Extractions: Proteinuria describes a condition in which urine contains an abnormal amount of protein. Proteins are the building blocks for all body parts, including muscles, bones, hair, and nails. Proteins in your blood also perform a number of important functions: protecting you from infection, helping your blood coagulate, and keeping the right amount of fluid circulating through your body. As blood passes through healthy kidneys, they filter the waste products out and leave in the things the body needs, like proteins. Most proteins are too big to pass through the kidneys' filters into the urine, unless the kidneys are damaged. The two proteins that are most likely to appear in urine are albumin and globulin. Albumin is smaller and therefore more likely to escape through the filters of the kidney, called glomeruli. Albumin's function in the body includes retention of fluid in the blood. It acts like a sponge, soaking up fluid from body tissues. Inflammation in the glomeruli is called glomerulonephritis

Extractions: There are a number of known causes of kidney failure but in quite a lot of people the cause is never found. The commonest causes are diabetes , high blood pressure and a painless inflammation of the kidneys called glomerulonephritis . There is a progressive loss of the filtering units ( nephrons ) in the kidney. Other common causes are the inherited condition of cysts in the kidneys (polycystic kidney disease); repeated kidney infections or kidney infections ( pyelonephritis ) in childhood; and obstruction to the urine flow.

Treatment Of Kidney Failure
How is kidney failure treated? While there is currently no absolute curefor kidney failure, there are several different treatments available.
http://www.kidneywise.com/treatment/kftreat/index.asp

Extractions: Monitoring and Predialysis - while the kidneys are still working well enough, the medical team will work with patients to control their symptoms and preserve the remaining function of their kidneys for as long as possible. This is done with medication (eg to control high blood pressure and control renal bone disease, and prevent anaemia) and dietary advice. Transplant of a healthy kidney from a donor is the treatment option which most closely resembles normal kidney function. A successful transplant (and the operation has a good success rate) is without doubt the best treatment for a patient with kidney failure. It provides much more efficient kidney function than dialysis, so patients feel better and have more energy. However, some patients are not suitable for transplant and there is a waiting list for suitable donor kidneys to become available.

KIDNEY FAILURE
Kidney and Urinary Tract Disorders kidney failure. DEFINITION During kidney failure,the kidneys stop filtering the body's metabolic waste products properly.
http://cpmcnet.columbia.edu/texts/guide/hmg27_0004.html

Extractions: KIDNEY FAILURE Since virtually all kidney disease can cause renal failure, the major focus of treatment in most cases is to preserve kidney function. We have far more kidney functioning power than necessary and most kidney diseases do not cause noticeable problems or symptoms until 90 percent of renal function is lost. The distinction between acute and chronic renal failure is crucial. DEFINITION The most common causes of acute renal failure are shock (usually from blood loss), infection, and drug reac-tions, often in combination. Most cases now occur in the hospital, where the condition is easily and promptly diagnosed and acute kidney dialysis units are ready to begin treatment. Chronic renal failure is usually caused by glomerulone-phritis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, amyloidosis (ac-cumulation of protein and starch in various organs), and other conditions that cause long-term kidney damage.

Extractions: a donor Sign Me Up Questions and Answers Children's Leaflet Kidney Failure in the Family Organ donation and the South Asian community Search this site: Do you want to help? If you have a relative with kidney failure, treatment by dialysis will probably be the first step, followed by a place on the national waiting list for a possible transplant. Sometimes the wait for a kidney can be a long one and in that situation, members of the family may begin to think about what they can do to help. This leaflet explains what happens when a kidney is donated by a relative. THINKING ABOUT DONATION Kidney transplantation is made possible by donation from people who have died in hospital. The majority will have died in an intensive care unit as a result of severe brain injury a process called cadaveric donation. Unfortunately, there are never enough kidneys available to meet the needs of a growing waiting list of patients. The matching of blood group and tissue type is critical to success which means that each kidney which becomes available would only be suitable for a very few patients on the waiting list. This can extend the waiting time even further.
