Juvenile Renal Disease in Standard Poodles I. Definition and Description In affected standard poodles, histological findings include "cystic glomerular atrophy and large numbers of immature ("fetal") glomeruli are observed, especially in dogs at 3 to 4 months of age. Secondary tubular changes consist of focal to diffuse tubular dilatation and atrophy as well as basement membrane mineralization. The cortical interstitium contains segmental areas of fibrosis, whereas more diffuse lesions occur in the medulla. Interstitial infiltrates of mononuclear cells are minimal in younger dogs and more severe in older dogs." (2) "Hypoplastic kidneys appear as miniature replicas of normal kidneys composed of reduced numbers of histologically normal nephrons". (1) There are a number of hereditary nephropathies that cause renal failure in young dogs. The genetic nature of these diseases makes accurate diagnosis imperative so that affected animals are not bred. Usually, in standard poodles the disease is discovered before breeding age, but diagnosing a puppy affected with JRD could prevent both the sire and dam from being bred again. In standard poodles with JRD, symptoms can 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 are seen because of a failure 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 initial renal lesions and factors resulting in progressive loss of renal functional mass. (1) Larry Cowgill, DVM, (University of California, Davis), told me that many puppies born with renal dysplasia do better than dogs who acquire kidney disease later in life. He said that these puppies are able to plateau until a small insult occurs, and then they decompensate.

From The Cochrane Library, Issue 2, 2004 Low protein diets for chronic renal failure in non diabetic adults (Cochrane Review) Fouque D, Wang P, Laville M, Boissel JP ABSTRACT Order full review View and/or submit comments What's new in this issue Search abstracts ... Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 22 August 2000. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: For more than fifty years, low protein diets have been proposed to patients with kidney failure. However, the effects of these diets in preventing severe renal failure and the need for maintenance dialysis have not been resolved. Objectives: To determine the efficacy of low protein diets in delaying the need to start maintenance dialysis. Search strategy: Medline and Embase search from January 1966 through to 30 August 2002.Congress abstracts (American Society of Nephrology since 1990, European Dialysis Transplant Association since 1985, International Society of Nephrology since 1987). Direct contacts with investigators. Selection criteria: Randomised trials comparing two different levels of protein intake in adult patients suffering from moderate to severe renal failure, followed for at least one year. Diabetic nephropathy patients were excluded.

Nutrition Education Curriculum Section Six: Nutrition and Renal Disease Urine formation consists of three basic processes: glomerular filtration, tubular secretion, and tubular reabsorption. Several disease conditions can interfere with these functions. Inflammatory and degenerative diseases can involve the small blood vessels and membranes in the nephrons. Urinary tract infections and kidney stones can interfere with normal drainage, causing further infection and tissue damage. Circulatory disorders, such as hypertension, can damage the small renal arteries. Other diseases, such as diabetes, gout, and urinary tract abnormalities can lead to impaired function, infection, or obstruction. Toxic agents such as insecticides, solvents, and certain drugs may also harm renal tissue. Nephrotic Syndrome In nephrotic syndrome, an injury to the glomerular basement membrane causes an increased glomerular permeability, resulting in the loss of albumin and other plasma proteins in the urine. Urinary protein losses greater than 3-3.5 grams per day usually indicate nephrotic syndrome. Although albumin synthesis in the liver is increased in nephrotic syndrome, it is not enough to compensate for losses in the urine. The loss of albumin leads to edema.

Healthy kidneys clean the blood by filtering out extra water and wastes. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and blood healthy. When both of your kidneys fail, your body holds fluid. Your blood pressure rises. Harmful wastes build up in your body. Your body doesn't make enough red blood cells. You develop fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. When this happens, you need treatment to replace the work of your failed kidneys. Treatment choice: Hemodialysis What is hemodialysis?

People with ESRD must undergo dialysis or transplantation to stay alive. Treatment Choices: Hemodialysis Hemodialysis is a procedure that cleans and filters your blood. It rids your body of harmful wastes and extra salt and fluids. It also controls blood pressure and helps your body keep the proper balance of chemicals such as potassium, sodium, and chloride. Hemodialysis uses a dialyzer, or special filter, to clean your blood. The dialyzer connects to a machine. During treatment, your blood travels through tubes into the dialyzer. The dialyzer filters out wastes and extra fluids. Then the newly cleaned blood flows through another set of tubes and back into your body. Hemodialysis usually is done three times a week. Each treatment lasts from 2 to 4 hours. During treatment, you can read, write, sleep, talk, or watch TV.
