After kidney failure, various waste products can build up in the blood, and each kind can have different effects on your health. \n\nSalt can increase blood pressure, so you may be encouraged to reduce salt intake. (Salt also has the effect of increasing thirst, so it makes it more difficult for patients to restrict their fluid intake).  \n\nPotassium is a mineral which is found in the cells of body tissue, and any excess would normally be removed by the kidneys. Too high a level of potassium is bad for the heart - in extreme case it may even cause it to stop. \n\nPhosphate is a substance that is widely found in foods. It works very closely with the mineral calcium, and the healthy body keeps these two substances in balance. High phosphate levels may be associated with itch and over the longterm can damage blood vessels. \n\nProtein is an essential nutrient that enables the body to build muscles. Low levels of protein can lead to fluid retention and to a reduction of the body’s ability to fight off infections. \n\nSome patients may need vitamin B and C supplements. \nIron levels may drop and cause anaemia, this can be replaced with iron tablets.

Plasma is filtered in the kidney by glomerulus.\nThe newly filtrate has same concentration as plasma (almost every component of plasma, except plasma proteins).\nIn kidney, exactly in the distal tuble, the glomerular filtrate is concentrated by resorbing the excess water. So the filtrate (which finally become urine), has more higher concentration of urea than plasma.\nIn the distal tubule, the excess water in the filtrate is absorbed by more hyper-osmolar renal medulla. [ should look the exact mechnismsin in physiology textbooks]\nThe urine of the person having damaged kidney is very diluted (loss of capacity of resorbing the excess water from the filtrate)., so it's concentration(of almost every component) is about that of plasma.

In end stage renal disease (ESRD), the blood flow to the kidneys may be drastically reduced due to all the damage to the filtering structures in the kidney (the glomeruli).  Urine output decreases as a result, and toxic substances build up in the blood.  The sum effect of this is "uremia," a complex biochemical syndrome that results from this toxic buildup.  Blood urea nitrogen and creatinine are two blood markers that rise in renal disease.  Electrolyte levels can also become deranged in renal disease.\n\nDiabetes is one of the most common causes of end-stage renal disease.  ESRD is treated by dialysis several times per week -- essentially an artificial filter to take the place of the kindeys.  Renal transplant is often necessary.

There are three lines of treatment. The first is simply control of pain, for which your physician may prescribe an analgesic other than aspirin. The second treatment is control of inflammation caused by uric-acid crystals. For this your physician may prescribe an anti-inflammatory drug. Alfalfa is a good source of minerals and other nutrients that help to reduce serum uric acid. Take 2,000 to 3,000 milligrams daily in tablet or capsule form.\n\n  When an attack of gout strikes, eat only raw fruits and vegetables for two weeks. Juices are best.\n  Maintain a diet low in purines at all times. Purines are organic compounds that contribute to uric acid formation.\n\nConsume plenty of quality water. Fluid intake promotes the excretion of uric acid.\n\nAvoid rich foods such as cakes and pies. Leave white flour and sugar products out of your diet.

Why spend all that money when you can do it for less?  Try the Salt Water Flush.\n\nDIRECTIONS: Prepare a full quart of luke-warm water and add two level (rounded for the Canadian quart) teaspoons of Sea Salt . Do not use ordinary iodized salt as it will not work properly. Drink the entire quart of salt and water first thing in the morning. This must be taken on an empty stomach. The salt and water will not separate but will stay intact and quickly and thoroughly wash the entire tract in about one hour. Several eliminations will likely occur. The salt water has the same specific gravity as the blood, hence the kidneys cannot pick up the water and the blood cannot pick up the salt. This may be taken as often as needed for proper washing of the entire digestive system.\n\nIf the salt water does not work the first time, try adding a little more or a little less salt until the proper balance is found; or possible take extra water with or without salt. This often increases the activity. Remember, it can do no harm at any time. The colon needs a good washing, but do it the natural way—the salt water way.\n\nMake sure you're around a toilet for a couple of hours!

