Nephrology. Hypertensive kidney disease is a medical condition referring to damage to the kidney due to chronic high blood pressure. It manifests as hypertensive nephrosclerosis (sclerosis referring to the stiffening of renal components). [2] It should be distinguished from renovascular hypertension, which is a form of secondary hypertension
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious condition that can affect anyone, especially those with other health problems. This book provides evidence-based guidance on how to prevent, detect and manage AKI in various settings, such as primary care, hospital and intensive care. It also covers the causes, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment and complications of AKI, as well as the role of other organ
Drug-induced acute interstitial nephritis (DI-AIN), also called allergic acute interstitial nephritis, is the most common cause of acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) in developed countries. DI-AIN is associated with a sharp decline in renal function, often requiring dialysis, and has the potential for permanent renal insufficiency, especially if left untreated. Differentiating from other
Introduction. Advances in the use of ultrasonography can enhance our ability to better characterize acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI is a clinical syndrome characterized by a rapid decrease in kidney excretory function with the accumulation of products of nitrogen metabolism and other clinically unmeasured waste products, and may proceed to include clinical manifestations including decreased A retrospective, observational cohort study of 500 adult patients who received vancomycin for ≥72 h found that the incidence of AKI correlated with vancomycin trough levels, ranging from 8.02% with first trough levels below 10 µg/mL to 31.82% with first trough levels of 20 µg/mL or higher On multivariate logistic regression, factors significantly associated with increased incidence of AKI Anasarca is severe generalized fluid accumulation in the interstitial space. This generalized edema can result either when capillary filtration exceeds the fluid removed via lymphatic drainage, when intravascular hydrostatic pressure increases, when the permeability of the endothelial barrier increases, when oncotic pressure within the capillary decreases, or when oncotic pressure changes from
AKI occurs in less than 30 days of surgery in about 1% of general surgery cases and above 50% of acute care setting (ICU) patients. AKI is the cause of about 95% of nephrology consultations. If you're above the age of 50 or have any of the following long-term health issues, you're more likely to develop acute kidney failure: Liver problems
