Although all medically assisted reproduction techniques can be used for chronic kidney disease patients, caution is warranted. Inducing a twin pregnancy should be avoided; the risk of bleeding, thrombosis and infection should be considered, especially in some categories of patients. In most cases, ...
Overall, patients of both sexes with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have lower fertility than the general population [3,4]. In women with CKD, the causes of reduced fertility are only partially understood, but are likely to include the combination of endocrine abnormalities leading to ovulation def...
Slowing the progression of kidney disease If the cause of the CKD can be identified, it should of course be treated appropriately. Care must be taken to avoid conditions that may accelerate the decline in renal function, for example dehydration and infection (seeBox 7.6). ...
There are many potential causes of CKD in sub-Saharan Africa, making kidney disease especially burdensome in the region. In addition to non-communicable diseases, communicable diseases such as infectious glomerulonephritis, schistosomiasis, leishmaniasis, and HIV infection are common and can cause CKD....
They include nephrolithiasis, benign prostatic hyperplasia in men, ureter infiltration by tumors of the reproductive organs in women, kidney tumors, or neurogenic urinary bladder. Patients with alcoholic liver disease seem to have an increased risk of renal papillary necrosis that, after sequestration, ...
The proportion of women with predialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) is higher than that of men; this difference is likely due to the longer life expectancy of women and possibly to CKD overdiagnosis with use of estimated glomerular filtration rate equations Kidney function declines faster in men...
Kidney Function and the Development of Chronic Kidney Disease Most Common Chronic Kidney Disease Causes and Contributors Symptoms of Chronic Kidney Disease How Is Chronic Kidney Disease Diagnosed and Monitored? The Many Complications of Chronic Kidney Disease Management of Chronic Kidney Disease Novel & ...
Many hormonal abnormalities occur in women with CKD, such as lack of pulsatile luteinizing hormone release and consequently anovulation and infertility. The frequency of reported SD in females increases as kidney disease progresses. Sexual function can be assessed in women, using the 9-item Female ...
Additional research is needed to determine the role of SGLT2i in improving kidney outcomes in patients with T1D, among whom diabetic ketoacidosis is more common, and post-transplant, in which case immunosuppression may modify infection risks.66 Consensus statement Use of additional glucose-lowering ...
