How do you get Kidney disease?
Kidney failure can occur from an acute situation or from chronic problems.In acute renal failure, kidney function is lost rapidly and can occur from a variety of insults to the body. The list of causes is often categorized based on where the injury has occurred.Prerenal causes (pre=before + renal=kidney) causes are due to decreased blood supply to the kidney. Examples of prerenal causes of kidney failure are:hypovolemia (low blood volume) due to blood loss;dehydration from loss of body fluid (for example, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, fever);poor intake of fluids;medication, for example, diuretics ("water pills") may cause excessive water loss; andabnormal blood flow to and from the kidney due to obstruction of the renal artery or vein.Renal causes of kidney failure (damage directly to the kidney itself) include:Sepsis: The body's immune system is overwhelmed from infection and causes inflammation and shutdown of the kidneys. This usually does not occur with urinary tract infections.Medications: Some medications are toxic to the kidney, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen. Others potentially toxic medications include antibiotics like aminoglycosides [gentamicin (Garamycin), tobramycin], lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid), iodine-containing medications such as those injected for radiology dye studies.Rhabdomyolysis: This is a situation in which there is significant muscle breakdown in the body, and the damaged muscle fibers clog the filtering system of the kidneys. this can occur because of trauma, crush injuries, and burns. Some medications used to treat high cholesterol can cause rhabdomyolysis.Multiple myelomaAcute glomerulonephritis or inflammation of the glomeruli, the filtering system of the kidneys. Many diseases can cause this inflammation including systemic lupus erythematosus, Wegener's granulomatosis, and Goodpasture syndrome.Post renal causes of kidney failure (post=after + renal= kidney) are due to factors that affect outflow of the urine:Obstruction of the bladder or the ureters can cause back pressure because the kidneys continue to produce urine, but the obstruction acts like a dam, and urine backs up into the kidneys. When the pressure increases high enough, the kidneys are damaged and shut down.Prostatic hypertrophy or prostate cancer may block the urethra and prevents the bladder from emptying.Tumors in the abdomen that surround and obstruct the ureters.Kidney stones. Usually, kidney stones affect only one kidney and do not cause kidney failure. However, if there is only one kidney present, a kidney stone may cause the lone kidney to fail.Chronic renal failure develops over months and years. The most common causes of chronic renal failure are related to:poorly controlled Diabetes,poorly controlled high blood pressure, andchronic glomerulonephritis.Less common causes of chronic renal failure include:polycystic kidney disease,reflux nephropathy,kidney stones, andprostate disease.

What is acute withdrawal?
Acute withdrawal is a group of symptoms of an addictive disease that occur as a result of the cessation of addictive chemicals like drugs or alcohol. Acute withdrawal should not be confused with PAW or PAWS which is post-acute withdrawal or post-acute withdrawal symptoms.
How glomerulonephritis cause renal failure?
Yes it can but not always. There are several pathological patterns of glomerulonephritis grouped into proliferative and non-proliferative types. The prognosis and treatment of each is different and very dependent on whether the disease is a primary or secondary type. That is to say internal to the kidney or external; post infection/viral/bacterial/drugs/diabeties etc.Generally, Acute Renal Failure is caused by the rapid injury on kidneys. The causes are as following:1. Hypovolemia: serious loss of blood volume may lead to Renal Failure.2. Abnormal blood circulation:Abnormal circulation may lead to obstruction of renal artery or vein, thus causing ischemia state, then aggravate injury on kidneys;3. Drug abuse:Due to kidneys are the main organ for eliminating toxins, most drugs will do harm to kidneys. For example, some patients with kidney disease take large amounts of diuretics which will cause the excessive loss of water, which may lead to Acute Renal Failure.Comparing with Acute Renal Failure, causes of Chronic Renal Failure are complicated.1. Common disease:There are two kinds of disease may lead to Renal Failure. On one hand, kidney disease may develop into Renal Failure. Chronic glomerulonephritis is one of the common cause and including IgA Nephropathy, Mesangial Proliferative Glomerulonephritis and focal segmental sclerosing glomerulonephritis, etc. In addition, polycystic kidney disease,reflux nephropathy, kidney stones and prostate disease can also cause Renal Failure.On the other hand, other disease can also cause Renal Failure, such as poorly controlled diabetes, Hypertension and so on.2. Infectious nephropathy:Chronic Pyelonephritis, nephrotuberculosis, etc. Serious infection may lead to Renal Failure while patients with Renal Failure should also pay attention to avoiding infection.3. Accumulation of ECM:Eextracellular matrix (ECM) is not easily to be degraded, so the abundant deposition and of ECM will replace nephrons, thus leading continuous glomerulus sclerosis.4. Gene factors:Polycystic Kidney Disease and Alport syndrome are the main kidney disease relating with gene. Patients with family history of kidney disease should treat the disease timely to avoid Renal Failure.5. Others:ureteral obstruction,vasculitis, Multiple Myeloma and so on can also cause injury on kidneys, thus leading to the occurrence of Renal Failure.
