| | Kidney Disease |
 | | The kidneys have a profound affect on almost all the physiologic processes of the body. | | | This is a bruised kidney from a cat that was attacked by a dog. | | | We will closely monitor their BUN and creatinine before therapy is instituted and during hospitalization to ascertain if their kidneys are responding to fluid therapy. |

| | Kidneys, Kidney Disease and Treatment |
| | This is a surgical procedure where a single healthy kidney is placed within the patient's body. | | | In this procedure, two needles are inserted into a blood vessel (usually in the patient's arm). | | | This excess water results in swelling of tissues and high blood pressure and prevents normal activity of other organs in the body such as the heart and lungs. |

| | Once the catheter is in place, this technique is usually done at home. | | | Tumors are treated with surgery, radiation, and appropriate medications. | | | Some urinary tract blockages can be treated by abdominal surgery; others can be relieved by surgery through the urethra. |

| | Kidney Stones |
| | It should be noted that the size of the stone does not necessarily predict to the severity of the pain; a very tiny crystal with sharp edges can cause intense pain while a larger round stone may not be as distressing. | | | Until recently, the procedure to remove a stone was a very painful, major surgery that required a four- to six-week recovery period. | | | Phosphates help reduce bone resorption (the breakdown of bone that releases calcium into the blood stream) and are also involved in reabsorption of calcium from urine by the kidney. |

| | "Gene therapy is a new approach to treating kidney disease," said N. Stanley Nahman Jr., the study's senior author and a professor of nephrology at Ohio State. | | | "Circulation in the glomerulus is redundant, so the chances of tissue in this tiny filter dying due to lack of blood and oxygen are slim," Nahman said. | | | This filtration system becomes blocked when patients develop glomerular disease. |

| | kidney funtion |
| | The glomerulus is the main filter of the nephron and is located within the Bowman's capsule. | | | After your body takes what it needs from the food, waste is then sent to the blood. | | | When kidneys are disease the body adapts to the progressive loss of renal function and the patient may not be clearly aware of symptoms until the majority of the kidney tissue is no longer functioning. |

| | Kidney Disease In Dogs And Cats |
| | Researchers at Cornell Veterinary School are working on a synthesized form of feline erythropoietin (rfEPO) which should be safe and effective, however it is still in the early stages of development. | | | In people, our heart seems to be our weakest organ. | | | Kidney disease in dogs and cats is usually bilateral. |

| | Kidney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Dialysis is a medical procedure, performed in various different forms, where the blood is filtered outside of the body. | | | Kidney stones are a relatively common and particularly painful disorder. | | | The medical field that studies the kidneys and diseases affecting the kidney is called nephrology. |

| | About FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis) |
| | Patients with CRF who are approaching ESRD should learn as much about their treatment options as possible so they can make an informed decision when the time comes. | | | But these treatments are beneficial only to a minority of those in whom they are tried, and some patients experience even poorer kidney function as a result of therapy. | | | Minimal Change Disease (MCD) is the diagnosis given when a patient has Nephrotic Syndrome and the kidney biopsy reveals little or no change to the structure of glomeruli or surrounding tissues when examined by a light microscope. |

| | Causes include surgery or trauma, pregnancy, various medical conditions, nephrotoxins, or irreversible conditions that diminish nephron function. | | | Kidneys are examined by palpation, cystoscopy or endoscopy. | | | In adults, the incidence is lower and some 25-50% of patients develop chronic renal disease. |

| | Review of kidney function |
| | Together with the skin and the respiratory system, the kidneys are the body's primary excretory organs. | | | The kidney is a highly specialized organ that maintains the internal environment of the body by selectively excreting or retaining various substances according to specific body needs. | | | The kidneys are a pair of fist-sized organs located outside the peritoneal cavity on each side of the spine. |

| | The filtered blood is returned to the body through the veins. | | | Together, they filter the blood, process the filtrate and make urine. | | | The glomerulus is the filtering unit and contains the leaky capillary. |
