   Extractions: Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Kidneys and Urinary System The kidneys are a pair of small organs that lie on either side of your spine at about waist level. They act as filters that keep your blood free of by-products and toxins. The kidneys excrete these compounds with water to make urine. They allow you to continue to consume a variety of foods, drugs, vitamins and supplements, additives, and excess fluids without worry that toxic by-products will build up to harmful levels. Blood circulates through the kidneys for filtration. As the first step in filtration, the blood passes through the glomeruli, a complex structure composed of tiny blood vessels entwined randomly together. Substances present in the blood are selectively filtered across the outer linings of the tiny blood vessels and excreted with water as urine or reabsorbed into tubelike structures (tubules) for further filtration.

("Acute" means sudden, "renal" refers to the kidneys.) Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The kidneys filter wastes and excrete fluid by using the bloodstream's own natural pressure. There are numerous potential causes of damage to the kidneys: Decreased blood flow this may occur when there is extremely low blood pressure caused by trauma, complicated surgery, septic shock , hemorrhage, or burns ; associated dehydration ; or other severe or complicated illnesses. Acute tubular necrosis ( ATN ) may occur when tissues aren't getting enough oxygen or when the renal artery is blocked or narrowed (see acute arterial occlusion of the kidney and renal artery stenosis Over-exposure to metals, solvents, radiographic contrast materials, certain antibiotics, and other medications or substances.

   Extractions: Hi! My name is Bryan and I am ten years old. I was born with kidney failure due to posterior urethral valves (obstructive uropathy). Even before I was born the doctors told my Mommy and Daddy that I would die, but I'm way too stubborn! You can ask my Mommy about that! I have had a lot of surgeries and was on peritoneal dialysis at home from age one until I was five. Then my Mommy gave me one of her kidneys. I also have been diagnosed with autism. My Mommy wanted to let everyone know about me and a little about kidney failure and all that goes with it as well as autism. She wants other mommies and daddies who have extra special kids to know they aren't alone.

   ProVet pet healthcare information article, reviewing the importance of the B vitamins in kidney failure.

   Extractions: SPONSOR CLICK HERE FOR MORE ABOUT PRO-VITB Back B COMPLEX VITAMINS IN RENAL FAILURE PATIENTS First broadcast on www.provet.co.uk This information is provided by Provet for educational purposes only. You should seek the advice of your veterinarian if your pet is ill as only he or she can correctly advise on the diagnosis and recommend the treatment that is most appropriate for your pet. Vitamin supplementation to pets is widely practised, yet there is little scientific evidence to support it. In this article we shall review the importance of vitamin B complex in renal failure patients. The vitamin B complex vitamins are water soluble vitamins which (except for vitamin B12) are poorly stored within the body, and they are excreted in the urine. A continuous dietary supply is needed to meet the body's requirements. In human renal failure patients deficiency of two of the vitamin B complex (folate and pyridoxine) has been reported. The vitamin B requirements of animals with renal failure have not been determined, however it is likely that animals with renal failure have an increased requirement because of: Increased loses Increased needs Animals in renal failure are often in a catabolic state due to protein and other nutrient losses in urine, and other factors. Many of the B vitamins have an important role in the metabolic processes involved in energy production in the body. For example four water soluble B complex vitamins - thiamin, niacin, riboflavin and vitamin B6 are all required for the energy-producing Krebs citric acid cycle.

Treatment Plan The kidney is really a multifunctional organ, controlling not only the conservation of fluid and the removal of bodily wastes , but also the regulation of bone and calcium (including vitamin D) metabolism bone marrow (red blood cell ) activity and electrolyte concentrations Conservation Think about the kidney as a container holding thousands of individual filtering units (each called a "nephron") with tiny pores. Blood passes through the kidney, and in the process is routed through each of these filters; toxins and other wastes are removed, most of the fluid (about 95%) is reabsorbed back to the bloodstream (water is conserved), electrolyte concentrations (primarily sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, chloride) are delicately adjusted, and urine is produced. This urine is stored in the urinary bladder until it is voided. The kidney is responsible for providing precursor for the synthesis of Vitamin D ; Vitamin D is necessary for the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, the regulation of concentrations of calcium and phosphorus is also determined by the action of
