1. INTRODUCTION
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in renal failure patients. The morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease is high and the presence of chronic kidney disease worsens outcomes of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease often begins before end-stage renal disease and patients with reduced kidney function are more likely to die of cardiovascular disease than to develop end-stage renal disease. 40-50% of all deaths in the end-stage renal disease population are of cardiovascular origin [1]. The majority of deaths among patients with predialysis kidney disease were due to cardiovascular disease (Wannamethee SG et al., 1997). The cardiovascular mortality risk is substantially higher …show more content…

Most patients with end-stage renal disease should have renal replacement therapy programme involving either peritoneal or hemodialysis. A unique feature of cardiovascular disease in patients with primary renal disease is that retarding or preventing progression of progressive renal disease will reduce cardiac risk. The second feature of specific importance in progressive renal disease is the role of volume dependent mechanisms involved in hypertension and heart failure. The most extreme example of this is seen in anuric patients on haemodialysis, who accumulate on average 2–3 litres of fluid between dialysis sessions. Hypertension in such patients is volume dependent, and high weight gains are also associated with the development of pulmonary oedema in susceptible individuals. Fluid retention increases progressively with deteriorating renal function and thus contributes to the development of heart failure and hypertension. The third unique feature is the nature of vascular disease in this population, which has led to scepticism about the adoption of treatments and treatment strategies proven in the general population. The characteristic feature of the vessels is calcification- to a large extent the result of hyperparathyroidism in renal disease in peripheral and coronary vessels (Allan J Collins et al., 2003). The extent to which atherosclerosis in such vessels differs from the general population and the efficacy of established treatments such as statins—remains uncertain and unproven. Finally the mode of death in advanced renal disease is atypical, classical myocardial infarction being relatively unusual and

Milton Larsen’s aging body will go through many physiologic changes, specifically the loss of elasticity in the connective tissue. Connective tissue affects many of the body organs through the normal aging process. In the case of Milton Larsen, he is diagnosed with hypertension and osteoarthritis, and both diseases can be associated with loss of elasticity in the connective tissue. Hypertension, termed the “silent killer” affects the cardiovascular system in many ways, with a notably, change in the arteries. The arteries loose elasticity causing a decrease

Dialysis is not only expensive, but also rough on patients and it is only a temporary solution. Essentially, since dialysis filters the blood through a machine, the patient is stuck living to that machine until there's an available organ. Due to the advances in medicine, kidney transplantation is the best option for the patient. Not only is it reliable, causing very few complications, it can help return the patient to their normal life. However, the lack of kidneys available for transplant caused 50,000 deaths worldwide.

We now have one or both kidneys that are swollen can cause discomfort why is the function of the kidney important? Because their job is to filtrate the waste products out of the blood. However, those toxins build up which is what causes some of the symptoms of acute pyelonephritis such as vomiting, nausea, and fever. Pyelonephritis can also lead to sepsis, which is when the bacteria enter the bloodstream

Christina Markevich 10/29/2015 Congestive Heart Failure What is Congestive Heart Failure? Congestive Heart Failure is something that occurs when the heart is no longer able to pump enough blood to the rest of the body, or when is just is not able to pump blood as well as it should. Some people happen to have either of these problems, some people have both.

Introduction: Chronic periodontitis (CP), the commonest type of periodontal disease, it is an infectious disease resulting in inflammation within of the tissues supporting the teeth, progressive loss of attachment and bone loss. It is closely related to several systemic diseases, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The link between periodontal disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be due to infection and inflammation. The periodontal inflammatory state may increases the chronic inflammation present in CKD, thus decreasing renal function. Periodontal therapy may reduce inflammation and improves endothelial function.

Module 9 Case Study Acute Renal Injury and Chronic Kidney Disease Will is a 68-year-old male with a history of hypertension. Eight months ago, he started regular dialysis therapy for ESRD. Before that, his physician was closely monitoring his condition because he had polyuria and nocturia. Soon it became difficult to manage his hypertension. He also lost his appetite, became weak, easily fatigued, and had edema around his ankles.

In terms of the pathogenesis, the causes are various and must be implicated in one or several primary diseases, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problem, infections, lupus, purpura, etc. Some of them will influence patient’s kidney function severely and result in kidney failure eventually, which is known as chronic kidney disease (CKD). Others can lead patients to have acute kidney injury (AKI) and cause severe reactions within a short time. During the treatment for renal parenchymal disease, to control the primary diseases is something necessary, but not

Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is a compromised physiologic state associated with numerous chronic diseases and health conditions including HTN, CHD, congestive heart failure, peripheral artery disease, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease.23 ED promotes apotosis24 leading to arterial stiffening25 that reduces the ability of the vasculature to buffer the increase in SBP generated by left ventricular ejection.26 ED is characterized by reduced bioavailability of vasodilators, particularly nitric oxide (NO), and/or increased vasoconstrictors such as endothelin.27 The resultant imbalance between vasodilation and vasoconstriction leads to an impairment in endothelium dependent vasodilation

The Effect of Differentially Expressed Genes on the Progression of Diabetic Nephropathy Keywords: diabetic nephropathy, type 2 diabetes My primary research interest is to understand how the body responds to damage caused by diet-induced obesity and diabetes, a prominent public health concern in contemporary society. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a chronic disorder that leads to irreparable damage in the kidney. Approximately 30-40% of diabetic patients will eventually develop DN, and 5% of type II diabetics already have kidney disease at the time of diagnosis 1 . In fact, in the United States, DN is the leading cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD, which requires renal dialysis or renal transplant), as 50% of patients are diabetic 2, 3 .

Although the prevalence of polydipsia among ill patients remains uncertain, therefore, this study helps to find the answers. Event though, the radiology image are be attained from the gray scale, however, the diagnosis outcomes will show the best diagnosis. This is because; based what is written by (Maroz et al. 2012) a renal ultrasonography aid in visualization of complete resolution of the hydronephrosis. In addition to it, the degree of hydronephrosis can be determined by the performing physician's interpretation of the on image produce as well as measure the size of the kidney where it may aid diagnosing etiology. (Peterson & Terris 2015) 1.4 Research question 1. Is there any presence of correlation between polydipsia and hydronephrosis?

Like on 12K, their population is usually renal failure to heart failure. The cardiac insult has led to the renal insult, and so there is a difference in medications they are using to repair the original problem.
