Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a kidney disease in which the kidney gradually loses its function. It exhibits no specific symptoms at the outset, and is generally detected with an increase in protein or serum creatinine in the urine. The loss of kidney function results in fluid overload, thereby increasing the risks of hypertension and congestive heart failure. Various other changes start to occur in the body, such as potassium accumulation in blood, urea accumulation, anemia, hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, etc. CKD is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. The prognosis is worsened when both are present in the body. High blood pressure, glomerulonephritis and diabetes mellitus are common causes of CKD. The diagnosis of chronic kidney disease is based on an examination of medical history, presenting symptoms, urine dipstick and serum creatinine levels. Renal ultrasonography aids both in the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. The chief objective of a treatment strategy for CKD is to halt or slow the progression of the disease. Blood pressure is controlled, and a low-salt and low-protein diet is recommended. In severe stage of the disease, renal replacement therapy is usually required in the form of a kidney transplant or dialysis. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches in the detection and management of chronic kidney disease. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to this condition have been included herein. The book is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this condition as well as for experts.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disease of the kidneys whereby they lose their function gradually over time. It also increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The cause of mortality in individuals with CKD is cardiovascular disease. CKD progresses over a number of stages in increasing order of kidney damage. Kidney damage with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) greater than 90 ml/min and persistent albuminuria qualifies for stage 1. As it advances, GFR reduces progressively. Finally when GFR becomes less than 15 ml/min (stage 5), kidney failure sets in and the disease enters its end-stage. At this stage, a permanent renal replacement therapy is required for survival of the patient. Although renal replacement therapies can sustain people indefinitely, the quality of life is severely compromised. For individuals with hypertension, diabetes or obesity, above 60 years of age, or with a history of cardiovascular disease or kidney disease in family, screening is recommended. Research in CKD is aimed at the development of effective compounds for treating the disease. The efficacy of sulodexide and olmesartan medoxomil in the management of CKD is currently under investigation. This book provides comprehensive insights into chronic kidney disease. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
