You are right that there are two types of kidney disease, acute and chronic. Sometimes it is hard to tell which type a dog has. Chronic renal failure (kidney disease) is most common in an older animal. This is what happens when the kidneys just get old and don't work well and eventu...
There are multiple types of nephritis. It can be either acute or chronic. Chronic nephritis happens silently over several years and is a leading cause ofkidney failure. Acute nephritis develops suddenly and could be linked to throat or skin infections that require antibiotics. Acute nephritis can ...
Two kidney disorders with similar names but different circumstances are kidney cysts and polycystic kidney disease. Kidney cysts Kidney cysts are round pouches of fluid that form on or in the kidneys. Kidney cysts can occur with disorders that may impairkidney function. But more often, kidney cyst...
CHRONIC kidney failureCYSTATIN CGLOMERULAR filtration ratePurpose: The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on creatinine is crucial for the risk assessment of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI). In recent, the difference between cystatin C-based eGFR (eGFRcys) and...
While lifestyle changes are crucial in managing kidney disease, medication is often necessary to address specific conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and to manage symptoms or complications of CKD. 4 Can a nephrologist help prevent kidney failure? Yes, nephrologists specialize in early detection and...
Mike is currently in the end-stage of renal (kidney) failure due to Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (“IgA”). IgAN is a condition that Mike has had for many years that damages the inside of his kidneys (the glomeruli) and causes kidney disease. Because of this condition, Mike has been batt...

However, longer-term outcomes, namely mortality (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.55-1.04]) and graft failure (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.90 [95% CI, 0.70-1.15]), were similar between the groups and kidney function was comparable at 6 and 12 months. 展开 ...
Proteinuria is a conventional therapeutic target, particularly in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) because proteinuria or albuminuria is associated with an increased risk of progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and all-cause mortality1,2. In clinical practice, proteinuria is commonly...
