Renal failure

extended time in a hypovolemic state the kidneys are unable to maintain a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) despite a compensatory response leading to a decreased filtration rate and pressure (McCance & Huether, 2014). Examples of prerenal injury are renal artery thrombosis or hypotension secondary to hypovolemia caused by dehydration or hemorrhage in addition to shock either septic or cardiogenic (McCance &Huether, 2014). There the possibility…

of kidney disease. The risk factors associated with chronic kidney disease specific to Mr Goodpasture are hypertension, tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption (Berman et al., 2012; LeMone et al., 2013). The aetiology of Mr Goodpasture’s end stage renal disease (ESRD) is due to his history of hypertension as seen in his medical history. His lifestyle factors of smoking and drinking alcohol may be the cause of his hypertension as they can lead to atherosclerosis (Berman et al., 2012; Bullock &…

The kidneys keep up ordinary homeostasis by separating and discharging metabolic waste items, by directing acid–base offset, and by directing pulse and liquid volume [4]. Abatement in renal capacity is brought about by numerous issues; among these are diabetes mellitus and hypertension. At present, analysis of renal brokenness is in view of such estimations as creatinine, urea, and electrolytes, and additionally on creatinine freedom. These circuitous estimations have low affectability, since a…

glomerular filtrate. Because the afferent arteriole to the glomerulus is much larger than its efferent arteriole, fluid gets slowed down here quite a bit. The fluid that escapes the glomerulus through the efferent arteriole eventually goes to the renal vein. The rest of the glomerular filtrate is absorbed by the glomerular capsule directly adjacent to the…

According to all of her symptoms and her chart she had to be going into kidney failure. When the kidneys shut down your whole body shuts down. Your kidneys filter your blood, when your blood isn 't filtered, it causes damage to all of the other organs in the body. As far as I could tell, she was in the early stages so we still had a…

Supportive care is also known as medical management or conservative kidney management (CKM) of end stage CKD. It lets the disease run its course and focuses on treating the symptoms. (Zios.H, 2014) As stated in the booklet from the Renal Resource Centre ‘Supportive care aims to preserve kidney function for as long as possible but cannot stop the decline in kidney function. It does not replace kidney function. Dialysis and transplant whilst effective treatments do not fully replace…

Causes Kidney Failure Kidneys are the organs that help filter waste products from the blood. They are also involved in regulating blood pressure, electrolyte balance, and red blood cells production in the body. Sysmtoms of kidney failure are due to build-up of waste products in the body that may cause weakness shortness of breath, lethargy,and confusion. Inability to remove potassium from the bloodstream may lead to abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death, initially kidney failure may…

Renal complications Renal damage is almost inevitable in sickle-cell disease. There is a strong tendency for HbS to polymerise in the renal medulla, because of the low partial pressure of oxygen, the low pH, and the high osmolality causing erythrocyte dehydration. The consequent vaso-occlusion causes renal infarction with papillary necrosis, and medullary fibrosis with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Other complications include haematuria, renal medullary carcinoma, nocturnal enuresis…

In Home Care: Kidney Disease According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, kidney disease affects over 20 million Americans and many more are at risk for developing it. A great number of those with kidney disease are seniors. The main risk factors for kidney disease are diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. Next in line are frequent use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and antibiotics. If kidney disease is not addressed and treated in time,…
