Extractions: Back Treatment for kidney failure BACK NEXT Chronic kidney failure often progresses from early stage (partial) to end stage (complete) failure. There is no cure for end-stage renal failure (ESRF) also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The damage done to the kidneys is irreversible. Treatment at the end stage of kidney failure involves replacing the lost functions of your kidneys by dialysis or by a kidney transplant. There are two kinds of dialysis treatment, hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis . Dialysis patients: Transplantation is another treatment option. You will learn about the tests used for determining if a patient is suitable for receiving a transplant, and for monitoring a transplant.

IGA Nephropathy, The Transplant
A personal story of Darryl who had this disease. From the beginning, to the diagnosis, the kidney transplant and the update.
http://www.geocities.com/albertja_48446

Extractions: The Parents After blood labs, ultra sound, and a kidney biopsy, our son was diagnosed with a kidney disease, IGA Nephropathy, March 1998. The nephrologist told us that our son had 48% kidney function. During this revelation, his creatinine was 2.1. Any creatinine level above 1.5 is possibly a kidney problem. Then, he was 22 years old. My husband, Darryl, and I sat there stunned. Usually, IGA is caused by some kind of respiratory infection. Our son did not have any kind of respiratory onset; although, in 1996 and 1997, Michigan State University had a meningitis epidemic. The doctor started him on prednisone and blood pressure medicine to maintain his kidneys and his high blood pressure. After six weeks, the nephrologist made us all an appointment with the Nephrology Department at the University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Our son's girlfriend, Eileen, went with us, too. She and her family were great supporters.

Extractions: Urology is the branch of medicine concerned with the urinary tract in both genders, and with the genital tract or reproductive system in the male. Urogenital is a word that refers to the urinary and genital organs. [The medical specialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology specializes in the reproduction (genital) system of females. Nephrology is the medical specialty concerned with the kidneys.] According to the National Kidney Foundation, kidney and urologic diseases affect more than 13 million people (about 5 percent of the US population) and claim about 260,000 lives annually. The number of people affected by these diseases is expected to grow as the populations of older adults and racial and ethnic minorities, groups disproportionately affected by the diseases, increase. The most serious and debilitating of kidney and urinary tract diseases include: Other, non-related diseases have a tremendous impact on the disability and death associated with kidney and urologic diseases, including diabetes and hypertension.

Erectile Dysfunction
Fact sheet including illustrated information on the physiology of erection, causes of impotence, diagnosis, treatment and anticipated future treatment developments.
http://kidney.niddk.nih.gov/kudiseases/pubs/impotence/index.htm

Extractions: Email To A Friend Spanish Version Home : Erectile Dysfunction On this page: Erectile dysfunction, sometimes called "impotence," is the repeated inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. The word "impotence" may also be used to describe other problems that interfere with sexual intercourse and reproduction, such as lack of sexual desire and problems with ejaculation or orgasm. Using the term erectile dysfunction makes it clear that those other problems are not involved. In older men, ED usually has a physical cause, such as disease, injury, or side effects of drugs. Any disorder that causes injury to the nerves or impairs blood flow in the penis has the potential to cause ED. Incidence increases with age: About 5 percent of 40-year-old men and between 15 and 25 percent of 65-year-old men experience ED. But it is not an inevitable part of aging. ED is treatable at any age, and awareness of this fact has been growing. More men have been seeking help and returning to normal sexual activity because of improved, successful treatments for ED. Urologists, who specialize in problems of the urinary tract, have traditionally treated ED; however, urologists accounted for only 25 percent of Viagra mentions in 1999.