What is kidney failure? \n\nThe function of the kidneys is, among other things, to get rid of the waste products that result from the body's metabolism. \n\nOne of the major by-products of the metabolism of protein (muscle) is urea. The kidneys remove the waste products by extracting them from the blood and sending them along the ureter to the bladder, from where they are excreted in the urine.\n\nIf the kidney function fails, the waste products accumulate in the blood and the body. The term for this build-up is azotaemia. \n\n \nTerm watch\n\nAzotaemia is the build up of waste products that accumulate in the blood and the body when the kidneys fail to function. \n \n \nVery mild levels of azotaemia may give little or no symptoms, but if the kidney failure continues then symptoms will start to appear. \n\nIf the kidney (or renal) failure is of sufficient degree to cause symptoms, it is called uraemia.\n\nWhat causes renal failure? \n\nRenal failure can happen rapidly - over days, weeks or months (acute renal failure) or slowly over a period of years (chronic renal failure).\n\n\nAcute renal failure\n\nThis may occur with any serious illness or operation, particularly those complicated by severe infection. If the blood supply to the kidneys is reduced considerably from blood loss, a fall in blood pressure, severe dehydration or lack of salt, then the kidneys may be damaged. If this problem lasts long enough there can be permanent damage to the kidney tissue.\n\nSudden blockage to the drainage of urine from the kidney can cause damage. A kidney stone is a possible cause of this. \n\nAcute kidney damage can occur as a rare side effect of some medications and other rare conditions. \n\n\nChronic renal failure\n\nThere are many causes of chronic renal failure, including inflammatory conditions affecting the kidney tissue, as a complication of long-standing diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes), chronic blockage to the drainage of the kidneys and as a result of certain inherited conditions such as polycystic kidney disease. Often, the cause has occurred many years earlier and cannot be identified.\n\n\nWhat are the symptoms?\n\n\nAcute renal failure\n\nHere the symptoms are largely those of the condition causing the kidney failure, such as:\n\n\nblood loss, causing a drop in blood pressure.\n\n\nvomiting and diarrhoea, causing dehydration.\n\n\ncrush injuries. If large amounts of muscle are damaged there is a release of toxic protein substances that are harmful to the kidneys.\n\n\nSudden blockage of urine drainage.\n\n\n\n\nChronic renal failure\n\nThe damage to the kidneys is usually 'silent' and not noticed at an early stage. It may be discovered incidentally from blood or urine tests done for other reasons. High blood pressure very commonly occurs with it. Symptoms are uncommon unless kidney failure is far advanced, when any of the following may be present:\n\n\ntiredness\n\n\nitching\n\n\nloss of appetite\n\n\nnausea and vomiting\n\n\nbreathlessness \n\n\nfluid retention, shown as ankle swelling (oedema)\n\n\nweakness.\n\n\n\n\nHow is renal failure treated? \n\n\nAcute renal failure \n\nMost causes of acute renal failure can be treated and the kidney function will return to normal with time. Replacement of the kidney function by dialysis (artificial kidney) may be necessary until kidney function has returned.\n\n\nChronic renal failure\n\nChronic kidney damage is usually not reversible and if extensive, the kidneys may eventually fail completely. Dialysis or kidney transplantation will then become necessary.\n\nChronic kidney failure is a serious condition which needs urgent attention when it is diagnosed, but the kidney damage is usually 'silent' and not noticed at an early stage.\n\nOccasionally it may be possible to identify and treat the cause of the renal failure itself. More commonly the treatment has to be non-specific. In all cases, careful blood pressure control is extremely important in slowing the pr

You may find this hard to believe, but you have to drink water..... and lots of it . In order to de-toxify your body, the kidneys have to be flushed, and water is the natural way to get your kidneys to produce. Good luck !

I drink 16 ounces an hour, until I don't need it. Anymore than that can cause kidney damage. But that's the Military Standard in the U.S. The key is, you want to drink water until your urine is clear. Once it starts turning yellow again, start drinking. Make a habit out of it, and you won't have to pay attention. Remember, the more toxins you take in, the more water you will need, and the more often you will need to urinate. Try to eliminate caffeine, alcohol, etc. If you sweat more, drink more.

