Chronic renal failureand common accompanying diseases

Etiology
• can be found in every age highly depending on educational, social and hence nutritional status
• is either acquired or inherited• occurs with higher probabilities in certain
diseases (e.g. diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis, arterial hypertonia, viral diseases)
• occurs with higher probabilities in older people
Definition
• we speak of a chronic kidney disease, if there is either:
1. proteinuria or microalbuminuria
2. or a kidney function of less than 60% of normal
3. or a pathological alteration of the kidneys
4. and if this situation if present for more than 3 months
Measurement of kidney function
• achieved by measurement of creatinin (metabolic waste product) concentration in the blood (physiological: 50 – 120 µmol/L)
• estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by usage of a formula
creatinin clearance (= rate of expulsion from the body)
creatinin clearance =concentration of creatinin in the urine * volume of
urine
concentration of creatinin in the plasma * time
creatinin
5 stadia after KDOQI
= renal disease outcomes quality initiative• based on the ultra-filtration rate of the glomeruli
in the kidney
Stadium GFR with proteinuria without proteinuria
1 > 89 renal disease with normal function normal finding
2 60 – 89renal disease with mild renal
insufficiencymild renal insufficiency, but no
renal disease
3 30 – 59 renal disease with moderate renal insufficiency
4 15 – 29 renal disease with heavy renal insufficiency
5 < 15 chronic renal failure

Role of the kidney
removal of metabolic waste products• water balance• electrolyte balance• acid-base balance• removal of medications and toxic substances• release of hormones:
– renin (blood pressure)– erythropoietin (eryhtropoiesis)– Vitamin D3 (metabolism of the bones)
diseases occurring with renal insufficiency
diseases leading to renal
insufficiency

terminal renal insufficiency & treatment possibilities
1. hemodialysis
2. peritoneal dialysis
3. transplantation
1. hemodialysis
2. peritoneal dialysis
cannot be applied indefinitely due to sclerosis of the endothelium
3. transplantation
prevention of renal insufficiency
• healthy nutrition in combination with exercise
• balanced blood pressure
• balanced diabetes (treatment with insulin)
• sufficient water intake (approx. 2L of water a day)
in all cases prevention is the better way to go for rather than acute treatment
economical aspects of renal insufficiency
• 60.000 people in Germany need to go to dialysis (94% hemodialysis, 6% peritoneal dialysis)
• treatment of a patient costs cca 50.000 – 60.000€ per year
• a transplantation surgery costs cca. 30.000€ and the costs for sustaining the transplant within the patient cca. 20.000 – 25.000€ a year
costs of transplant would already be amortized after one year
• waiting list: 12.000 – 15.000 patients 3.000 patients are receiving a draft organ
sneak peek into the future
• health prevention subject at school• optimization of dialysis treatment
– reusage of dialysators– more adequate solutions for peritoneal dialysis
• optimization of transplantation– living donation– optimization of legitimate principles– xenotransplantation– artificial organs produced by monoclonal stem cells
