Finkel, “This Little Kidney Went to Market”, published in the New York Times Magazine in 2001, and Madhav Goyal “Economic and Health Consequences of Selling a Kidney in India”, and published in Journal of the American Medical Association in 2002. Using these sources and citing them shows that Mackay put a lot of time and effort into…

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…

sudden dysfunction or disease of the kidneys that can significantly impair renal function within the body. According to Huether and McCance (2012), renal failure is characterized by enough of a decline of renal function to require dialysis. Renal failure is after renal risk and injury, but prior to renal loss and end-stage kidney disease (Huether & McCance, 2012, p755). The dysfunctions the lead to acute kidney failure can be caused due to sudden renal injuries or by systemic diseases of the…
