Extractions: The Cleveland Clinic Foundation DEFINITION 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: 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.

Extractions: Nutrition Education Curriculum Contents 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. 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.
Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed This education page is designed for patients, families, and other individuals interested in learning more information about kidney failure and treatment options. What is the function of the kidney? The kidney has three basic functions: Filter: The kidney acts as a filter to remove waste products and fluids. Blood pressure control: The kidney acts with a substance, renin, to control blood pressure from becoming high. If the kidneys are not removing enough fluid, urine, blood pressure can rise. The heart works harder pumping blood to the body when there is extra fluid to be pump blood through. Hormone production: The kidney produces a hormone, erythropoetin. This hormone is responsible for red blood cell production in your bone marrow. The kidney also produces the active form of Vitamin D so a person is able to absorb calcium. What are the kidneys?
IKidney - How Not To Cheat On Your Renal Diet As an EndStage renal disease (ESRD) patient, your diet needs may differ greatly from When it comes to adhering to a health-related diet, renal disease http://www.ikidney.com/iKidney/Lifestyles/NutritionalTips/Hemodialysis/HowNottoC
Extractions: As an End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patient, your diet needs may differ greatly from the concepts of healthy living you hear about in the mainstream. For example, on dialysis, you must limit the potassium intake found in most fruits and vegetables and cut way down on your fluid intake when mainstream diets tell you to drink a lot of water. This can be very confusing! Many of the foods that are described as nutritious can be harmful to renal patients; therefore, it is vitally important to learn as much as you can about the foods you eat. When it comes to adhering to a health-related diet, renal disease patients are like anyone else. They tend to resist. As a former dialysis and current transplant patient, this is a feeling I understand. The diet can be very difficult. Some patients have heard it all, again and again, and its dietary litany drones on like a broken record. The reality is a renal diet is very difficult to adhere to. Frankly, I hate the word "diet" because it conjures up something at which most people do not succeed. I prefer to think of it as "my way" of healthy eating.

Extractions: Gout - The Disease And Diet (Part I) By Mumtaz Khalid Ismail More Links Clinical features of Gout Precipitating factors of Gout Uric acid and its metabolism Uric acid source Gout is a chronic metabolic disorder occurred due to the abnormal uric acid metabolism. It is a hereditary disease and is mainly occurring in males. The incidence of the disease among female is only about 5-10 percent. Women become more susceptible after menopause. Even though gout can develop in young age the mean age of onset is around 45 years for male and around 55 years in female. People suffer from this disease are generally non-vegetarians even though some time this disease is seen also among the vegetarians. In India gout appeals to be relatively uncommon disease may be due to hereditary factors or due to the dietary habit. Gout may be primary or secondary. Primary gout is due to the abnormality of uric acid production and metabolism and secondary gout results from excess uric acid production due to excessive break down of cell nuclei occurring in other diseases such as leukaemia, pernicious anaemia, haemolytic anaemia and polycythaemia (increased red cells). Raised serum uric acid and deposition of urate (uric acid salt) in the cartilage and joint surfaces are the characteristics of gout. There are recurrent attacks of pain and swelling of the joints. Joints that are more prone to trauma are most liable to be involved. Most of the time clinical gout starts with recurrent attacks of gouty arthritis. Initially starts as acute pain and swelling of metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe. Later inflammation spreads to heel, ankle, other small joints of feet and knee. Other joints involved are small joints of hand, elbow and spinal joints. This resolves and may have recurrent attacks. About 10 to 12 years after initial attack chronic tophaceous gout develops. Urate crystals get ( tophi ) deposited in different parts of the body including joints. Joint destruction occurs and becomes more prone to infection. The resolution at this stage is incomplete.

Extractions: Category : Health Centers Food, Nutrition, and Metabolism Diet for Kidney Disease Alternate Names : Renal Diet Functions and Sources Pictures and Images Attribution There are two types of diets for kidney disease. One type of diet is specifically for people who have progressive chronic renal failure , or kidney failure, but are not on dialysis yet. Along with medicine, a low-protein diet may slow the worsening of kidney failure. The other more restrictive type of diet is for people on dialysis whose kidneys have totally failed and are no longer working at all. This is called end stage renal disease , or ESRD. Information The kidneys also make hormones needed by the body. These include hormones that help make bones and blood cells. The kidneys also help control blood pressure by limiting the amount of fluid and salt in the bloodstream. People with kidney disease are at risk for vitamin deficiencies. Their bodies may not be able to make certain blood cells, which can lead to

Extractions: The Vegetarian's Kidneys Ashok L. Kirpalani Gout is a disease affecting joints and causing kidney stones. It is due to deposition, in joints and kidneys, of uric acid which is both generated in the body and also derived from food products like all meats. Those suffering from gout and uric acid kidney stones benefit most by omitting meat from their diet and converting to a vegetarian diet. With proper adjuvant therapy the incidence of kidney stones reduces and the patient suffers less joint pains. SUGGESTED FURTHER READING Barry M. Brenner and Jay H. Stein.

DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION Assessment of severity of CKD - stages and eGFR Risks from CKD Management of mild CKD Management of moderate to severe CKD (CRF) Management of diabetes with microalbuminuria/ proteinuria ... Indications for measuring serum creatinine CKD (chronic kidney disease) is more common than previously thought, and has greater implications than previously thought. Most people with CKD fall into the mild to moderate categories where hospital-based management is not necessary. For many in this patient group, the cardiovascular impact of their renal disease is more significant than the risk of developing end stage renal failure. Assessment of severity Guidance is usefully directed according to severity of renal damage. The 5 KDOQI CKD (chronic kidney disease) stages are useful. More info about the KDOQI stages of CKD (KDOQI - Kidney Diseases Outcome Quality Initiative - more info The KDOQI stages depend on knowledge of GFR, or more usually, estimation of GFR from serum creatinine (eGFR). This is useful because using serum creatinine alone can give a misleading impression of renal function (usually too optimistic).
