Nephrology is a branch of medicine that deals with the diseases of
the kidneys and bladders and it focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of Nephrology diseases. The kidneys are paired retroperitoneal organs that lie at the
level of the T12 to L3 vertebral bodies. The kidney has a fibrous capsule, which
is surrounded by Para renal fat. The kidney itself can be divided into renal
parenchyma, consisting of renal
cortex and medulla, and the renal sinus containing renal pelvis, calyces, renal vessels, nerves,
lymphatic and per renal fat. This renal parenchyma has two layers: cortex and
medulla. The renal cortex lies peripherally under the capsule while the renal
medulla consists of 10-14 renal pyramids, which are separated from each other
by an extension of renal cortex called renal columns. The kidneys serve
important functions, including filtration and excretion of metabolic waste
products (urea and ammonium); regulation of necessary electrolytes, fluid, and
acid-base balance; and stimulation of red blood cell production. They also
serve to regulate blood pressure via the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system,
controlling reabsorption of water and maintaining intravascular volume. The
kidneys also reabsorb glucose and amino acids and have hormonal functions via
erythropoietin, calcitriol, and vitamin D activation.

Clinical Nephrology is a specialty of medicine and pediatrics that
concerns itself with the study of normal kidney function, Nephrology diseases,
the treatment of Nephrology diseases and renal
transplantation therapy (dialysis
and kidney transplantation). Kidneys play a vital role for life with their
complex network of blood vessels and intricate network of tubes and tubules
that filter blood of its waste products and excess water. Kidneys maintain
fluids, electrolytes, and acid-base regulation that are altered by kidney disease conditions as well as drugs and toxins. Nephrology disease
deals with study of the normal working of the kidneys as well as its diseases.
Kidney infections, Cancers of the kidneys, bladder, and urethra, Effects of
diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure on kidneys, Acid base
imbalances, Nephrotic
syndrome and nephritis, Ill effects of drugs and toxins on the kidneys, Dialysis and its
long term complications - dialysis includes hemodialysis as well as peritoneal
dialysis, Autoimmune diseases including autoimmune vasculitis, lupus,
etc. Polycystic kidneys diseases where large cysts or fluid filled sacs are
formed within the kidney impairing its functions - this is a congenital and
inherited or genetic condition.

In the pediatric and neonatal intensive care units Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication where Renal
transplantation therapy is
frequently implemented in children in whom the supportive therapy is not to the
mark to touch the metabolic demands. In majority, peritoneal dialysis is more
preferred for children in the times of renal transplantation because of the
non-complexity of the procedure. In most of the pediatric end stage renal nephrology disease, peritoneal nephrology dialysis is more preferred as it can be done even in home.

Diabetic nephrology is typically defined by macro albuminuria that is, a urinary
albumin excretion of more than 300 mg in a 24-hour collection—or macro
albuminuria and abnormal renal nephrology function as represented by an abnormality in serum creatinine,
calculated creatinine clearance, or glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Patients with all types of nephrology disease
and hypertension. This includes kidney stones, chronic or acute nephrology diseases due to any cause, resistant or secondary hypertension,
unexplained proteinuria or hematuria, cystic nephrology diseases, inherited
kidney diseases, fluid and electrolyte homeostasis abnormalities, pregnancy
related to nephrology diseases, vascular kidney
diseases, nephritic syndrome,
glomerulonephritis, and others. High blood pressure (also called hypertension)
occurs when the force of your blood against your artery walls increases enough
to cause damage. For people who have diabetes or chronic kidney disease, blood pressure of 130/80 is more considered high. Have a family
history of high blood pressure. Your chances of developing high blood pressure
may be increased if you have chronic nephrology disease Are overweight
and Are African American. Use more table salt and eat a lot of packaged or fast
foods, take birth control pills, Have diabetes, Use illegal drugs, Drink large
amounts of alcohol (beer, wine, or liquor). Some types of kidney failure may
cause high blood pressure. More often it is high blood pressure that causes
nephrology diseases.

Kidney stones are otherwise called as a “Nephrolith” or “Renal calculus”,
which are formed in the urine due to the accumulation of excessive minerals.
One cannot confine stones to form only in the kidney but there are many cases
where the formation of stones included urethra, bladder and ureters. In 2013,
49 million cases of kidney stones have been reported. As a result around 15,000
were dead throughout the world. The preliminary symptoms of kidney stone
presence include the unbearable pain in the area between the abdomen and the
upper thigh on either side of the body or between the ribs and the hip which is
referred to as Renal
Colic.

The most common form of kidney transplantation therapy is
dialysis, is a way of cleaning the blood with artificial kidneys. There is of
types of dialysis they are:
1. Hemodialysis 2. Peritoneal dialysis.
Hemodialysis: Hemodialysis required with the patients of kidney failure. In
this process of hemodialysis, an artificial kidney purifies blood. We should
make an "access," usually in the forearm where blood can easily be
taken from the body and sent to the artificial kidney for purification. The
access collects blood from patient body and undergoes purification in
artificial kidney and again injected the purified blood in to patient body.
Peritoneal dialysis: In peritoneal dialysis no artificial kidney is used. The
peritoneum (lining inside your abdomen) is used as a filter instead of
artificial kidney. Peritoneal dialysis is of two types they are continuous
cycling peritoneal dialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
Peritoneal dialysis is used in kidney failure patients.

