Although hypothyroidism this is a site in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone -which is common in haemodialysis (Kidney) patients, it's unclear how it affects their health and quality of life. Increase of thyrotrophic levels may effect multiple areas of health-related quality of life, including energy/fatigue, physical function, and pain. "Given the high prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and low levels of quality of life in dialysis patients, many research is needed to determine the underlying mechanisms of these associations, and whether replacement of thyroid hormone can improve the health-related quality of life of this population.” In addition, as the first study in dialysis patients to document an association between higher thyrotropin levels and low levels of physical function, a strong predictor of death, future studies are needed to determine whether correction of thyroid status with exogenous thyroid hormone can improve physical functio...

With diabetes, the small blood vessels in the body are injured. When the blood vessels in the kidneys are injured, your kidneys cannot clean your blood properly. Your body will retain more water and salt than it should, which can result in weight gain and ankle swelling. You may have protein in your urine. Also, waste materials will build up in your blood. Diabetes also may cause damage to nerves in your body. This can cause difficulty in emptying your bladder. The pressure resulting from your full bladder can back up and injure the kidneys. Also, if urine remains in your bladder for a long time, you can develop an infection from the rapid growth of bacteria in urine that has a high sugar level. Early signs of kidney disease in patients with diabetes: The earliest sign of diabetic kidney disease is an increased excretion of albumin in the urine. This is present long before the usual tests done in your doctor's office show evidence of kidney disease, so it is important for y...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) means your kidneys are damaged and can't filter blood the way they should. The disease is called “chronic” because the damage to your kidneys happens slowly over a long period of time. This damage can cause wastes to build up in your body. Diabetes and high blood pressure are the most common causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Your health care provider will look at your health history and may do tests to find out why you have kidney disease. The cause of your kidney disease may affect the type of treatment you receive. There's no cure for chronic kidney disease (CKD), but treatment can help relieve the symptoms and stop it getting worse. Your treatment will depend on the stage of your CKD. The main treatments are: lifestyle changes – to help you stay as healthy as possible. 3 Warning Signs That You May Be Experiencing Kidney Failure ·          Dizziness and Fatigue. One of the first possible signs of weakeni...

Being overweight can directly affect your kidneys, too. Extra weight forces the kidneys to work harder and filter wastes above the normal level. Over time, this extra work increases the risk for kidney disease. Recent research shows that weight control may also preserve kidney function, and that it can also help improve heart health. Losing as little as 10 pounds can help control high blood pressure and reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease . Obesity is a potent risk factor for the development of kidney disease. It increases the risk of developing major risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD), like diabetes and hypertension , and it has a direct impact on the development of CKD and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Moreover, obesity causes kidney disease in CKD and can also accelerate the loss of kidney function in patients with various primary renal diseases and decompensated renal function, such as IgA glomerulonephritis, kidney transplantation and diabetic nephropath...

Water is one of the most important ways of preventing kidney stones, in fact. " The more water you drink, the more diluted your urine will be ," says Dr. Morgan. "This means that the concentration of calcium and other minerals in your urine will be less, reducing the chance of stone formation. Drinking about three liters of water per day to help your kidney stones pass on their own. Even when you drink sufficient water, however, kidney stones don't dissolve overnight. In fact, even small stones can take weeks to months to pass. Y ou can also drink ginger ale, lemon-lime sodas, and fruit juices . Drink enough liquids throughout the day to make at least 2 quarts (2 liters) of urine every 24 hours. Drink enough to have light-coloured urine. Water helps the kidneys remove wastes from your blood in the form of urine. Water also helps keep your blood vessels open so that blood can travel freely to your kidneys, and deliver essential nutrients to them. But if you be...

Diets high in salt are high in sodium, which can increase blood pressure and, in turn, harm your kidneys.   People should consume around 2300 mg to maintain healthy blood pressure. For individuals with kidney disease or high blood pressure, 1500 mg may be more appropriate. Speak with your healthcare team to determine how much sodium is safe for you. The sodium and fluid can build up in your body, causing your blood pressure to rise and increasing damage to your kidneys. If you have CKD or require dialysis , your doctor or your renal dietitian may advise you to follow a low-sodium diet that includes limiting salt and other sodium-containing ingredients. It is found that rock salt, commonly known as Sendha Namak is best suited for patients suffering from kidney disease. Our experimental results demonstrate that  Saindha salt (commonly known as rock salt)  is more beneficial than other edible salts for patients suffering from chronic kidney disease . High dietary salt ...

