When the stone reaches an appropriate size or shape, it prevents the free flow of urine and blocks the flow of urine or damages the kidney or other part of the urinary stone. i) Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) (Attasit et al., 2009) Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the most widely used procedure for the treatment of kidney stones. ESWL acts as an alternative approach to disintegrate stones developed in the kidney and in the upper urinary tract. ESWL uses high…

End Stage Renal Disease occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to meet patient demands on a daily basis. The decline into End Stage Renal Disease almost always follows Chronic Kidney Disease, in which the kidneys slowly decline over a ten to twenty year period. Two of the most common causes of Chronic Kidney Disease are hypertension and Diabetes, both of which are prevalent in the United States, and present in this patient. Unfortunately, without dialysis treatment or a kidney transplant,…

The training for the machine can take up to six weeks by itself and you have to do treatment four to seven per week. Therefore machine itself is the size of a microwave and has to be plugged In at all…

Dialysis is a process used to remove waste and excess water from the blood, and it’s used mainly to provide an artificial replacement for lost kidney function in patients with renal failure. Dialysis may be used for those with an acute disturbance in kidney function or progressive but chronically worsening kidney function. Dialysis, however, does not correct the compromised endocrine functions of the kidney. Its treatments only replace some of these functions through diffusion (waste removal)…

Chronic renal failure often has a detrimental effect on patients. From an economic standpoint, receiving hemodialysis treatments three times a week, or having to perform exchanges at home, makes it difficult for patients to work or attend school. It can be…

Case number 7 involves a 69-year-old female patient named Dorthea. Dorthea was healthy and active until roughly five years ago, when she was diagnosed with diabetes. Eighteen months ago, after some reoccurring fainting spells, her doctors found out that she had an intermittent transient heart block. Dorthea reluctantly consented and was given a permanent pacemaker to correct this problem. Three months ago, her kidney function was found to have decreased 10% to what was normal and could have…

These jobs include: • Removing wastes and extra fluids from the blood. • Making hormones that help keep the body healthy. • Making sure the body has the right amount of fluids and chemicals. Chronic kidney disease may be caused by many things. The kidney damage occurs slowly. If too much damage occurs, the kidneys…
