Avoid thirst & dehydration during warm months – CKD patients

As the temperatures begin to rise in accordance with the summer season, warm days can be a challenge particularly if you are a Chronic Kidney Disease patient who under go Dialysis has common fluid restrictions, which can cause to feel extra thirsty and dehydrated. Hence, Chronic Kidney Disease patients who must undergo Dialysis to maintain their lives should be very selective about the types and amounts of fluid they consume especially during these warm months of summer.

As most know, each Dialysis patient has a different allowance for daily fluid depending on physical activity level, body size and urine output. However, as a rule of thumb, the average Chronic Kidney Disease patient who conducts Dialysis is limited to approximately 32 to 50 fluid ounces per day.

Going over the recommended fluid allowance may lead to weight gain, increase in Blood Pressure, Edema (swelling) in the feet, ankles, wrists, face and around the eyes, abdominal bloating, shortness of breath due to fluid in the lungs, and heart problems – which can include a fast pulse, weakened heart muscles and an enlarged heart.

When it comes to hydrating, all beverages are not equal. For Chronic Kidney Disease patients who conduct Dialysis, water is probably the best bet to stay hydrated. It is suggested that drinks such as coffee, black tea and cocoa are very high in Purines which are toxins that must be diluted in large quantities of water to be flushed from the body. Hence, caffeinated, sweetened and alcoholic drinks carry chemicals or trigger chemical reactions that demand significant amounts of fluid to properly process and filter out of the body.

Therefore, while consumption of beverages such as coffee and tea is fine for most Dialysis patients, they should be extremely careful to limit the intake of such fluids since certain options may not appropriately hydrate them. When a Chronic Kidney Disease patient is thirsty and needs hydration relief they should stick primarily with water. Pick up the fruits like raspberries or vegetables like cucumbers to your water.

Of course Dialysis patients can improve hydration while limiting fluid intake by chewing ice or enjoying frozen fruits such as grapes. Still, patients should try to limit salt and if a Dialysis patient does exceed his or her fluid allowance, he or she may require an extra Dialysis Treatment Session to remove fluid buildup.

Alport Syndrome:

Alport syndrome is a genetic condition characterized by kidney disease, hearing loss, and eye abnormalities. People with Alport syndrome experience progressive loss of kidney function.

Causes Alport Syndrome is an inherited disease of the kidney. It is caused by genetic mutations that affect the type IV collagen family of proteins. Type IV collagen is a major part of important tissue structures called basement membranes that are present in all tissues including the kidney, inner ear, and eye.

Types of Alport Syndrome There are three genetic types:

X-linked Alport Syndrome (XLAS) is the most common; in these families affected males typically have more severe disease than affected females.

In autosomal recessive Alport Syndrome (ARAS) the severity of disease in affected males and females is similar.

There is also an autosomal dominant form (ADAS) which affects males and females with equal severity.

Signs and symptoms With all types of Alport syndrome the kidneys are affected. The tiny blood vessels in the glomeruli of the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter the wastes and extra fluid in your body. Many people with Alport syndrome also have hearing problems and abnormalities with their eyes.

Other signs and symptoms may include:

Blood in the urine (hematuria), the most common and earliest sign of Alport syndrome

Protein in the urine (proteinuria)

High blood pressure (hypertension)

Swelling in the legs, ankle, feet and around the eyes (called edema)

These signs and symptoms may differ, based on age, gender and inherited type of Alport syndrome. For example, hearing and vision problems tend to be more common in males than females and high blood pressure is usually found later in life.

Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome

Hemolytic uremic syndrome, or HUS, is a kidney condition that happens when red blood cells are destroyed and block the kidneys’ filtering system. The damaged red blood cells clog the filtering system in the kidneys, which can lead to life-threatening kidney failure. If the kidneys stop functioning, a child can develop acute kidney injury. The sudden and temporary loss of kidney function. Hemolytic uremic syndrome is the most common cause of acute kidney injury in children. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin—an iron-rich protein that gives blood its red color and carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body.

HUS usually develops in children after five to 10 days of diarrhoea — often bloody — caused by infection with certain strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. Adults also can develop HUS due to E. coli or other types of infection, certain medications, or pregnancy.

HUS is a serious condition. But timely and appropriate treatment leads to a full recovery for most people, especially young children.

