Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is due to a gradual, and usually, permanent loss of kidney function. Chronic kidney disease may progress over time without any symptoms until the function of the kidneys is very minimal. When symptoms do occur, they include f
Short stature is common among children with advanced kidney disease; its pathogenesis is multifactorial (Box 7.10). From an endocrine point of view, growth is a complex process involving primarily growth hormone (GH), but it is also dependent upon normal adrenal, thyroid and sex hormone function...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD)—or chronic renal failure (CRF), as it was historically termed—is a term that encompasses all degrees of decreased renal function, from damaged–at risk through mild, moderate, and severe chronic kidney failure. CKD is a wor
this process of glomerulosclerosis, once again, diminishes the nephron’s ability to filter the blood and leads to chronic kidney disease.Although diabetes and hypertension are responsible for the vast majority of CKD cases, there are other systemic diseases like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, can ...
慢性肾脏病(chronic kidney disease,CKD)是指肾脏损害和(或)GFR下降[<60ml/(min·1.73m2)]超过3个月。 一、临床表现 CKD不同阶段临床表现各不相同,在CKD1期和2期,患者可无任何症状,或仅有轻微乏力、腰酸和夜尿增多等;少数患者有食欲缺乏、轻度贫血等。CKD3期后,上述症状可加重,可出现高血压、心衰、酸碱平衡...
(eg, glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, and tubulointerstitial disease) that cause progressive renal damage and loss of function. The rate of progression in referred CKD varies depending on the specific disease process. Diabetic nephropathy typically shows a rapid decline in GFR, averaging around ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly prevalent and has major health consequences for patients. Caring for patients with CKD requires knowledge of the food supply, renal pathophysiology, and nutrition-related medications used to work synergistically with diet to control the signs and symptoms of the...
Care guide for Chronic Kidney Disease (Inpatient Care). Includes: possible causes, signs and symptoms, standard treatment options and means of care and support.
To evaluate the performance of the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in type 2 diabetic patients with GFR >60 mL/min/1.73 m2. This was a cross-sectional study including 105 type 2 diabetic patients. GFR was measured...
