Chronic renal failure - Diagnosis

Early diagnostics of chronic renal failure is based on laboratory methods. Polyuria with nocturia, persistent arterial hypertension combined with anemia, symptoms of gastroenteritis and secondary gout, hyperphosphatemia with hypocalcemia indicate chronic renal failure.

Chronic Renal Failure - Symptoms

The first signs of chronic renal failure are often its non-specific “masks”: anemic, hypertensive, asthenic, gouty, osteopathic, as well as complications caused by a decrease in renal elimination of drugs, for example, an increase in the frequency of hypoglycemic conditions in stable diabetes on a selected dosage of insulin.

Chronic renal failure - Causes and pathogenesis

The main causes of chronic renal failure are endocrine and vascular diseases. The percentage of patients with diabetic nephropathy, atherosclerotic and hypertensive nephroangiosclerosis among all patients on chronic dialysis is constantly growing.

Chronic renal failure

Chronic renal failure (chronic uremia, renal shrinkage) is a symptom complex caused by progressive sclerosis of the renal parenchyma with the death of nephrons due to primary or secondary chronic kidney disease.

Kidney Tuberculosis - Treatment

Treatment of kidney tuberculosis should be individualized and include the use of specific anti-tuberculosis drugs. They are divided into primary (first-line) and reserve.

Renal tuberculosis - Symptoms and diagnosis

Symptoms of kidney tuberculosis, unfortunately, are few and non-specific. In the parenchymatous stage, when foci of inflammation are present only in the organ tissue, clinical manifestations may be minimal, scanty: mild malaise, occasionally subfebrile temperature.

Renal tuberculosis - Causes and pathogenesis

The main source of infection is the patient releasing mycobacteria into the environment. The main route of penetration of the pathogen into the kidney is hematogenous. This usually occurs at the stage of formation of the pulmonary focus, when the "non-sterile" immunity to the pathogen does not function properly.

Renal tuberculosis

Renal tuberculosis is the most common extrapulmonary organ form of tuberculosis, occurring in 30-40% of cases of primary pulmonary lesions. Renal, urinary tract, and genital tuberculosis is called urogenital.

Tumors of the calyx and pelvic duct system

Tumors of the renal pelvis and calyceal system develop from the urothelium and in the overwhelming majority are cancers of varying degrees of malignancy; they are 10 times less common than tumors of the renal parenchyma.

Renal cell cancer

Among malignant tumors of the renal parenchyma, the overwhelming majority (85-90%) are renal cell carcinoma, which develops from the tubular epithelium.