Symptoms Signs and symptoms of HUS can include:

Bloody diarrhea

Decreased urination or blood in the urine

Abdominal pain, vomiting and occasionally fever

Pallor

Small, unexplained bruises or bleeding from the nose and

Fatigue and irritability

Confusion or seizures

High blood pressure

Swelling of the face, hands, feet or entire body

Symptoms of hemolytic uremic syndrome in children: A child with hemolytic uremic syndrome may develop signs and symptoms similar to those seen with gastroenteritis—an inflammation of the lining of the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine such as,

Vomiting

Bloody diarrhea

Abdominal pain

Fever and chills

Headache

Risk Factors The risk of developing HUS is highest for:

Children under 5 years of age

People over 75

People with certain genetic changes that make them more susceptible

Complications HUS can cause life-threatening complications, including:

Kidney failure, which can be sudden (acute) or develop over time (chronic)

High blood pressure

Stroke

Coma

Intestinl problems, such as inflammatory colitis

Heart problems

Diagnosis A health care provider diagnoses hemolytic uremic syndrome with

A medical and family history

A physical exam

Urine tests

A blood test

A stool test

Kidney biopsy

Overview

Penectomy: Surgical removal of entire cancerous penis is called Total penectomy. However partial penectomy is more commonly done procedure, in which only a part of penis is removed enabling the patient to urinate in standing position. We also frequently perform various penile sparing procedures such as glansectomy (removal of glans penis only) and excision of cancerous lesion alone in case of very small tumors.

Groin node dissections (Complete ilioinguinal or modified inguinal node dissection) : Penile cancer usually spreads to groin nodes followed by pelvic lymph nodes. These nodes are surgically removed depending on the extent of nodal involvement.

Risk Factors

HPV Infection

Smoking

Age

Smegma

Phimosis

How amazing are the Kidneys..!| best kidney hospital in visakhapatnam | urology | ainu 

Each Kidney = One million tiny Nephrons

Humans are blessed with two kidneys. Even though kidneys do weigh less than 0.5 % of the total body weight, they utilise around 25 % of the blood pumped by the Heart. The functional unit of the kidney is the “Nephron”. Each kidney contains around one Million Nephrons. These nephrons are similar to the Chip of a computer. Therefore, both kidneys contain around two million such nephrons, which carry out the task of blood purification. If the nephrons in both the kidneys are retrieved and arranged hypothetically end to end, they stretch to a distance of around sixteen kilometres!

Blood is filtered 400 times in a Day

Kidneys are the mighty organs which filter the blood wholly for four hundred times in a day. Every organ system is important but kidneys are crafted by Nature to be much more vital. If filtration by kidneys cannot happen in a precise and flawless way, then no other organ system can function smoothly as purified blood is an elixir for the proper functioning of all organ systems.

Kidneys are the True Multitaskers

Kidneys are designed not only to filter the blood but are entrusted with other diverse biological functions. One of such functions is the production of Erythropoietin, an essential substance which acts like a trigger in the production of Red Blood Cells from the bone marrow. Another important function of Kidney is the generation of Vitamin-D. Therefore, some patients of kidney failure are prone for bone problems due to the blunting of this Vitamin-D production. In addition they fine tune the amount of acids in the blood. They function

Kidneys regulate the Blood Pressure Regulation

Further, kidneys play a pivotal role in regulating Blood Pressure. Kidneys secrete ‘Renin’ which in turn tightly regulates Blood Pressure. Kidneys are virtually the Command Centre for blood pressure regulation.

Four Common Culprits for Kidney Failure

But, even such spectacularly designed kidneys are prone for various malfunctions. The most common reasons for kidney failure are long standing and Uncontrolled Diabetes, long duration High Blood Pressure, PainkIllers and environmental toxins such as Fluorosis.

Protect the amazing Organs

Like any other health issue, Prevention is the ultimate cure for Kidney failure. Such preventive strategies include tight control of Blood Sugar in diabetics, optimum control of high Blood Pressure and avoidance of the indiscriminate use of painkillers. Always remember that Kidney diseases are very preventable if the efforts for positive health such as regular exercise, limiting calorie dense diet along with regular monitoring of Blood Sugar and Blood pressure are enforced by all of us.

best kidney hospital in visakhapatnam  | Prostate Cancer | urology | ainu

What Is Prostate Cancer?

Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer cells, and can then spread to other areas of the body. To learn more about cancer and how it starts and spreads, see Prostate cancer begins when cells in the prostate gland start to grow out of control. The prostate is a gland found only in males. It makes some of the fluid that is part of semen.

The prostate is below the bladder (the hollow organ where urine is stored) and in front of the rectum (the last part of the intestines). Just behind the prostate are glands called seminal vesicles that make most of the fluid for semen. The urethra, which is the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body through the penis, goes through the center of the prostate.

Types of prostate cancer

Almost all prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas. These cancers develop from the gland cells (the cells that make the prostate fluid that is added to the semen).

Other types of cancer that can start in the prostate include:

Small cell carcinomas

Neuroendocrine tumors (other than small cell carcinomas)

Transitional cell carcinomas

Sarcomas

These other types of prostate cancer are rare. If you are told you have prostate cancer, it is almost certain to be an adenocarcinoma.