End-stage kidney disease is also known as the end-stage renal
disease (ESRD). ESRD is mostly caused by diabetes and hypertension. The kidneys of people having ESRD function below 10 percent of
their normal ability, which may mean they are barely functioning or not functioning.
Kidney disease is generally progressive. The length of each stage
changes and depends on how the kidney disease is being treated, especially in
relation to diet. Chronic kidney disease typically does not reach the end stage until 10 to 20 years
after dignosis.The treatments for ESRD include dialysis or a kidney transplant.

Acute renal failure, previously called acute kidney injury (AKI), is a sudden and
unexpected loss of kidney function that develops within a week. Acute renal
failure (formerly known as acute kidney injury) is a disease distinguished by
the acute loss of the kidney's eliminatory function and is commonly diagnosed
through the accumulation of urea and creatinine or reduced urine output, or
both. Acute kidney injury may lead to a number of kidney problems, including
high potassium levels, metabolic acidosis, changes in body fluid balance,
uremia, also effects on other body systems ultimately leads to death. People
who have experienced acute kidney injury may have high incidence of
chronic kidney disease in the future. Controlling measures includes treatment of
the root cause and supportive care, such as kidney transplantation.

The Kidney is the most commonly transplanted organ from a living
donor and the decreased donor transplantation is a transplant where the donated
kidney takes from died person. Immunosuppressive medications that help
suppress the immune system. Pediatric kidney transplantation is accepted as the treatment option for
children with final stage of renal disease. HLA and ABO incompatible
transplantations conduct in end-stage kidney disease individuals. Hyper acute
rejection usually takes place within the first 24 hours after transplantation.
Chronic acute kidney rejection occurs months to years following
transplantation. Nephrology
treatment will depend on the
stage of kidney diseases. Stages one, two and three can usually be treated.
Treatment involves making changes to the lifestyle and, in some cases, taking
medication to control the blood pressure and lower your blood cholesterol
levels. This should help prevent further damage to the kidneys and
circulation. Immunologic deregulation leads to the development of autoimmune diseases both limited to the kidney or as part of systemic illness.
These include primary glomerular diseases and interstitial nephritis.

Kidney cancer (also called renal adenocarcinoma or renal cell cancer) is a disease in which cancer cells are found in the lining of
tubules in the kidney. We have two kidneys, behind the peritoneum one on each
side of the spinal cord, just above the waist. Small tubules in the kidneys
purify the blood. Unabsorbed products formed as urine. The formed urine passes
in to bladder through long tube called bladder. The urine stored in bladder
until leaves from body through urethra. Kidney cancer perhaps remains
clinically occult for most of its course. Immunomodulatory agents and targeted
therapy are the standard of care in metastatic disease patients. Kidney cancer:
The most common malignant disease affecting kidney is kidney cancer. One of the
most common causes for kidney cancer is smoking.

Nephropathy is kidney disease or damage. Diabetic nephropathy is damage to the kidneys
caused by diabetes. In severe cases it can also lead to kidney failure. The
causes of diabetic nephropathy include high blood sugar, advanced glycation end
product formation.
The problem is diagnosed using tests that check for a protein
called albumin in the urine. Urine does not usually contain protein. But in the
early stages of kidney damage some protein may be found in the urine, because
the kidneys do not filter it out the way they should.

Onco nephrology is an emerging subspecialty of nephrology. The
American Society of Nephrology (ASN) created a forum dedicated to the field of
onconephrology in 2011 to improve collaborative care for cancer patients
with kidney disease. Randomized controlled trials in a subspecialty like onco
nephrology can only be possible when there is collaboration amongst
nephrologists and cancer physicians from cancer centers around the world that interact and share
research ideas at international meetings. This has led nephrologists to
encounter new and partially unrecognized treatments of the targeted therapy
agents with kidney adverse effects. These agents fall mainly into 2 categories
affecting the vascular endothelial growth factor and endothelial growth factor
pathways. An exciting era in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer has emerged
in the last 2 decades. What was once an often deadly disease has, for many
patients, become a chronic disease with longer survival than ever before.
However, with the prolongation of life there are further associated
complications, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD). This disease has impacts on the patients’ treatments,
dosage of medications, quality of life, and overall survival. Nephritis is
inflammation of the kidney the most important prevalent to acute
nephritis is glomerulonephritis. Pyelonephritis that affects in adults more
than children, and it is recognized as inflammation of the kidney and upper
urinary tract. A third type of nephritis is hereditary nephritis, a rare
inherited condition.

kidneys called the glomerulus, Urine abnormalities such as excess excretion of
protein, sugar, blood, casts, crystals etc. Tubulo interstitial diseases
affecting the tubules in the kidneys, Renal vascular diseases affecting the blood vessel networks within the
kidneys, Kidney failure that can be sudden or acute or long term or chronic, Kidney
and bladder stones, Inflammation of the tiny filters in the kidneys leads to a
state called Glomerulonephritis also known as glomerular nephritis .Glomeruli helps in the removal of excess fluid,
electrolytes and waste from your bloodstream and pass them through the
urine maintaining the stability of the body. Albuminuria, haematuria,
reduced glomerular filtration rate, hypoproteinemia, edema are the symptoms of
this disease.

