http://www.procrit.com/nephrology/

Extractions: Learn about how kidney disease, or kidney problems caused by diabetes or high blood pressure, can cause anemia. One of the most difficult side effects of anemia is fatigue, or excessive tiredness. If you've been feeling especially tired since you developed kidney problems, and you don't have the strength to do the things you used to do, you may have anemia without even knowing it.
TMR - Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic kidney disease A Challenging Illness Affecting Hundreds of Thousands. By Joel R. Cooper. This was my first exposure to polycystic kidney disease.
http://medicalreporter.health.org/tmr0795/polycyst0795.html

Extractions: By Joel R. Cooper Several years ago, I dated a woman whose father, a big computer company executive, had polycystic kidney disease. He received dialysis treatments at home, and was okay for a while, then developed complications and died. I remember seeing him at home on that machine which took blood from his body, then routed it into its mechanical innards and back into him after cleansing it somehow. Having never worked in a clinical environment before, seeing him lying there hooked up to a machine upon which he depended for life made me feel queasy and uncomfortable. Perhaps the experience reminded me of the fragility of life in general and my own mortality in particular. This was my first exposure to polycystic kidney disease. It had an impact. The woman, too, had the disease, which was genetically passed on to her from her father. A ballet instructor and choreographer, she's still very much alive today, but she has to be careful about her health and diet. And she knows her future is not necessarily very bright. She could die the same way her father did, if medical science can't produce a more palatable outcome for her. 600,000 Americans have the same disease she does, yet it's hardly a household term like AIDS. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD), sometimes called autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, is a life-threatening genetic disorder that eventually produces end-stage renal (kidney) disease in the majority of cases. Patients progressing to end-stage renal disease, must have either hemodialysis (a removal of the toxic substances in the blood by a machine that acts as an artificial kidney) or a kidney transplant to survive. According to the Polycystic Kidney Research Foundation, Kansas City, Missouri USA, an estimated 5 to 10 million people have the disease worldwide.

Extractions: Email To A Friend Home : Proteinuria On this page: Proteinuria describes a condition in which urine contains an abnormal amount of protein. Proteins are the building blocks for all body parts, including muscles, bones, hair, and nails. Proteins in your blood also perform a number of important functions. They protect you from infection, help your blood coagulate, and keep the right amount of fluid circulating through your body. As blood passes through healthy kidneys, they filter the waste products out and leave in the things the body needs, like proteins. Most proteins are too big to pass through the kidneys' filters into the urine unless the kidneys are damaged. The main protein that is most likely to appear in urine is albumin. Albumin is smaller and therefore more likely to escape through the filters of the kidney, called glomeruli. Sometimes the term albuminuria is used when the test detects albumin specifically. Albumin's function in the body includes retention of fluid in the blood. It acts like a sponge, soaking up fluid from body tissues. Inflammation in the glomeruli is called glomerulonephritis

Kidney Directions: About End Stage Renal Disease
Site sponsored by Baxter Healthcare discusses end stage renal disease, acute kidney failure, and chronic kidney failure.
http://www.kidneydirections.com/us/patients/basics/kidneys/ext-end-stage-renal-d

Extractions: The kidneys no longer work well enough to remove wastes and excess fluids from the body. Complete kidney failure occurs when less than 10% of your kidneys are working. Toxins , waste products from foods and body cells, plus extra fluids build up in the blood. If the excess wastes and fluids are not removed, the whole body is affected. You will become ill from the build up of waste products and fluid. When the kidneys cannot work normally any longer, this is called kidney failure. When kidney failure progresses to the point where the kidneys do not function well enough to keep a person healthy, he or she will need treatment. A process called "dialysis" is used to replace some of the functions (waste and fluid removal) of the kidneys. Or, a patient may be a candidate for a kidney transplant, which is when a new kidney from a living or deceased donor replaces the patient's nonfunctioning kidney (patients usually receive dialysis while they are waiting for a donor kidney). Not all people with kidney failure are candidates for a transplant. Kidney failure can happen suddenly or slowly.

ESRD Treatment Choices
A discussion about hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and kidney transplantation in the treatment of endstage renal disease.
http://cnpd.com/choices.htm

Extractions: Today, there are new and better treatments for ESRD that replace the work of healthy kidneys. By learning about your treatment choices, you can work with your doctor to pick the one that's best for you and with the help of your health care team, family, and friends, you may be able to lead a full, active life. The following describes the choices for treatment: Dialysis 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.

E-Kidneys.net: Anatomy, Formation Of Urine, Urination, Diseases, Diuretics, Acid
Information about the human kidney, anatomy, physiology, disease, acidbase balance, and thirst mechanisms.
http://www.e-kidneys.net

Extractions: The kidneys are very important organs within the human body. They guard blood volume, filter the blood and form urine, regulate water, electrolyte and acid base balance, produce some small hormones and participate in the metabolism of others. At rest, an estimated 20% of cardiac output (~1000ml/minute) flows through the kidneys where it is filtered and reconditioned. The kidneys have a major role in maintaining an internal environment that is compatible with life. These small organs must keep fluids, minerals (such as calcium and magnesium), and electrolytes (such as sodium and potassium) in balance while excreting waste products in the urine. One of the main tasks is to keep an appropriate amount of water in the body. Approximately 50-70% of body weight is attributed to water. The water is distributed between two compartments, that which is inside the cells (~2/3rds) and that which is outside the cells (~1/3rd). The water outside of the cells is further divided between the blood and tissues . Tissue fluid and blood plasma contain about the same electrolyte composition but plasma contains a large amount of protein. All of these compartments are in balance with each other, so that changes in one eventually causes changes in the others. Abnormalities in fluid distribution (such as edema) are associated with some common
