The questions and answers are available on CNN.com after the show. Q: What are the causes of kidney failure? Yaqub in Abuja, Nigeria A: Kidney failure, or chronic renal failure, is actually reduced kidney function. The kidneys' functions include removing waste from the body, maintaining the body's chemical balance and producing hormones. Many medical conditions or diseases can cause a loss of kidney function, with diabetes and high blood pressure as the two most common causes of chronic renal failure. With diabetes, high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the kidneys. Other conditions such as long-term inflammation of the kidneys, large kidney cysts and blocked urine flow can cause chronic renal failure.

    Extractions: CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW What’s On This Page IF MY PET IS STILL MAKING PLENTY OF URINE HOW CAN THERE BE KIDNEY FAILURE? In chronic kidney failure, urine is usually produced in excessive quantities. What the kidneys are failing to do is conserve water (they are failing to make concentrated urine). The body produces numerous toxins on a moment by moment basis. These toxins circulate to the kidneys where, dissolved in water, they are filtered out and urinated away. An efficient kidney can make a highly concentrated urine so that a large amount of toxin can be excreted in a relatively small amount of water. When the kidneys fail over a long time period, they lose their ability to concentrate urine and more water is required to excrete the same amount of toxin. The animal will begin to drink more and more to provide the failing kidneys with enough water. Ultimately, the animal cannot drink enough and toxin levels begin to rise. Weight loss, listlessness, nausea, constipation, and poor appetite become noticeable. It is common for animals, especially cats, to have a long history of excessive water consumption when they finally come to the vet's office with one of the latter complaints.

When both of your kidneys fail, your body holds fluid. Your blood pressure rises. Harmful wastes build up in your body. Your body doesn't make enough red blood cells. You develop fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. When this happens, you need treatment to replace the work of your failed kidneys. What are the treatments for kidney failure? There are three options when treating kidney failure, which will be discussed in length in the following sections: Hemodialysis Peritoneal dialysis Kidney transplant Hemodialysis What is hemodialysis?

    Extractions: Kidney Failure Series Home Kidney Failure Series : Choosing a Treatment That's Right for You On this page: Your kidneys filter wastes from your blood and regulate other functions of your body. When your kidneys fail, you need treatment to replace the work of healthy kidneys to survive. Developing kidney failure means that you have some decisions to make about your treatment. If you choose to receive treatment, your choices are hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation. Each of them has advantages and disadvantages. You may also choose to forgo treatment. By learning about your choices, you can work with your doctor to decide what's best for you. No matter which treatment you choose, you'll need to make some changes in your life, including how you eat and plan your activities. But with the help of your health care team, family, and friends, you can lead a full, active life. Top Healthy kidneys clean your blood by removing excess fluid, minerals, and wastes. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. When your kidneys fail, harmful wastes build up in your body, your blood pressure may rise, and your body may retain excess fluid and not make enough red blood cells. When this happens, you need treatment to replace the work of your failed kidneys.

    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.

    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. Dialysis patients are monitored and/or treated by the medical team in a Dialysis center Convenient summaries are provided of: If you have been recently diagnosed with kidney failure, this section will help you understand your situation:

    Extractions: Chronic kidney failure, also known as chronic renal failure, affects over 250,000 Americans annually. It is caused by a number of diseases and inherited disorders, but the progression of chronic kidney failure is always the same. The kidneys, which serve as the body's natural filtration system, gradually lose their ability to remove fluids and waste products (urea) from the bloodstream. They also fail to regulate certain chemicals in the bloodstream, and deposit protein into the urine. Chronic kidney failure is irreversible, and will eventually lead to total kidney failure, also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Without proper treatment intervention to remove wastes and fluids from the bloodstream, ESRD is fatal.

    Extractions: Kidney failure is a serious disease which can have a major impact on life, and can ultimately be fatal. However, it can be successfully treated. What do the kidneys do? In order for blood to perform its essential functions of bringing nutrients and oxygen to the cells of the body, and carrying waste materials away from those cells, the chemical composition of the blood must be carefully controlled. The kidneys play a crucial role in this process by filtering the blood under high pressure and removing potential toxins, which are excreted from the body in the urine. Every day the kidneys filter the body's entire blood volume seven or eight times. What is kidney failure? When the kidneys start to fail, toxins are not filtered out of the blood, and start accumulate in the tissues. This can lead to a range of problems. Build up of two waste products, urea and creatinine, can lead to tiredness, weakness, loss of appetite and vomiting.

58. Kidney Failure In Green Iguanas
    kidney failure in green iguanas. ©1996, 2002 Melissa Kaplan. What causes kidneyfailure in iguanas? Are there any signs when an iguana s kidneys are failing  
    http://www.anapsid.org/iguana/kidneyfailure.html
    
    Extractions: Iguanas in captivity are prone to this in a large part because people keep feeding them animal protein and do not give them enough access to water or humidity. Books that say to feed animal protein and only put down water once a week have not increased iguana longevity - quite the contrary: since the new iguana books came out in the early 1990's, it appears that kidney failure is striking at younger ages, with iguanas dying at 3-5 years rather that 7-9 years from it...and even that was far short of the 15-20+ years they should be living. Fed a proper plant-based diet, with regular access to water and spraying, iguana kidneys generally do just fine. With insufficient water, however, the kidneys have to strain to work. Add animal protein to such a 'dry' system, and the kidneys don't have a chance. The commercial food products of dry pellets or powders whose instructions state to feed dry are also likely to contribute to kidney problems, whether or not they have, as some do, animal protein in them. Many antibiotics are hard on the kidneys, and need to be administered in conjunction with additional fluids (by injection) to try to prevent harmful effects on the kidneys. Since there have been no widespread pharmacokinetic studies on green iguanas or other reptiles (although, at this time, some are now underway) all drugs and dosages have been extrapolated from those used on mammals. While we will eventually know what is safe to use at what dosages, etc., for now it is still part guess, part experience, and part luck. In the meantime, antibiotics remain a potential cause of kidney problems.