The stages of kidney disease are determined by the glomerular
filtration rate. Glomerular filtration is the process by which the kidneys
filter the blood, removing excess wastes and fluids. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a calculation that determines how well the blood is
filtered by the kidneys. It is one way to measure kidney types. They are Acute
kidney disease is the sudden loss of kidney function that occurs when high
levels of waste products of the body's metabolism accumulate in the
blood. Chronic Kidney Disease is a gradual development of permanent kidney disease that
worsens over a number of years. Pediatric Kidney Disease can affect children in various ways, ranging from treatable
disorders without long-term consequences to life-threatening conditions. Polycystic Kidney Disease is characterized by the growth of numerous kidney cysts,
which cause abnormalities in both the kidney structure and function.
Hypertension Uncontrolled hypertension can damage many organs in the body
including kidneys. The purpose of the kidney disease diet is to limit the
amount of protein in the diet so that less urea is produced.

Diagnostic imaging is a strategy and procedure of making the
visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and
demonstrative intervention. Diagnostic looks to reveal internal structures
hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to analyze and treat ailment.
Although imaging of removed organs and tissues can be performed for medical
reasons, such procedures are usually considered part of pathology instead of
medical imaging. Radiation treatment might be conveyed remotely or inside. Interior
radiation, or brachytherapy, is the implantation of a little measure of
radioactive material (seeds) in or close to the kidney disease. Angiography is
the test of choice for the renal hypertension or high blood pressure caused by
narrowing of the renal arteries that carry blood to the kidneys. Initial
evaluation could be done by the use of ultrasound. MRI involves a large and
powerful magnet in kidney diseases. Hydrogen ions in the body are used to
obtain pictures of the body parts. But in regard to the kidney, an MRI gives
the same information as a CT scan.

The kidneys are bean-shaped organs located on either side of the
lower back. They are extremely important for the body in that they process
waste and toxins before they are sent to the bladder as urine. If the kidney
becomes damaged or fails completely, it becomes unable to properly process this
waste. This lack of function causes renal failure, also called Kidney failure. The kidneys play a vital role in maintaining every day bodily
function. They not only filter the blood and get rid of waste, but they also
balance out electrolyte levels in the body which help encourage the production
of red blood cells and normalize blood pressure. Understanding what kidney
failure is will help you better prevent it from occurring. Kidney failure, also
known as renal failure, may not present many symptoms in the beginning.
However, as the kidneys continue to decrease in function, they become unable to
regulate water and electrolyte balances, clear waste products from the body,
and promote red blood cell production which leads to the onset of symptoms
including: lethargy, weakness, shortness of breath and occasional swelling. If
left untreated, then life-threatening symptoms can occur, which range from heart
failure to coma. When kidney function gets significantly reduced due to kidney
failure, the damage cannot usually be reversed. However, if the proper steps
are taken early enough, then it could slow down the progress of kidney failure
or even halt it altogether. The treatment for kidney failure differs depending
on what phase the kidney failure is and other individual factors. For those
whose kidneys no longer function well enough on their own without renal
therapy, specialist will typically recommend either renal dialysis or a kidney
transplant. There are two kinds of dialysis—Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis (Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis). Dialysis does some of the
things a normal kidney does, such as: removes extra water from the body and
removes the waste products that have built up in the blood. Hemodialysis is
usually done in a dialysis center; however there are some patients who use this
therapy at home. Nurses and technicians do your dialysis treatment.

Track 17 Renal Nutrition:
Renal nutrition is a diet which is prescribed during chronic renal failure. The principal sources of energy are Carbohydrates and fats.
A renal diet is one that is low in sodium, phosphorous and protein. A few
patients may likewise need to breaking point potassium and even calcium. Each
people body is distinctive, and in this manner, it is vital that a renal
dietician work with every patient to think of an eating regimen that is
custom-made to his or her needs. Renal nutrition is concerned with ensuring that patients with kidney disorders eat the right foods to make dialysis efficient and improve
health.

Track 18 Urinary Tract Infections:
Urinary Tract Infection defines that your bladder and kidneys and
the tubes that connect them. When germs get into the body they can cause an
infection. Most of the urinary tract infections (UTIs) are bladder infections. A bladder infection usually is not a serious infection if it’s
treated in the right away. If you do not take care of a bladder infection, it
can spread to your kidneys. A kidney infection is serious and can cause permanent
damage to the body. Bacteria that usually cause these infections in large
intestine and are found in your stool and it cause an infection to the bladder
and kidney.
