Extractions: For people who develop kidney disease, but still retain some function in their kidneys, here are some useful information which may help you make choices for the future. What can I do to retard kidney disease progression? If you are at high risk , heed the precautions advised for your condition. For instance, if you have hypertension, control your blood pressure by eating right, among other things. Visiting your doctor regularly will help your doctor determine whether you are showing signs of kidney disease. If signs are present and kidney disease was confirmed, steps will be made to slow down the progression of the disease. Tips to slow down kidney disease progression: 1.

("Acute" means sudden, "renal" refers to the kidneys.) The kidneys filter wastes and excrete fluid by using the bloodstream's own natural pressure. There are numerous potential causes of damage to the kidneys. Decreased blood flow this may occur when there is extremely low blood pressure caused by trauma, complicated surgery, septic shock , hemorrhage, or burns ; associated dehydration ; or other severe or complicated illnesses. Acute tubular necrosis ( ATN ) may occur when tissues aren't getting enough oxygen or when the renal artery is blocked or narrowed (see acute arterial occlusion of the kidney and renal artery stenosis Over-exposure to metals, solvents, radiographic contrast materials, certain antibiotics, and other medications or substances.

It most often results from any disease that causes gradual loss of kidney function. It can range from mild dysfunction to severe kidney failure . Progression may continue to end-stage renal disease . Chronic renal failure usually occurs over a number of years as the internal structures of the kidney are slowly damaged. In the early stages, there may be no symptoms. In fact, progression may be so gradual that symptoms do not occur until kidney function is less than one-tenth of normal.

Extractions: Govenment Reports Ask an Attorney The human body contains two kidneys, each of which process waste before it is sent to the bladder as urine. When a kidney "fails" it becomes unable to properly process this waste. Kidney failure is also referred to as "renal failure." Depending on the severity of the failure, a patient may have to undergo dialysis , a procedure that takes the blood out of the body and sends it into a dialysis machine. The machine, in lieu of the kidney, filters the waste products from the blood. Severe cases of renal failure may require a kidney transplant. The popular cholesterol lowering drug Baycol has been linked to rhabdomyolysis , a potentially fatal condition which causes muscle pain and kidney failure in severe cases. Baycol was removed from the market on August 8, 2001.

Extractions: If you, or someone you know, was diagnosed with kidney failure and was taking Baycol® , please contact us after you read this informational summary. Baycol® was a statin believed to lower LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels by blocking a certain liver enzyme. Unlike most other statins which are organically produced from fungus, Baycol® was synthetically derived, metabolized differently from, and was more potent than, other statins. It was approved by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June 1997 for 0.3mg a day. Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced in the liver which plays a role in maintaining cell membranes and building certain hormones. LDL is the bad cholesterol because it travels through the body and leaves deposits in the vascular system. HDL is the good cholesterol as it is believed to be able to collect the deposits left by the LDL and return them to the liver. Unfortunately for patients, Baycol® was not effective at the approved dose. Even though by January 2000, Bayer had knowledge of rhabdomyolysis causing death and kidney failure from Baycol® , it nevertheless sought approval of yet a higher dosage of the drug. All this time, the dangerous side effects were being reported to Bayer. Rhabdomyolysis is a muscle breakdown disorder. The muscle components are released into the blood circulation and detectable as an elevated CK level, usually five times higher than normal. Symptoms can include fatigue, fever, nausea and vomiting, muscle pain weakness and tenderness so severe they prevent individuals from walking or functioning as before. The muscle pains are most often in the lower back and calves.

Extractions: Studies have found a link between use of Baycol and kidney failure sometimes requiring dialysis or even causing death. Baycol has been linked to over 480 cases of rhabdomyolysis, a condition that causes muscle-cell breakdown (atrophy). Symptoms of rhabdo include muscle pain, weakness, tenderness, malaise, fever, dark urine, nausea, and vomiting. In addition to kidney failure, rhabdo may be linked to heart conditions, including cardiac arrest. The dangerous side effects of Baycol were even higher when it was taken in conjunction with Lopid (Gemfibrozil). In fact, over 84 deaths have been linked to Baycol.

Extractions: Kidney failure is a serious disease which can have a major impact on life, and can ultimately be fatal. However, it can be successfully treated. What do the kidneys do? In order for blood to perform its essential functions of bringing nutrients and oxygen to the cells of the body, and carrying waste materials away from those cells, the chemical composition of the blood must be carefully controlled. The kidneys play a crucial role in this process by filtering the blood under high pressure and removing potential toxins, which are excreted from the body in the urine. Every day the kidneys filter the body's entire blood volume seven or eight times. What is kidney failure? When the kidneys start to fail, toxins are not filtered out of the blood, and start accumulate in the tissues. This can lead to a range of problems. Build up of two waste products, urea and creatinine, can lead to tiredness, weakness, loss of appetite and vomiting.
