People can normally hold urine in their bladders until they get to the restroom. Incontinence, often known as "urinary incontinence," is the inability of the bladder to contain pee. The bladder is a balloon-shaped structure located in the pelvis that holds urine produced by the kidneys. The bladder is attached to one end of the urethra, while the other end is left open. The aperture in women is immediately above the vaginal opening. It is located at the tip of the penis in men.
Cysts in the kidneys are virtually always benign (not cancerous). The cysts usually do not cause any complications. People can go their entire lives without even realising they have them. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a hereditary illness that causes kidney cysts in some people. High blood pressure, back and side pain, blood in the urine, and repeated kidney infections are all indications of this condition.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as a sudden loss of renal function manifested by a rise in serum creatinine concentration equal to or more than 26.5 mol/L (0.3 mg/dL) within 48 hours. It is prevalent because it can be a complication of numerous diseases that need hospitalisation; up to 20% of hospitalised individuals have AKI. The extent of the serum creatinine increase determines the severity of AKI, which ranges from stage 1 (moderate) to stage 3 (severe).
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a brief period of renal failure or damage that occurs in a matter of hours or days. AKI causes waste products to build up in your blood, making it harder for your kidneys to maintain a healthy fluid balance in your body. Other organs, including the brain, heart, and lungs, can be affected by AKI. Acute kidney damage is common among hospitalised patients, particularly those in intensive care units and the elderly.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), also known as chronic renal failure (CRF), is a term that encompasses all stages of kidney dysfunction, from damaged–at-risk through mild, moderate, and severe chronic kidney failure. CKD is a worldwide public health concern. The elderly is more likely to develop CKD. While younger patients with CKD often have progressive loss of renal function, 30% of people with CKD over the age of 65 maintain stable illness.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disorder in which the kidneys lose some of their ability to eliminate waste materials and excess fluid from the bloodstream. Other organ systems are affected as waste materials and fluids build up in the body, which can be damaging to your health.
Nephrology deals with the diagnosis and treatment of kidney illnesses, such as electrolyte imbalances and hypertension, as well as the care of those who require renal replacement therapy, such as dialysis and renal transplant recipients. Nephrology also examines basic disorders that affect the kidneys and foundational concerns that arise because of renal diseases. A nephrologist or renal doctor is a nephrologist or renal doctor who specialises in nephrology.
In the laboratory, Clinical Nephrology uses modern technologies to treat and diagnose renal disorders. It comprises studying the kidney, its functions, and diseases, as well as diagnosing and treating several human problems. Clinical nephrology is mostly concerned with adult and elderly nephrology problems. Cystectomy is a surgical procedure in which the urinary bladder or an abnormal cyst is removed. Warfarin-related nephropathy is a relatively new development in clinical nephrology that combines the treatment of renal disorders with the use of warfarin.
One of the most common organ transplant surgeries performed today is a kidney transplant. Kidneys that aren't operating properly are replaced with a kidney from a donor in this procedure. Since the 1950s, kidney transplants have been conducted. For thousands of patients with end-stage kidney disease, this operation offers a life-saving option (kidney renal failure). If you suffer from renal failure and are unable to receive a transplant, dialysis can help you live longer. Dialysis purifies the blood by filtering out waste materials like urea.
Nephrology nurses encounter a fast-changing health-care landscape, fluctuating patient demographics, a technological explosion, and a slew of other obstacles daily. We need to learn how to apply strategic thinking to identify difficulties, collaborate with decision-makers, and figure out who has influence over decisions and resources. Socioeconomic considerations, as well as improvements in health care delivery and professional challenges peculiar to nursing, have influenced changes in the nursing profession in general and nephrology nursing.
Dialysis is a renal failure treatment that filters your blood to remove undesirable toxins, waste products, and excess fluids. When your kidneys fail, your body may have trouble cleaning your blood and maintaining a chemically balanced system. In addition, dialysis can help you live longer by replacing some kidney function. In combination with medication and adequate care, it can help you live longer. Dialysis filters toxins, waste, and fluid from your blood through a semipermeable membrane—a substance that enables fluids and small particles to pass through but not larger particles—acting as an artificial kidney.
Hypertension is a condition in which the blood pressure is unusually high, and it is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease and death. The hypertension thresholds are set to represent the risk of disease associated with high blood pressure, while risk increases even in the "normal" BP range. Stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), renal disease, retinopathy, and peripheral vascular disease are all risk factors for hypertension. Blood pressure is measured separately for systolic and diastolic pressures. The systolic pressure (the larger pressure and the first figure recorded) is the force that blood exerts on the artery walls as the heart contracts to pump blood to the peripheral organs and tissues.
Pyelonephritis (kidney infection) is a painful and potentially dangerous illness. Antibiotics and painkillers are commonly used in the treatment of this condition. If your kidney was previously healthy, you should be able to fully recover. In some circumstances, complications arise. Complications such as kidney damage or infection spreading throughout the body are both potential (sepsis).
