Renal failure leads to what blood condition?
Renal failure can lead to uremia. It is an increased level in the blood of urea and other nitrogenous waste compounds, which are normally excreted by the kidneys.
How NSAIDS cause renal failure?
NSAIDS can induce two forms of acute renal failure: 1. Haemodynamically mediated 2. Acute interstitial nephritis Haemodynamically mediated: Renal prostaglandins are vasodilators, but do not play a major role in renal haemodynamics in healthy patients and the basal rate is relatively low. When there is underlying disease, such as heart failure, cirrhosis or volume depletion, the levels of hormone: PGs are increased and they act as vasodilators to ensure adequate renal flow and GFR. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis with an NSAID in such patients can lead to reversible renal ischemia, a ↓ in GFR and acute renal failure. NSAIDs also produce interstitial nephritis with or without nephrotic syndrome secondary to minimal change disease. Although this presents as acute renal failure, it can progress in some cases to chronic renal failure. NSAIDs increase the risk of developing heart failure in patients with a history of HTN, DM or renal failure, particularly in the first month of use.
What are the possible health consequences of hypertension and arteriosclerosis?
Hypertension can lead to damaged glomerulus in the kidneys, which can lead to renal failure.
What is the health risk of milk?
Milk alkali syndrome-hypercalcimia which may lead to renal stones and calcification
Why does renal failure lead to hyperprolactinemia?
Renal failure and cirrhosis cause delayed clearance of prolactin as it is metabolized by both the kidney and liver the serum prolactin concentration is high in patients who have chronic renal failure and returns to normal after renal transplantation . The major mechanism is a three-fold increase in prolactin secretion, and there is a one-third decrease in metabolic clearance rate
What is the use of the acute nephritis?
Acute nephritis basically is another term for acute renal failure, or ARF. Some cases of kidney stones can lead to acute renal failure, until the stone is passed or extracted.
What is the prognosis for renal artery occlusion?
Once the blood supply is minimized or cut off to the kidney, tissue death soon results, ultimately leading to chronic kidney failure (end-stage renal disease).
If you have chronic kidney failure can you recover?
This is a long term condition which people can live with for a number of years. The only way you could 'recover' - i.e. be free of this disease, is to have a kidney transplant which may fail and requires taking 'anti-rejection' drugs for the rest of your life. The short answer is yes but only if you're lucky enough to get a transplant!
What is the medical term meaning the loss of renal function which may be acute or current and lead to uremia?
Kidney failure is the medical term meaning loss of renal function. It may also be called end stage renal disease late in the process.
How do you differentiate between acute renal failure and chronic renal failure?
Acute renal failure is a rapid and sudden loss of kidney function, often caused by factors like dehydration or medication reactions. Chronic renal failure is a gradual and irreversible decline in kidney function over time, usually causing irreversible damage to the kidneys. Measurements of kidney function such as creatinine levels and glomerular filtration rate can help differentiate between the two conditions.
Can fanconi syndrome lead to cancer?
does fanconi syndrome lead to cancer
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.
