Kidney stones affect approximately 1 in 11 people in the United States. Is most common in white American than African American and Hispanic people; the man are 2 or 3 time more prospers to suffer of kidney stone than women. Kidney stones are hard masses found in the kidney that form by high levels of different minerals accumulation in the urine. The kidney stone is known as calculus renal because depend in what amount of mineral formed de stone and where is founded first,…

common ones. Chronic kidney failure is also another health issue that is going on in the world today. Over 26 million American adults have CKD (chronic kidney disease) and millions of others are at increased risk (National Kidney Foundation 1). Now I know you probably wondering what CKD is. Chronic Kidney Failure (CKD) is the loss of kidney function. The kidneys play an important role in the body. Our kidneys help filter waste and excess fluid from the blood. Chronic kidney failure can also be…

ishaemia with oxygen mismatch in supply and demand can lead to elevation of troponin levels in serum. It is reported recently, that troponins are broken down into very small pieces which can be cleared by kidney [53]. In with CKD these micro fragments are left behind as they are not cleared by damaged kidney, leading to their detection in…

Which Troponin Marker Results in Relatively High Assay’s?

The signs and symptoms of this disease are common and most times nonspecific meaning they can be manifested by other diseases.

Introduction Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common chronic illness. It generally denotes the presence of renal dysfunction or renal damage lasting for three months or more (Park et al., 2015). Renal dysfunction is characterized by a reduction in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (i.e. eGFR<60mL/min/1.732 (i.e. stages 3-5). Nonetheless, the causal role is yet to be clearly established. Dietary phosphorus can also be reduced via mechanisms such as boiling foods and soaking…

What is Chronic Kidney Disease? Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an irreversible condition that progresses causing renal dysfunction that is present for at least 3 months eventually leading to renal failure. According to the National Kidney Foundation, 1 in 3 American adults is at risk for kidney disease (National Kidney Foundation, 2012). CKD is an ongoing process of renal injury that causes compensatory hyperfiltration in less affected glomeruli, which eventually leads to the destruction of…

S.M.A.R.T. Objectives 1. 80% of patients with kidney disease that seek care at Richmond, VA’s public housing on-site clinics will be assigned to a nurse case manager by January 31, 2018. 2. 100% of renal patient’s (in the program) health literacy will be evaluated during their initial visit with their nurse case manager or community health worker by one year of the program’s inception. 3. 40% of patients with renal disease will maintain a systolic blood pressure under 130 mmHg and a diastolic…

Serum proteins should be monitored monthly to every 3 months; anthropometry should be carried out every 6 months, and food intake from dietary history and food records (Wolfson, 1999). Forty to fifty percent of all patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) are malnourished. Malnutrition is associated with increased infection, poor wound healing, muscle wasting, fatigue, malaise, and increased mortality. Poor nutritional status prior to initiation of dialysis is also associated with poorer…

Being an omnivore comes along with a couple of benefits like being a high-quality source of protein, collecting important minerals, and vitamins that are needed throughout our bodies; however, being an omnivore can also lead to health problems, a large amount of wasted resources, and can create pollution. Each person can identify themselves by the certain types of diets that are dispersed all around us; there are a variety of diets that even seem unorthodox, yet the ones that we hear about the…

needle-like structures in the distal extremities. These depositions cause arthritis, inflammation and pain (1).Uric acid is normally produced by the metabolic breakdown of purines and this product is then dissolved in the blood and passes through to the kidneys where it is…