Some prostate cancers grow and spread quickly, but most grow slowly. In fact, autopsy studies show that many older men (and even some younger men) who died of other causes also had prostate cancer that never affected them during their lives. In many cases, neither they nor their doctors even knew they had it.

Possible pre-cancerous conditions of the prostate

Some research suggests that prostate cancer starts out as a pre-cancerous condition, although this is not yet known for sure. These conditions are sometimes found when a man has a prostate biopsy (removal of small pieces of the prostate to look for cancer).

Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN)

In PIN, there are changes in how the prostate gland cells look when seen with a microscope, but the abnormal cells don’t look like they are growing into other parts of the prostate (like cancer cells would). Based on how abnormal the patterns of cells look, they are classified as:

Low-grade PIN: The patterns of prostate cells appear almost normal.

High-grade PIN: The patterns of cells look more abnormal.

Low-grade PIN is not thought to be related to a man’s risk of prostate cancer. On the other hand, high-grade PIN is thought to be a possible precursor to prostate cancer. If you have a prostate biopsy and high-grade PIN is found, there is a greater chance that you might develop prostate cancer over time.

PIN begins to appear in the prostates of some men as early as in their 20s. But many men with PIN will never develop prostate cancer.

For more on PIN, see Tests to Diagnose and Stage Prostate Cancer.

India has one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing populations of aging men. While it is commonly known that men in this age group suffer from ailments like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, even cataract, the huge burden of morbidity imposed by a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH – suffered by many of these very men, is largely unheard of by the public. BPH is an age-related enlargement of the prostate which creates an obstruction to the outflow path of urine, producing troublesome symptoms that lead to the increased daytime frequency of urination, getting up frequently from sleep at night to pass urine, straining to improve the weak stream of urine, and feeling incompletely satisfied even after having just passed urine.

Research data from India show that almost 65% of men aged 40 years and above suffered from these annoying symptoms. Then why are most of these patient’s ‘unseen’?

Who‌ ‌Requires‌ ‌Kidney‌ ‌Transplantation..? | best kidney  transplant hospital in visakhapatnam 

Who requires Kidney Transplantation?

Kidney Transplantation is a procedure where one kidney is removed from a person and implanted into another person with permanent Kidney Failure. The person who donates a Kidney is known as a Donor and the one who receives the kidneys is known as the recipient.

Do all patients with Kidney Failure require Kidney Transplantation?

The answer is No. All patients of kidney failure don’t require kidney transplantation. There are two primary types of kidney failure. First category of kidney failure is Temporary Kidney Failure. This is technically known as Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), where in Kidney failure occurs because of a temporary insult and is potentially recoverable if that insult is eliminated within a particular time frame. These patients with Temporary Kidney failure don’t require Kidney Transplantation as Kidney failure is temporary. The Second category of Kidney Failure is End stage Kidney Disease (ESRD). The other term for this entity is CKD/Stage 5-D (Chronic Kidney Disease/ Stage 5 requiring Dialysis). These are the patients whose both the kidneys have failed permanently and completely. These are the patients who are left with only 5-10% of net kidney function and this is deemed irreversible. These are the patients who mandate either Kidney Transplantation or lifelong Dialysis to move forward.

Who can be a Kidney Donor?

Fundamentally there are two categories of Kidney Donors. The first Category being Living Kidney Donors and the Other Category being Deceased Kidney Donors. Living kidney donors are usually the individuals who are either biologically or emotionally related to the patient. The classical example of Biologically related individuals are parents and siblings. The most appropriate example of an emotionally related Living donor is Spouse.

The second category of Donors are Known as Deceased Donors. They are the donors whose brain is completely and irreversibly damaged but whose heart is still beating. Such a condition is medically termed as “Brain Death”. That is though they are biologically alive; due to the irreversible damage to the Brain they are technically dead as organs in the body cannot function when the Brain is irreversibly damaged. If the grieving family members are willing to donate the Kidney of their loved ones who are in a state of Brain death, Kidneys along with Liver, Heart and lungs are retrieved after following a stringent legal procedure as mandated by the law.

What are the fundamental requirements to donate a Kidney?

The fundamental requirement for kidney donation is the matching of Blood groups. The person who donates the kidney should have the same blood group like the patient or the donor should belong to the “O” Blood group. The Person with O Blood Group is regarded as a universal donor as such a person can donate a kidney to a person of any blood group. The other prerequisites being the biological relation or undisputed emotional relationship as defined by the law. The tests such as HLA matching will decide the extent of biological matching between the donor and the recipient.

Is Kidney Donation Safe?