Onco-nephrology is a new and developing subspecialty concerned with all aspects of kidney-related problems in cancer patients. Kidney illness is an increasingly common consequence among cancer patients. Through tumour invasion or the creation of nephrotoxic chemicals, cancer can directly cause kidney harm. Cancer treatment side effects can potentially cause kidney injury in these patients. With the emergence of novel targeted therapeutic medicines and intense chemotherapy regimens, many types of nephrotoxicity have increased.
Microbes such as bacteria overcome the body's defences in the urinary tract, resulting in urinary tract infections (UTIs). They may cause damage to the kidneys, bladder, and the tubes that connect them. The upper and lower urinary tracts make up the urinary tract. The upper urinary tract is made up of the kidneys and ureters, whereas the lower urinary tract is made up of the urethra and bladder.
Urologists have used robotic surgery for a variety of procedures, including prostatectomy, cystectomy (bladder removal), and nephrectomy (kidney removal). The da Vinci Surgical System is the most used robotic platform among urologists for minimally invasive operations. This device will feature four robotic arms with a range of motion comparable to a human hand. Small incisions are used to put the da Vinci System into the body. The little incisions made by the robot aid in greatly reducing surgical pain when compared to the bigger incisions made by earlier procedures.
Nephrotoxicity occurs when the kidneys are damaged or destroyed and are unable to function normally. Environmental contaminants like cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and lead, natural compounds like aristolochic acids (found in certain plants) and mycotoxins (found in certain fungi), and a variety of medications, including cancer therapies, drugs of abuse, and some antibiotics, can all induce nephrotoxicity. A common cause of acute kidney damage (AKI) is drug-induced nephrotoxicity, which is more common among hospitalised patients, particularly those in intensive care. AKI is a significant complication that increases the risk of death in hospitalised patients by 3.5 times.
A paediatric nephrologist is a doctor who specialises in the diagnosis, investigation, and treatment of chronic and acute kidney disease in children, including dialysis and kidney transplantation. Paediatric nephrologists are experts in renal physiology, including fluid management, electrolyte imbalances, and acid-base balance. Pediatric nephrology examines and treats children with hypertension, hematuria, proteinuria, renal tubular acidosis, glomerulonephritis, and kidney damage. It also includes comprehensive care for paediatric patients with end-stage kidney disease, including consideration for individuals undergoing peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, and kidney transplantation in children.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of illnesses affecting the heart and blood vessels (veins and arteries). High blood pressure, an unhealthy diet, high cholesterol, diabetes, air pollution, obesity, cigarette use, renal disease, physical inactivity, dangerous alcohol use, and stress are examples of socioeconomic, behavioural, and environmental risk factors. The risk of cardiovascular disease is also influenced by a person's family history, ethnic background, sex, and age. Conditions that restrict or block blood arteries are referred to as heart disease (coronary heart disease). In some situations, this can lead to a heart attack, angina, or stroke. Heart illness also includes disorders that damage the muscles and valves of your heart, as well as irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
Urologic disorders and ailments include, among others, urinary tract infections, kidney stones, bladder control issues, and prostate issues. Some urologic problems are temporary, while others persist for a long period of time. Your body's drainage system for eliminating pee is the urinary tract. Urine is made up of waste as well as water. The urinary tract includes your kidneys, ureters, and bladder. To urinate normally, the urinary tract must cooperate in the proper sequence.
The presence of stones within the kidneys is referred to as nephrolithiasis, sometimes known as kidney stones or renal calculi. It's one of the most frequent adult renal disorders. When there's an overabundance of crystal-forming chemicals in the urine that can't be dissolved, stones form. High urine excretion of some chemicals, such as calcium, oxalate, uric acid, and cysteine, can promote stone development, whereas high urinary excretion of others, such as citrate, can protect against stone formation. Stone formation may be aided by changes in urinary pH, low urine volume, and a lack of protective chemicals that keep the crystals from staying together. Environmental variables like decreasing fluid intake, hot climates, and nutritional issues also have a role in the development of nephrolithiasis.
Renal replacement therapy is a term that refers to all treatments for renal failure that keep you alive. In individuals with renal failure, renal replacement therapy replaces nonendocrine kidney function. Intermittent hemodialysis, continuous hemofiltration and hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis are all options. Dialysis and filtration through permeable membranes are used in all modalities to exchange solutes and eliminate fluid from the blood.
Diabetic Nephropathy, commonly known as diabetic kidney disease, is the progressive loss of kidney function associated with diabetes. Diabetic neuropathy is the result of nerve damage caused by diabetes. High blood sugar (glucose) levels can damage blood vessels and neurons over time. This can result in issues and symptoms. The most affected parts are the legs and feet. It can, however, harm your body's organs. Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide.
Uro-oncology, also known as urological oncology, is a cancer specialty that focuses on cancers of the urinary tract in both men and women, as well as cancers of the male reproductive organs. Urological oncology is the study of malignancies of the urinary bladder, kidney, prostate, penis, and testicles, as well as their diagnosis, staging, and treatment. A urological oncologist is a surgeon who specialises in the treatment of urological cancers. When a patient develops urological cancer, surgery is usually the initial course of action. This is especially true when cancer is in its early stages. Surgery is used in conjunction with other treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy as cancer advances.