My family has history of kidney stone and bladder stones.  It was very very painful for them as well as the relatives that took care of them watching them suffer.\n\nIt has then become a family practice to avoid these problems, so hopefully I can be some kind of help here.\n\nKidney stone or any kind of stone development is partly due to eating habit and behavior pattern.  So watchout on your diet and how you move about the day should solve this problem completely.\n\nThe stone is due to deposit of minerals in your body, most likely in your urine fluid.  There are also bacteria in your urine that will convert your urine into ammonia, which will help form these stones in your Kidney or bladder.  The stone takes anywhere from 4-6 years to form, as long as you take care of youself it shouldn't happen to you.\n\nYou should watching out your mineral intake such as calcium and magnesian (salt), just keep it balance and don't eat too much of it.  That should lower your mineral deposit in your fluid.  But don't go on a low-calcium diet, otherwise your body will be lack of calcium and other problem will arises.\n\nYou should also watch out for sitting down for a long period of time, since it will slow down your blood circulation in your lower back (kidney) area, just remember to get up and walk around for 5-10 mins every 45-60mins to help your blood circulate.  \n\nAlso if you sit down in a chair and lay back your back, it creates pressure / tension in your lower back part of your body.  Try not to lay backward when you sitting down and instead sit straight, a good posture would help your blood flow and ease tension in your lower back.\n\nYou also need to drink enough water during the day.  Having water constantly flowing through your body will dilute your urine and help your body get rid of mineral deposit through daily urine discharge.  \n\nBy diluting your urine you also decrease the chance of the bacteria converting your urine into ammonia, since your urine is not that concentrated and not much to convert.\n\nThe last thing to do is exercise regularly, like jogging / swimming or some kind of sport 2-3 times a week to keep the body in shape.  A good cardiovascular exercise that would boost blood circulation will definitely help you prevent any disease.\n\nHope this helps.

Unless one is diabetic, glucose is not lost during nephronic filtering, thus the glucose levels would be equivalent in arteriole and venous blood.  Urea, on the other hand, is filtered out in the kidney (thus excreting waste nitrogen), therefore urea levels in the renal artery would be much greater than that in the renal vein- This is a classic problem of which substances are preferentially filtered in the kidney.  In a person with uncontrolled diabetes there is hyperglycemia, in which the blood glucose levels are much greater then normal-in this case, glucose is filtered out in the kidneys- prior to modern times, physicians used to determine diabetes by tasting the urine of patients to determine if there was sugar in it...

The pH of the body fluids has to be carefully regulated in the range 7.35 to 7.45, since deviations outside this range affects normal functioning of cells and body systems. One of the ways the kidneys have of excreting excess acid in the body fluids is to excrete ammonia (or rather, the ammonium ion: NH4+) in the urine. Exposed to air, the ammonium ions in urine change back to ammonia and produce the distinctive smell. The source of the excess acid could be from the diet, for example - acidic foods such as citrus fruits, vinegar and so on, or as a result of heavy exercise. This may be enough to produce transient rises in ammonium content of the urine.\n\nAnother component of urine which can result in the release of ammonia is urea, particularly if the urine is left standing for a while. Urea is produced during protein metabolism. The building blocks of proteins are amino acids, and these contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. When proteins are broken down by cells throughout the body by a process called deamination, ammonia is formed as a waste product and released into the blood.  The liver converts this ammonia to urea which is then excreted by the kidneys. The amount excreted will therefore depend on the amount of protein consumed and the rate of protein breakdown in the tissues. On standing a specimen of urine will be exposed to oxygen in the atmosphere. The presence of oxygen converts the urea in the specimen back into ammonia. Hence, a specimen of urine can give off an ammoniacal smell if allowed to stand for any length of time.\n\nIf the ammonia smell becomes noticeable over longer periods, and particularly if it is accompanied by illness, then it is important to seek a medical opinion. An infection of the urinary tract can produce urine with a strong ammoniacal smell as many of the pathogens (commonly gram-negative bacilli found in the gastrointestinal tract) are urea-splitting organisms. A vaccine against persistent bladder and urinary tract infections is due to go on trial at the end of this year (Coghlan, 1999). The vaccine targets Escherichia coli, the bacterium responsible for 85 per cent of all urinary tract and bladder infections. Other clinical problems such as diarrhoea and respiratory problems can also increase the smell of ammonia. A metabolic disturbance such as diabetic ketoacidosis will lead to an increase production of ammonia as protein is utilised for heat and energy (gluconeogenesis).

reduce fat fast pills.\n\ntake a lot of water before every meal eat light popcorns or instead you could try celery \n\nAccording to Hippocrates (the father of medicine), celery calms the nerve – perhaps because of the high calcium content. It’s good on kidney and will help eliminate body’s waste through the urine.\n\nSome teas help to reduce that difficult areas how about Lemon Grass (Lemongrass) / Cymbopogon citratus
