Keeping Metabolic Syndrome in Check Metabolic syndrome, a cluster of interrelated conditions that can severely damage health, is dramatically on the rise. Ahmed H. Kissebah, MD, PhD, one of the world's leading researchers on the topic, discusses its impact. Center Hopes to Change the Future of Kidney Disease Dr. Richard Roman, an expert in the field of kidney disease, is the Director of MCW's Kidney Disease Center. "I didn't think that it was possible to reverse kidney disease," he says, "but with newly emerging technologies I strongly believe that there is new hope." Mercury Exposure More Likely from Fish than Fillings Silver dental fillings do contain very small amounts of inorganic mercury, which is not easily absorbed by the human body. Clinical studies have found these fillings to be safe; removing them actually increases your risk of exposure. Whole Body Scans: Not for Everyone Dr. Kristine Spinelli agrees that whole-body scans can detect abnormalities; but, she says, "it turns out that most of these abnormalities, when looked at closely, do not have an effect on the person's health and well-being."

Kidney Disease in Dogs George 20 April 1988- 27 January 1990 Juvenile renal disease and other familial and congenital renal diseases are seen in more than thirty breeds of dogs. Twenty two of these breeds have a renal dysplasia which is similar to that seen in Standard Poodles. I have put an (RD) for renal dysplasia after their breed names. Even in breeds with the same type of JRD, such as renal dysplasia, the modes of inheritance can be different. Ages at onset of symptoms can vary from a few weeks (Cairn terriers) to 5 - 11 years (German Shepherds, Welsh Corgis, Beagles). Modes of inheritance can vary from X linked dominant (Samoyed) to autosomal recessive (Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Shih-Tzu), autosomal dominant (Bull Terrier), to unknown familial (most of the others). The following breeds are some of those in which familial and other renal diseases are seen: Airedale Terriers (RD) Alaskan Malamutes (RD) Basenjis (Fanconi-like syndrome) Bedlington Terriers (RD) Boxers (RD) Bulldogs (RD) Bull Terriers (glomerulopathy) Cairn Terriers (polycystic kidneys) Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (RD)* Chinese Shar-Pei (amyloidosis) Chow Chows (RD) Cocker Spaniels (glomerulopathy and RD) Collies (glomerulopathy) Doberman Pinschers (unilateral agenesis and glomerulopathy) Flat-coated Retriever (RD)* Golden Retrievers (RD) Great Danes (RD) Great Pyrenees (RD) Irish Wolfhounds (RD) Keeshonds (RD) King Charles Spaniels (RD) Lhasa Apso (RD) Miniature Poodles (polycystic kidneys) Miniature Schnauzers (RD and Fanconi-like syndrome)

Email To A Friend Home : Polycystic Kidney Disease Polycystic Kidney Disease On this page: Autosomal Dominant PKD Autosomal Recessive PKD Acquired Cystic Kidney Disease Hope Through Research ... For More Information Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys. The cysts are filled with fluid. PKD cysts can slowly replace much of the mass of the kidneys, reducing kidney function and leading to kidney failure. The kidneys are two organs, each about the size of a fist, located in the upper part of a person's abdomen, toward the back. The kidneys filter wastes from the blood to form urine. They also regulate amounts of certain vital substances in the body. PKD can cause cysts in the liver and problems in other organs, such as the heart and blood vessels in the brain. These complications help doctors distinguish PKD from the usually harmless "simple" cysts that often form in the kidneys in later years of life. In the United States, about 500,000 people have PKD, and it is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure. Medical professionals describe two major inherited forms of PKD and a noninherited form: Autosomal dominant PKD is the most common inherited form. Symptoms usually develop between the ages of 30 and 40, but they can begin earlier, even in childhood. About 90 percent of all PKD cases are autosomal dominant PKD.

Polycystic Kidney Disease affects 600,000 people in the U.S. alone, and 12.5 million world wide. There are more people with PKD than cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, hemophilia, Downs syndrome and sickle cell anemia combined. There are a lot of us out there! My father died of PKD in 1981 when very little information was available about this disease, even to the doctors. The nephrologist ( kidney doctor) thought he got it from his grandfather who had had medical problems and it had skipped a generation that I've since found out isn't possible. He was also never told that limiting his protein would help reduce the symptoms of uremia ( blood poisoning from kidney failure) which I think would have made his life much more comfortable. This is a big part of why I've put up this web page. I want people with PKD to be able to look up research about this disease, talk to each other, ask each other questions and be there to encourage one another. If you have PKD, please contact the

What are the symptoms of PKD? ... Can PKD be diagnosed in unborn babies? Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Printer-friendly version Email this article What is polycystic kidney disease? Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an inherited disease that affects the kidneys. Sacs of fluid (called cysts) grow in the kidneys. If too many cysts grow or if they get too big, the kidneys become damaged. The cysts may also cause pain or may get infected. PKD is the most common inherited disease in the United States. Children of parents with PKD have a 50% chance of getting the disease. Return to top How will PKD affect me? Most people with PKD can lead a normal life. In many people, the disease is mild and causes only minor problems. PKD is more severe in some patients and can cause kidney failure. About 60% of patients develop high blood pressure, which can be treated with blood pressure medicine. About 50% of patients with PKD have kidney failure by age 60. Dialysis (blood filtering) and kidney transplants are both effective treatments for kidney failure. PKD is generally worse in men, blacks and patients with sickle cell disease. There is also a childhood form of PKD which is usually more severe than the type that occurs in adults. Return to top What other organs can be hurt by PKD?
