From Hospital Medicine Preventing Progression and Complications of Renal Disease Authors Sidney Kobrin, MD , and Shreeram Aradhye, MD , Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania ( BUT...Altered for this venue by C. Newman) Abstract Introduction In this new age of managed health care, generalists have had to assume increasing responsibility for managing problems previously tackled by specialists. Although timely referral to and collaboration with a nephrologist is vital in caring for patients with renal disease, it is important for the primary care physician to be familiar with measures aimed at preventing the progression and complications of renal failure. The number of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is rising rapidly in the United States. The cost of providing renal replacement therapy for these patients is about $12 billion per year. Early recognition of renal disease and appropriate interventions to delay its progression may decrease both human suffering and the financial costs associated with ESRD. Primary care physicians usually treat patients with diabetes and hypertension, the two leading causes of ESRD in this country. Since most patients with early renal failure are asymptomatic, awareness and vigilance on the part of the primary care physician are essential for the early diagnosis, appropriate referral, and collaborative management of these patients. The clinical management of the patient with progressive renal failure may be divided into several components: (1) early recognition of renal failure; (2) monitoring the progression of renal failure; (3) detection and correction of reversible causes of renal failure; (4) institution of interventions to delay progression of renal failure; (5) avoidance of additional renal injury; (6) treatment of complications (ie, acid-base, mineral, and fluid-electrolyte abnormalities) of renal failure; and (7) planning ahead for renal replacement therapy (dialysis or transplantation).

22. Renal Diet Introduction. The renal diet is an helps you to feel well and avoids complications like fluid overload, high blood potassium, itching, bone disease and weight http://www.ika.ie/diet.html

Introduction The renal diet is an essential part of treatment - it helps you to feel well and avoids complications like fluid overload, high blood potassium, itching, bone disease and weight loss. Each person with renal disease is very different and obviously so are their needs. the dietary advice you are given depends on a number of factors including: the stage of renal disease, the type of treatment you are on, your blood results and the presence of other medical conditions e.g. diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolaemia. There's no doubt that the renal diet is a challenge and requires planning, imagination and practical ideas. Hopefully this cookbook will help you enjoy your renal diet. Remember the diet sheet your dietian gave you is designed specially for you and you may need to adapt some of the recipes to suit your own special needs. We have highlighted recipes which are higher in potassium or fat. Potassium Because many renal patients are on potassium restriction the potassium content of recipes have been highlighted. If your blood potassium level is allowed to rise too high, it can affect the heart and in extreme cases cause it to stop. Vegetables are used in some of these recipes to make meals more appetising and interesting. If you have been advised to restrict your potassium intake, you will need to include these in your vegetable allowance. Salads must also be included as part of your daily fruit and vegetable allowance.

(Read about " Kidney Disease ") When they are damaged by disease or injury, they lose the ability to do their job. Unfortunately kidneys can not heal themselves. Any damage is usually irreversible. We are lucky however, because we have more kidney power than we need. Most people are born with two kidneys, but can function easily with just one. However, if you lose 85 to 90 percent of your kidney function, you enter what is called end stage renal disease (ESRD). At that point you need help. There are only two choices according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), dialysis and transplantation. Causes of chronic kidney failure When the kidneys fail, it can be temporary (acute) or permanent (chronic). The number one cause of chronic kidney failure or end stage renal disease (ESRD), according to NIDDK, is diabetes. (Read about "

References In individuals with chronic kidney disease, progression is documented either by increasing levels of serum creatinine or falling levels of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), as estimated by measured creatinine clearance or by creatinine clearance formulas. Currently, chronic kidney disease is defined by: Pathologic abnormalities, or Markers of kidney damage, including abnormalities in the composition of the blood or urine, or abnormalities on imaging tests PREVALENCE In 1998, 86,000 patients began treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and in that same year there were more than 300,000 prevalent cases of ESRD. By 2010, these numbers are projected to be 172,667 incident and 661,330 prevalent cases of ESRD. In particular, renal disease in diabetes mellitus is a disproportion of the rising prevalence and incidence of new cases of progressive kidney disease in the United States.

General Guidelines Make changes to your daily diet Check with your doctor before taking drugs or over the counter supplements Take medications as ordered to control blood sugar and blood pressure Manage emotional issues with support and counseling Make Changes to Your Daily Diet To compensate for your reduced kidney function, you may need to make changes in your diet. A registered dietitian can help you with each of these changes. The most important nutrients for you to watch are: Protein – depending on your kidney function and treatment, you may need to either limit or increase protein intake. Because your kidneys are not functioning properly, protein can build up in your blood. Eating less protein decreases strain on your kidneys. However, your body still needs protein. Your doctor will recommend a daily protein level and ask a dietitian to help you plan meals. If you begin hemodialysis or have a transplant, your protein needs will change. Foods rich in protein include meats, poultry, and fish, as well as eggs, dairy products, soy products, and legumes (beans).

