Acute Kidney Disease to Chronic Kidney Disease

Critical Care Clinics, 2021
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease are common interconnected syndromes that represent a public health problem. Acute kidney disease (AKD) is defined as the post-AKI status of acute or subacute kidney damage/dysfunction manifested by persistence of AKI beyond 7 to 90 days after the initial AKI diagnosis.

Kidney Disease

Pathology - Research and Practice, 1980
The diagnostic highlights under electron microscopy in hereditary nephropathies and glomerulonephritides are reviewed: Alport's syndrome--lamellation, fragmentation and reticulation of glomerular basement membrane; benign essential (familial) hematuria--glomerular basement membrane thinning; nail patella syndrome--moth eaten holes and collagen like ...

Kidney Disease: Chronic Kidney Disease.

FP essentials, 2021
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 37 million US adults. It is characterized by damage to the renal glomeruli, vascular supply, and/or tubulointerstitium through complex processes involving inflammation, fibrosis, and hyperfiltration. CKD typically is asymptomatic but may be detected incidentally via urinalysis showing proteinuria or blood test ...

Diabetic Kidney Disease

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2020
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease in the United States. Approximately 30% to 40% of individuals with diabetes mellitus develop DKD, and the presence of DKD significantly elevates the risk for morbidity and mortality. Understanding of DKD has grown in recent years.

Cystic kidney diseases

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1997
The goal of understanding the primary defects that lead to renal cystic diseases has proved to be an elusive one, despite 3 decades of physiologic and genetic investigation. Within the past 2 years the genes responsible for type 1 and type 2 autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease have been identified.

Autoimmune kidney diseases

Autoimmunity Reviews, 2010
The second most common cause of chronic renal failure is glomerulonephritis, which is a collective term used for numerous diseases with the common denominator of histological renal inflammation emanating from the glomerular tuft. Whether all forms of glomerulonephritis should be considered as autoimmune disease is debatable, but immune mechanisms are ...

Diabetic Kidney Disease

Disease-a-Month
Diabetic kidney disease is a leading cause of kidney failure worldwide and is easily detectable with screening examination. Diabetes causes hyperfiltration and activation of the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system by hemodynamic changes within the nephron, which perpetuates damaging physiology.

Polycystic Kidney Disease

Comprehensive Physiology, 2017
ABSTRACTRenal cysts, which arise from renal tubules, can be seen in a variety of hereditary and nonhereditary entities. Common mechanisms associated with renal cyst formation include increased cell proliferation, epithelial fluid secretion, and extracellular matrix remodeling.
