Kidney failure prevention diet and natural home remedies
Acute kidney failure is the inability of the kidneys to filter waste from the blood. If the kidneys lose their filtering ability, the waste accumulates in the blood and its levels become dangerously high, disrupting the blood’s own chemical balance.
Acute kidney failure can develop rapidly. It is commonly seen in persons who are already hospitalized, specifically those who are critically ill or in intensive care.
Acute kidney failure can be a fatal condition, but it can be reversible, too. Continue reading…
Kidney failure risk is greater in chronic kidney disease patients who also have atrial fibrillation. The research findings pave the way for further exploring the link between these conditions, which could potentially lead to improved treatments.
Patients with chronic kidney disease often progress to kidney failure, requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant. It has been well established that many kidney diseases and kidney failure patients also have atrial fibrillation. This increases the risk of stroke as well as death. Continue reading…
Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) is a type of kidney failure that occurs in patients with severe liver problems. There are two types of HRS. Type 1 is associated with accelerated kidney failure and type 2 is associated with a more gradual kidney failure. Type 1 HRS is characterized by an overproduction of creatinine. In type 2, the disease progression is slower and symptoms may be subtle. HRS is almost always fatal, so it should always be approached as a medical emergency. Continue reading…

Kidney failure patients face a higher risk of dying early due to cardiovascular causes. The study found that dialysis patients may have altered blood clotting, which increases their risk of bleeding and stroke.
The researchers analyzed the blood of 171 chronic hemodialysis patients and found that they had denser clot structures, compared to patients without kidney disease. Furthermore, patients with compact clots were at a higher risk of death from cardiovascular causes, along with a higher risk of mortality from other causes, too. Lastly, in dialysis patients, the protein that is actively participating in the clotting process—fibrinogen—exhibits certain modifications that are different from patients without kidney disease.