Credits Chronic Kidney Disease Topic Overview What is chronic kidney disease (CKD)? Chronic kidney disease develops when the kidneys permanently lose most of their ability to remove waste and maintain fluid and chemical balances in the body. This process can develop rapidly—within 2 to 3 months—or slowly, over 30 to 40 years. The severity of chronic kidney disease depends on how well the kidneys filter wastes from the blood ( glomerular filtration rate In chronic kidney disease, the kidneys have not stopped working altogether but are not working as well as they should. You can live normally with kidneys that are not functioning at 100% or with only one functioning kidney. Dialysis or kidney transplantation is required when kidney function drops to about 15% of normal.

29. Diet For Renal Failure Patients with kidney disease, also called renal failure, can use diet to control the progress and many of the symptoms of their condition. http://me.essortment.com/dietkidneyrena_rkeq.htm

Diet for renal failure Patients with kidney disease, also called renal failure, can use diet to control the progress and many of the symptoms of their condition. Kidneys remove toxins from our blood and dispose of them through urine. Unless they're working properly, human bodies begin to retain fluid; when the bloodstream is at capacity, this fluid is held by the cells, and begins to build up in lungs, the heart cavity, and anywhere else it can find to deposit itself. Extremities swell, so rings and shoes fit tighter. Faces puff up, and maybe our waistbands feel a bit more snug. But the seriousness of fluid build-up can't be ignored when it begins to affect heart and lung function. Most people experience some puffiness the day after an especially salty meal. The situation will resolve itself after a day or so, if the kidneys are working as they should, and a healthy person can help the situation along by drinking lots of waterthis helps to literally flush excess sodium. bodyOffer(31460) People with kidney (renal) failure don't have the luxury to indulge themselves, though; their kidneys struggle to process body fluids even on their best days. An overload of salt (sodium) in any form adds stress; taking in additional water does not help. In fact, in makes the situation worse. The combination of too much sodium and too much fluid can be life-threatening for kidney patients, whether or not they are on dialysis. Serious kidney dysfunction is called "end stage renal disease." This diagnosis means that a person is on the road to a regimen of dialysis and possible kidney transplant. Physicians use urine and blood tests to determine the seriousness of each patient's condition and to prescribe medications and diet guidelines to control the symptoms and the progress of the disease.

Juvenile Renal Disease Table of Contents * Introduction * Breeds Affected by Juvenile Renal Disease * Symptoms and Diagnosis * Treatment ... * References Introduction In January of 1990, I had my twenty one month old Standard Poodle puppy euthanised. She was one of three puppies in a litter of eleven to die of Juvenile Renal Disease (JRD). All three of the puppies with the disease appeared healthy, and grew normally until clinical signs appeared at ten months in one, and twenty months in the other two. She died two weeks after being diagnosed. The disease is devastating. The prognosis is dismal. Nobody expects to lose a puppy of that age. Breeds Affected by Juvenile Renal Disease Symptoms Early symptoms of Juvenile Renal Disease include drinking copious amounts of water, something that might not be readily apparent in a house with more than one dog, frequent urination, and dilute urine which has little color or odor. Some affected puppies leak urine, many do not. Often a puppy owner's earliest complaint is about the difficulty of housebreaking a puppy later discovered to have JRD. The volume of water consumed, and, in some puppies,leakage of urine can make housebreaking a formidable task. As the disease progresses, vomiting, weight loss, anorexia, lethargy, and muscle weakness are seen. There is sometimes a chemical odor to the breath as a result of metabolic waste not being excreted by the kidneys. In breeds in which juvenile renal diseases are seen, symptoms may be noted as early as a few weeks after birth; and affected puppies are almost without exception symptomatic before two years of age. Some puppies fail to thrive: most grow normally until symptoms appear. Puppies with renal dysplasia may appear clinically normal for extended periods of time before developing signs of chronic renal failure. The rate at which renal dysplasia progresses to overt renal failure depends on the severity of the initial renal lesions. Dogs commonly do not exhibit clinical signs of renal failure until less than 25% of renal function remains. A dog with renal dysplasia affecting only one kidney may be symptom free, and the dog may live a normal lifetime.

Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 26 August 1997. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Diabetic renal disease (nephropathy) is a leading cause of end-stage renal failure. Objectives: To determine whether protein restriction slows or prevents progression of diabetic nephropathy towards renal failure. Search strategy: Computerised databases Medline (1976-1996) and Embase (1974-1996) were searched using the search terms diabetes mellitus, diabetic nephropathy, dietary proteins, diet, protein restricted and uremia. Recent issues of selected journals (Diabetic Medicine, Diabetologia, Diabetes Care, Kidney International, Nephrology Dialysis and Transplantation) were handsearched for papers not yet in the computerised databases. Reference lists of papers were also checked. Selection criteria: This review was not limited to randomised controlled trials. All trials involving people with insulin-dependent diabetes following a lower protein diet for at least four months were considered since the straight line nature of progression as reflected by glomerular filtration rate means that patients can act as their own controls in a before and after comparison.