What is post acute care?
Post Acute care is comprised of the health care services that one may receive after a stay in an acute care hospital. The services may include stays in a Long Term Acute Hospital, Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilty or Skilled Nursing Facility. In additiona, post acute care may be delivered at an outpatient facility or by a Home Health Agency. In the United States, approximately 40% of people that are medicare eligible will receive post acute care after being hospitalized.
What are the symptoms of Serum syndrome?
Hyperkalemia. Potassium is mainly an intracellular ion. High turnover of tumor cells leads to spill of potassium into the blood. Symptoms usually do not manifest until levels are high and they include * cardiac conduction abnormalities (can be fatal) * severe muscle weakness or paralysis Hyperphosphatemia. Like potassium, phosphates are also predominantly intracellular. Hyperphosphatemia causes acute renal failure in tumor lysis syndrome, because of deposition of calcium phosphate crystals in the renal parenchyma. Hypocalcemia. Because of the hyperphosphatemia, calcium is precipitated to form calcium phosphate, leading to hypocalcemia. Symptoms of hypocalcemia include (but are not limited to): * tetany * seizures * mental retardation / dementia * parkinsonian (extrapyramidal) movement disorders * papilledema * emotional instability / agitation / anxiety * myopathy Hyperuricemia[2] and Hyperuricosuria. Acute uric acid nephropathy (AUAN) due to hyperuricosuria has been a dominant cause of acute renal failure but with the advent of effective treatments for hyperuricosuria, AUAN has become a less common cause than hyperphosphatemia. Two common conditions related to excess uric acid, gout and uric acid nephrolithiasis, are not features of tumor lysis syndrome. Pretreatment spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome. This entity is associated with acute renal failure due to uric acid nephropathy prior to the institution of chemotherapy and is largely associated with lymphomas and leukemias. The important distinction between this syndrome and the post-chemotherapy syndrome is that spontaneous TLS is not associated with hyperphosphatemia. One suggestion for the reason of this is that the high cell turnover rate leads to high uric acid levels through nucleobase turnover but the tumor reuses the released phosphate for growth of new tumor cells. In post-chemotherapy TLS, tumor cells are destroyed and no new tumor cells are being synthesized.

What causes hyperphosphatemia in dogs?
Hyperphosphatemia ---- * Spurious Hyperphosphatemia1) Hemolysis: Hemolysis or prolonged contact of serum with cells in the blood sample causes movement of phosphate from the red cells into serum and can raise the Pi result.2) Post-prandial: A mild increase occurs after eating.3) Monoclonal gammopathy: Hyperphosphatemia can be observed in monoclonal gammopathies, due to binding of phosphate to the monoclonal protein.* Decreased excretion1) Decreased GFR: This is the most common cause of hyperphosphatemia. Many animals that are azotemic are also hyperphosphatemic. Acute and severe reduction in GFR, as in acute renal failure or severe hypovolemia, is more likely to result in hyperphosphatemia than is chronic renal failure.2) Hypoparathyroidism: Phosphate is retained whilst calcium is lost in the urine due to lack of PTH.3) Acromegaly: Growth hormone promotes retention of phosphate.4) Hyperthyroidism: Phosphate is increased in up to 21% of hyperthyroid cats.* Increased absorption1) Hypervitaminosis D: This produces hyperphosphatemia as well as hypercalcemia.2) Increased intake: Ingestion of excess phosphate (nutritional hyperparathyroidism) or administration of phosphate containing fluids or compounds. Use of hypertonic phosphate enemas (Fleet) in cats has been recognized to cause extreme hyperphosphatemia through absorption of phosphate. Hypernatremia, hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, and high anion gap metabolic acidosis are additional abnormalities. Affected cats can die. Morbidity and mortality resulting from use of Fleet enemas is increased by prolonged retention of the hypertonic phosphate, mucosal defects enhancing absorption, and pre-existing abnormalities in water and electrolyte balance. This product should be administered to cats with extreme caution if used at all.* Transcellular shifts1) Acute tumor lysis syndrome: This results in high phosphate, high potassium, high uric acid and low calcium. Animals often die of acute oliguric renal failure.2) Severe soft tissue trauma: This can also result in increased phosphate as phosphate is higher intracellularly than extracellularly, e.g. rhabdomyolysis.
