(1) Renal failure is a type of disease that happened to kidneys and prevent them from working properly. Renal failure can occur as an acute or chronic renal failure. Chronic renal failure describes abnormal kidneys structure and loss of kidneys function. It is often accompany with other conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. Therefore
Acute Renal Failure is when the kidneys abruptly stop functioning by excreting wastes of the body. Abnormal functions that can cause acute renal failure are that the body cannot regulate acid-base balance of bodily fluids, regulation of one’s blood pressure which affects waste products not being filtered from the body, and irregularities of red blood cell production. There are many factors that can cause a person’s kidneys to stop working properly. A prerenal cause is something that occurs in
Chronic Kidney Disease: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Lifestyle Recommendations Janelle Giggey Nur6531 Walden University August 2, 2015 Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition characterized by a gradual loss of kidney function over time (kidney.org, 2015). Renal failure is a complex and challenging health issue that demands the involvement of both specialists and primary care providers (Buttaro, Trybulski, Polgar, Bailey, & Sandberg-Cook, 2013). In this paper I will discuss what chronic
HOW DOES DISEASE AFFECT THE LEVEL OF ORGANIZATION? * THE KIDNEY There are two kidneys, each about the size of a fist, located on either side of the spine at the lowest level of the rib cage. Each kidney contains up to a million functioning units called nephrons. A nephron consists of a filtering unit of tiny blood vessels called a glomerulus attached to a tubule. When blood enters the glomerulus, it is filtered and the remaining fluid then passes along the tubule. In the tubule, chemicals and
Kidney disease 1 Running Head: CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE Understanding Chronic Kidney Disease Kim Prior Rock Valley College Kidney disease 2 Understanding Chronic Kidney Disease Chronic kidney disease is a growing problem with increasing numbers of patients being diagnosed and those beginning dialysis or the transplant process. “Currently, 26 million Americans have CKD…and 111,000 patients were newly diagnosed with end-stage renal disease in 1 year” (Castner, 2010, p
Your dog's kidneys are responsible for eliminating toxic wastes and keeping the correct balance of chemicals in the blood. Kidney disease in dogs occurs when the organs are no longer able to function properly. This condition comes in two forms. Forms This disease can be either acute or chronic. The acute version occurs suddenly and sometimes causes irreparable damage. Dogs of any age are susceptible to this condition. Chronic kidney disease is progressive, and develops slowly over time. It usually

The kidney is a body organ that filters blood for the secretion of urine and that regulates ion concentrations. When the kidneys can no longer function properly, it causes a kidney disease which can shut down and waste can be released into the blood flow. When kidneys can no longer function to sustain day to day life, it is diagnosed as chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end stage renal disease (ESRD). In the United States, chronic kidney disease has been on the rise. Through laboratory testing
Chronic kidney disease Everglades University Gia Davis Dr. Cesar Irrazy Abstract Chromic Kidney Disease is a disease that affects 80 percent of the United States population.

Like any complicated machine, not all kidneys work perfectly. When someone's kidneys have problems for a long time, doctors call it a chronic kidney disease. Children's kidney problems are either congenital or acquired. The difference is that a congenital problem exists from the day someone is born. An acquired kidney problem develops over time, often due to an injury, kidney infection, or other illness. Many congenital kidney problems are hereditary, which means they're passed down through a
