Home Transplants now treat feline kidney disease Tuesday, October 01, 2002 By Deborah Weisberg Mr. Saul may look like any other black domestic shorthair, but the 5-year-old North Huntingdon cat is perhaps the only feline in Western Pennsylvania living with a transplanted kidney. Andy Hummell of North Huntingdon with lucky Mr. Saul on the back of the sofa and kidney donor Oscar in his arms. (Annie O'Neill, Post-Gazette) He received a healthy organ from a shelter cat who might otherwise have been euthanized in a $7,000 operation at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The school has done 70 such procedures in the past five years. Mr. Saul's owner, Andrew Hummell, a 34-year-old sales engineer, chose the surgery in May 2001 when kidney failure was about to wipe out Mr. Saul's ninth life. So far, Mr. Saul is among the majority of cats doing well more than a year after transplantation. Another local cat, the only other that Penn has transplanted, was 11 at the time of the transplant and lived a little more than a year afterward before dying of liver cancer.

Extractions: related terms: familial/hereditary/juvenile renal disease, familial/hereditary/juvenile nephropathy, renal dysplasia, hereditary nephritis, renal amyloidosis What is familial kidney disease? Several breeds of dogs are known to be affected by a wide range of kidney diseases that are proven or suspected to be inherited. In many of these disorders, the kidneys are apparently normal at birth but begin to deteriorate early in life (less than 1 year of age). While the underlying problem in the kidneys varies between breeds, the end result is the same - kidney failure for the dog, generally by 5 years of age, although the severity and rate of progression varies between breeds and between individual dogs. For many of these disorders, inheritance is not proven. The term "hereditary" is used when the inheritance is known, and "familial" when the mode of inheritance is not known but the disorder occurs more commonly in related dogs than would be expected by chance. Where the actual defect in the kidney has been identified, a more specific name (given below) may be used Often several names are in use for a particular disorder (see related terms above).

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is an inherited disease characterized by the growth of numerous cysts filled with fluid in the kidneys. PKD cysts can slowly replace much of the mass of the kidneys, reducing kidney function and leading to kidney failure. PKD can also cause cysts in the liver and problems in other organs, such as the heart and blood vessels in the brain. The cysts may also cause pain or may get infected. There are two types of PKD ( autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive Types? Autosomal dominant PKD is inherited. This kind of PKD accounts for about 90 percent of all PKD cases. The term "Autosomal dominant" means that if one parent has the disease, there is a 50 percent chance that the disease will pass to a child. Autosomal recessive PKD is also inherited. This type of PKD is rare. Parents that do not have the disease can have a child with the disease. How can this happen? Ib both parents carry the recessive gene and pass the recessive gene to their child, the child will have two recessive genes and develop the disease.(inherited). What are the symptoms of PKD?

Kidney disease can result in two different sorts of problems:- Causes of kidney failure in children include: Abnormalities in the development of the kidneys or urinary tract. These may be inherited, or occur in children with no family history of kidney disease. The terms dysplasia or hypoplasia are used to describe a failure of the kidneys to develop or grow properly. Vesico-ureteric reflux describes a condition in which urine can flow back up into the kidneys as a child empties their bladder. This can cause scarring to the kidneys, particularly if the urine is infected.

http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/kidney/chronic_kidney_disease.html

Extractions: Once your child has been diagnosed with a chronic kidney disease , it may help to know what could happen next - how your child might feel and what treatments might be involved. Four major areas of concern for parents of kids with kidney diseases are the child's blood pressure, diet anemia (low blood count), and growth . Your child may frequently feel sick and may need to take medicines and be careful about what he or she eats and drinks. For you, that can mean a greater need for involvement in your child's life. Keep reading to learn about treatment for your child's kidney disease and what you can do to help. Treating Kidney Diseases Treatment begins with diet modification and medicines. Your child may need to take several medicines, including vitamins, calcium, bicarbonate, and blood pressure pills. As a result, medication management may be a major challenge. If your child has difficulty remembering to take his or her medicine, you might want to get a medicine clock, which is made up of two cardboard clocks - one for each 12-hour period - with a picture of the medicines on the faces of the clocks at the times the medications need to be taken. These clocks can provide a valuable cue for a child who needs to take several doses of different medicines throughout the day and evening. Also, alarm watches can be set to remind your child to take his or her medicine. If your child needs to take so much medicine that he or she feels full and doesn't want to eat as much, ask your child's doctor for suggestions. Try to find the most acceptable forms of medicine (smaller pills, capsules, or more concentrated liquids, for example) and simplify your child's medication schedule under the doctor's guidance as much as possible.