Kidney donation is a safe and well established procedure due to the adoption of stringent measures to evaluate the donor’s health prior to the donation. Every donor will undergo critical analysis of all the organ systems prior to donation. They will be evaluated in depth to assess their kidney functions and would be methodically analysed if the person can sustain kidney donation. If the entire evaluation reveals normal results, then only donation will be permitted. If this stringent process is followed, Donation is usually an acceptably safe procedure subject to subtle biological variations.

To conclude, Kidney Transplantation is indicated in patients with Permanent Kidney failure whose net kidney functions have dropped below 5-10%. Kidney donors can be biologically or emotionally related individuals or Brain dead individuals. Kidney donation from living donors is usually a safe and established procedure subject to the stringent evaluation of donor’s health status.

Testicular cancer is a disease in which malignant cells grow out control in the testicular tissue which happens in the testicles which produce male sex hormone and sperm for reproduction. Men who are born with undescended testicles have a greater risk of getting testicular cancer. The majority of testicular cancers are germ cell tumors hence this is the most common form of cancer for males between the age of 15 and 35 but it can occur at any age and the incidence of testicular cancer does not increase with age. This is the most curable cancer with low mortality rate which has effective diagnostic techniques.

Risk Factors

An undescended testicle (cryptorchidism)

Abnormal testicle development.

Kidney cancer is cancer that originates in the kidneys. Your kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fist. They’re located behind your abdominal organs, with one kidney on each side of your spine. Kidney cancer also called renal cancer is a disease in which kidney cells become malignant (cancerous) and grow out of control, forming a tumor. Almost all kidney cancers first appear in the lining of tiny tubes (tubules) in the kidney. This type of kidney cancer is called renal cell carcinoma. The good news is that most of the kidney cancers are found before they spread (metastasize) to distant organs. And cancers caught early are easier to treat successfully. However, these tumors can grow to be quite large before they are detected.

Best treatment for kidney failure and symptoms by AINU visakhapatnam

What causes kidney failure?

Kidney failure, also called end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is the last stage of chronic kidney disease. When your kidneys fail, it means they have stopped working well enough for you to survive without dialysis or a kidney transplant.

In most cases, kidney failure is caused by other health problems that have done permanent damage (harm) to your kidneys little by little, over time.

When your kidneys are damaged, they may not work as well as they should. If the damage to your kidneys continues to get worse and your kidneys are less and less able to do their job, you have chronic kidney disease. Kidney failure is the last (most severe) stage of chronic kidney disease. This is why kidney failure is also called end-stage renal disease, or ESRD for short.

Diabetes and High blood pressure are the most common problems that can cause kidney failure 

  what are the symptoms of kidney failure? 

You may notice one or more of the following symptoms if your kidneys are beginning to fail:

·         Itching

·         Muscle cramps

·         Nausea and vomiting

·         Not feeling hungry

·         Swelling in your feet and ankles

·         Too much urine (pee) or not enough urine

·         Trouble catching your breath

·         Trouble sleeping

what are the treatment options for kidney failure ?

If you have kidney failure (end-stage renal disease or ESRD), you will need dialysis or a kidney transplant to live. There is no cure for ESRD, but many people live long lives while on dialysis or after having a kidney transplant.

The main treatments for kidney failure are: 

1.        Dialysis

2.        Kidney transplant

3.        medical management

what should i eat when i have kidney failure ?  

Exactly how strict your diet should be depends on your treatment plan and other health concerns. Most people on dialysis need to limit: 

Potassium 

Phosphorus 

 Fluids

 Sodium

Healthy kidneys with healthy diet by AINU specialized doctors Visakhapatnam

Fluids for Kidney Function

You may think drinking extra fluids is a no-brainer for increasing kidney function, but more isn’t always better. It is advisable you to drink just enough fluids to keep your urine either light yellow or colourless. A standard recommendation is 13 cups daily for men and 9 for women. Although that sounds like a lot, it includes both healthy fluids like filtered water and low-fat milk and also the water found naturally in fruits and vegetables. If you already have kidney disease, your doctor will advise you to drink much less so you don’t overwhelm your kidneys.

Cranberry juice has a decades-long association with kidney health, especially in preventing urinary tract infections

Fruits and Vegetables in the Diet An overall healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables is a smart choice for keeping your kidneys in topnotch shape. Fresh produce is not only high in water content, but it also contains powerful nutrients like vitamin C and flavonoids that support the health of all your organs, including the kidneys. If your doctor advises a low-potassium diet for your kidney health, focus on fruits and veggies that are significantly lower in this mineral. Your best veggie options include:

Cabbage

Cauliflower

Red     peppers

Celery

Asparagus

Cucumber

Eggplant
