When is Acid-Ash diet prescribed?
Kidney stone formation can be affected by the pH of urine in people who have a history of forming stones. If you've had kidney stones that contained phosphorus, a low-phosphorus diet may have been recommended, as well as a diet that produces "acid ash." Foods that produce "acid ash" include cheese as well as whole grains, meat, eggs, cranberries, prunes and plums. Struvite stones (those that contain the compound called magnesium ammonium phosphate) also call for a diet low in phosphorous and one that produces an acid ash.

Acute arterial occlusion - kidney?
DefinitionAcute arterial occlusion of the kidney is a sudden, severe blockage of the artery that supplies blood to the kidney.Alternative NamesAcute renal arterial thrombosis; Renal artery embolism; Acute renal artery occlusion; Embolism - renal arteryCauses, incidence, and risk factorsThe kidneys are very sensitive to the amount of blood that flows through them. Any reduction of blood flow through the renal artery can impair kidney function. If prolonged, a complete blockage of blood flow to the kidney often results in permanent kidney failure.Acute arterial occlusion of the kidney can occur after injury or trauma to the abdomen, side, or occasionally the back. Blood clots that travel through the bloodstream (emboli) can lodge in the renal artery.The risk of emboli increases in people who have a history of certain heart disorders such as mitral stenosis or atrial fibrillation. Individuals with disorders that make them highly likely to form clots may be especially likely to develop acute renal artery occlusions.Occasionally, renal artery stenosis can increase the risk of a sudden occlusion because a clot forms.SymptomsWhen one kidney doesn't function, you may not have symptoms because the second kidney adequately filters the blood. Some people develop high blood pressure (hypertension), however.If the other kidney is not functioning, blockage of the renal artery may cause symptoms of acute kidney failure:Abdominal painAbrupt decrease in urine outputBack painBlood in the urineFlank pain or pain in the sideNote: There may be no pain. Pain, if it is present, usually develops suddenly.Signs and testsThe doctor will likely not be able to identify the problem by simply examining you, unless you've had the disorder long enough to cause kidney failure.Tests include:MRI or renal scan shows lack of blood flow to the affected kidneyRenal arteriography shows the exact location of the occlusionTreatmentOften, patients need no specific treatment. Blood clots may get better on their own over time.If the blockage is discovered within a few hours of its occurrence, or if the affected kidney is the only functional kidney, attempts may be made to open the artery.Attempts to open the artery may include use of clot-dissolving medications (thrombolytics) and medications that prevent the blood from clotting (anticoagulants), such as Coumadin.Some people may need to have the artery surgically repaired, or the blockage removed with a tube, called a catheter, inserted into the artery.Treatment for acute kidney failure may be appropriate.Expectations (prognosis)Damage caused by arterial occlusion may be temporary, but it is usually permanent.If only one kidney is affected, the healthy kidney may take over filtering and urine production. In cases where there is only one functional kidney, arterial occlusion leads to acute kidney failure that often persists as chronic kidney failure.ComplicationsAcute kidney failureChronic kidney failureEnd-stage renal diseaseHigh blood pressureMalignant hypertensionRenal artery stenosisCalling your health care providerCall your health care provider if you stop producing urine, or if you feel sudden, severe pain in the back, flank, or abdomen.If you have only one functional kidney and you have symptoms of acute arterial occlusion, go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number, such as 911.PreventionIn many cases the disorder is not preventable. The most important way to reduce your risk is to stop smoking.Preventive use of anticoagulants may be recommended for people with a high risk of developing emboli, such as those with mitral stenosis, atrial fibrillation, or blood clotting disorders. Controlling diseases related to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) may reduce your risk.ReferencesKanso AA, Hassan NMA, Badr KF. Microvascular and macrovascular diseases of the kidney.