Virtual cross transplantation of kidney may safe and effective way to the patient, this is the process of two years implementation. This is technique was just accurate and sensitive to cross match the physically and internally body balance. The present standard of the medical field to virtual cross matching to reduced the time of transplantation and also keep awaiting identification of suitable and improved scheduling for  surgeons . The immune system of the organ donor and an intended compatibility as blood donor, the main important role plays the blood while transplantation. Therefore the virtual transplantation of the kidney applies the recipients serum of the micro beads that detects signals process which does not reveal donor and receiver an actual reaction between donor and receiver can specialized to anti-react bodies can may also react The process of this reaction forecast the death of the patient. Whenever the physical mismatch of the donor and receiver may causes the side...

Often, pregnancy does not cause a  kidney disorder  to worsen. Usually, kidney disorders worsen only in pregnant women who have high blood pressure that is not well-controlled. If pregnant women have a kidney disorder, they are more likely to develop high blood pressure, including preeclampsia (a type of high blood pressure that develops during pregnancy) Having a before becoming pregnant increases the risk that the fetus will not grow as much as  chronic kidney disorder  expected or be stillborn. Having a severe kidney disorder usually prevents women from carrying a baby to term. In pregnant women who have a kidney disorder, kidney function and blood pressure are monitored closely, as is growth of the fetus. If the kidney disorder is severe, women may need to be hospitalized after 28 weeks of pregnancy so that bed rest is guaranteed, blood pressure can be controlled well, and the fetus can be monitored closely. Women who have had a kid...

Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is the therapy that follows normal blood-filtering function of the kidneys. It is used once the kidneys don't seem to be operating well that is termed as renal failure and it includes acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Renal replacement medical aid includes dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), hemofiltration, and hemodiafiltration that measure numerous ways of filtration of blood with or with not machines. Renal replacement medical aid conjointly includes kidney transplantation, which is the final variety of replacement in this; the previous kidney is replaced by a donor kidney. Renal replacement therapy is indicated, when the kidney briefly or persistently loses its function to remove toxins, metabolites , and water from the body. It is also used in some specific cases of poisoning/overdose when the kidney cannot clear the toxin fast enough. There are three main modalities used to replace the renal function: dialysis (eith...

Dialysis  is the process of removing excess water and toxins from the blood of the patients. whose kidneys can no longer perform. Appropriately, kidneys forestall additional water, squander, and different pollutants from aggregating in your body. They likewise assist in control of blood pressure and direct the degrees of substance components in the blood. These components may incorporate sodium and potassium. Your kidneys even enact a type of vitamin D that improves the ingestion of calcium.  At certain point when your kidneys can't play out these capacities because of ailment or injury, dialysis can help keep the body running under certain circumstances. Without dialysis, salts and other waste items will amass in the blood, poison the body, and harm different organs.  Most people are suffering from kidney disease and one million people die every year because of kidney disease. It has been found that every year   approximately 17500 people suffer from the end st...

Kidney stones form when your urine contains more crystal-forming substances such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid than the fluid in your urine can dilute. At the same time, your urine may lack substances that prevent crystals from sticking together, creating an ideal environment for kidney stones to form. Possible causes include drinking too little water, exercise (too much or too little), obesity , weight loss surgery, or eating food with too much salt or sugar. Infections and family history might be important in some people. Eating too much fructose correlates with increasing risk of developing a kidney stone. Kidney stones are usually found in the kidneys or in the ureter, the tube that connects the kidneys to your bladder. They can be extremely painful, and can lead to kidney infections or the kidney not working properly if left untreated. It is important to be mindful of the following foods that can lead to the formation of kidney stones in certain people: foods high in sodi...

Artificial kidney is made up of a semi-permeable membrane which allows only selected particles to pass through. This semi-permeable membrane filters out the waste materials and excess water from the blood. Every dialyzer /artificial kidney has 2 compartments, in one compartment blood flows whereas in other compartment electrolyte solution flows which we call as “Dialysate”. The semi-permeable membrane keeps the 2 compartments apart. The membrane and the compartments are housed in a cylindrical plastic case which holds the artificial kidney together and forms pathways for blood and dialysate to flow in and out. How does Artificial Kidney work? During dialysis treatment, the patient’s bl ood with a high level of water and waste materials flows through the blood compartment. Dialysate an electrolyte solution flows through the dialysate compartment on the other side of the membrane. The semi-permeable membrane allows only selective particles to pass through it so the majority of exc...
