Chronic Kidney Disease Chronic kidney disease happens when the kidneys are damaged over a long period. The kidneys are two organs that perform many important jobs in the body. 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.

trying to filter through the kidneys. Instead the two create a mass in the glomerular basement causing the immune system to misguidedly infect the kidneys. This causes the glomerulus to swell which then restricts filtration. The restriction result in a domino effect of problems. Clear…

Reality has sank in after the first week of the kidney failure news. Emotions were high and there was lots of crying during those first two weeks. I cried thinking of my children.

also be a result of a genetic dysfunction (mutation) during growth. Chronic kidney disease, also known as chronic renal disease or chronic kidney failure is the progressive deterioration of kidney function over an extensive period and ultimately leads to permanent kidney failure after some years. Chronic kidney disease is often left undiagnosed until the failure is forthcoming and function is around 25%. The kidneys undertake the complicated method of filtration within our bodies, and as…

Abstract This research paper explores the age related changes associated with the urinary system, specifically the kidneys, and the debilitating effects derived from theses changes. There are a variety of sources used in this paper to present the most factual information about renal disease as possible, including: books, peer-reviewed articles, and professional websites. In this research paper it is discussed how one develops renal disease, the effects of renal disease, and possible prevention…

Most things in our body we can either have too much or too little of. Both can potentially be dangerous depending on their role in the human body. Potassium is very important electrolyte in our bodies; it helps with cell development and also plays a role in the electrical system of our body. A major organ affected by potassium is the heart. Potassium helps regulate our heart rate and rhythm. Too much or too little could cause an arrhythmia which is an abnormal heart rhythm. According to the Mayo…

"Anemia is a reduction in the total number of erythrocytes in the circulating blood or a decrease in the quality or quantity of hemoglobin" (McCance & Huether, 2014, p.982). There are many causes of anemia and are classified in this manner. There are three classifications: macrocytic-normochromic anemia, microcytic-hypochromic anemia, and normocytic-normochromic anemia (McCance & Huether, 2014). Macrocytic-normochromic anemias encompass pernicious anemia and folate deficiency anemia (McCance &…

Chronic Renal Failure Chronic renal failure is an illness that involves the gradual loss of kidney function to the point that the nephrons lose their filtration abilities. Chronic kidney disease is increasing in prevalence in the United States, and this is causing significant financial and social implications. One major issue is that the disease has poor outcomes, and there is a need for the development of new interventions. Studies illustrate that there is a high prevalence of the earlier…
