Cheap Web Site Hosting The Atypical HUS Website HUS Home Page Treatments - Symptoms Case Studies Contact /Register/Links Page ... Factor H and Other Studies Welcome! This site contains information for anyone interested in learning more about the disease called HUS (Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome) We will show the differences between two types of HUS: Typical HUS and Atypical HUS. The information is presented in both common terminology and also in medical terminology This page is dedicated to all of the children who are battling this disease. So little is known about the disease, and we hope to raise awareness and funds in order to find better treatments. Atypical HUS Atypical HUS (Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome) is not caused by an external agent (such as a bacteria, virus etc). Instead, some sort of internal chain of events sets the HUS off, and the syndrome becomes active. The syndrome is not well understood. It may be a genetic weakness due to a missing or deficient protein or enzyme. It may be a variety of other unknown causes. In either case, Atypical HUS patients have many of the the same symptons as Typical HUS Patients. However, there are quite a number of differences. While the Typical form of the disease may start off more severe, the Atypical form is subject to longer lingering effects, and is much more likely to become a chronic problem. Recurrance is much more common with the Atypical form of the disease.

22. Proteinuria An introduction, a look at who is at risk, signs if this disease and kidney failure, testing, treatment, research, points to remember and resources. From The National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse. http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/kidney/pubs/proteinuria/proteinuria.htm

Introduction Who Is at Risk? What Are the Signs of Proteinuria and Kidney Failure? What Are the Tests for Proteinuria? ... For More Information Introduction Proteinuria describes a condition in which urine contains an abnormal amount of protein. Proteins are the building blocks for all body parts, including muscles, bones, hair, and nails. Proteins in your blood also perform a number of important functions: protecting you from infection, helping your blood coagulate, and keeping the right amount of fluid circulating through your body. As blood passes through healthy kidneys, they filter the waste products out and leave in the things the body needs, like proteins. Most proteins are too big to pass through the kidneys' filters into the urine, unless the kidneys are damaged. The two proteins that are most likely to appear in urine are albumin and globulin. Albumin is smaller and therefore more likely to escape through the filters of the kidney, called glomeruli. Albumin's function in the body includes retention of fluid in the blood. It acts like a sponge, soaking up fluid from body tissues. Inflammation in the glomeruli is called glomerulonephritis

The physical aspects of kidney failure There are a number of known causes of kidney failure but in quite a lot of people the cause is never found. The commonest causes are diabetes , high blood pressure and a painless inflammation of the kidneys called glomerulonephritis . There is a progressive loss of the filtering units ( nephrons ) in the kidney. Other common causes are the inherited condition of cysts in the kidneys (polycystic kidney disease); repeated kidney infections or kidney infections ( pyelonephritis ) in childhood; and obstruction to the urine flow.

Where am I? Home document.write(document.title); Treatment of kidney failure How is kidney failure treated? While there is currently no absolute cure for kidney failure, there are several different treatments available. Monitoring and Predialysis - while the kidneys are still working well enough, the medical team will work with patients to control their symptoms and preserve the remaining function of their kidneys for as long as possible. This is done with medication (eg to control high blood pressure and control renal bone disease, and prevent anaemia) and dietary advice. Dialysis in one form or another is the most common treatment. It is the medical word for the artificial process of filtering of wastes and removal of fluid from your body - the functions the kidneys are no longer able to adequately perform. There are two different types of dialysis - peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis Transplant of a healthy kidney from a donor is the treatment option which most closely resembles normal kidney function. A successful transplant (and the operation has a good success rate) is without doubt the best treatment for a patient with kidney failure. It provides much more efficient kidney function than dialysis, so patients feel better and have more energy. However, some patients are not suitable for transplant and there is a waiting list for suitable donor kidneys to become available.

Where am I? Home Basics Kidneys document.write(document.title); About the Kidneys What causes kidney failure? The leading causes of kidney failure in the UK are diabetes and high blood pressure. Early diagnosis and careful management of these conditions can delay and even prevent the onset of kidney failure. This section looks at these and other causes of kidney disease and discusses ways it may be possible to keep the kidneys functioning for longer. It is important to remember that many people develop kidney failure for no known reason, so it is always important to seek medical advice if you experience any symptoms. These are the most common causes of chronic kidney failure. Click on any of these causes for more information. Diabetes - high levels of blood glucose (blood sugar) can damage the kidneys. High blood pressure - this is a cause of kidney failure in itself, but can also occur because of existing kidney damage and, if left untreated, leads to further damage and progression of kidney failure. Nephritis - this is when there is inflammation of the glomeruli , which are part of the filtration unit of the kidneys.

36. KIDNEY FAILURE Kidney and Urinary Tract Disorders kidney failure. DEFINITION During kidney failure,the kidneys stop filtering the body's metabolic waste products properly. http://cpmcnet.columbia.edu/texts/guide/hmg27_0004.html

Kidney and Urinary Tract Disorders KIDNEY FAILURE Since virtually all kidney disease can cause renal failure, the major focus of treatment in most cases is to preserve kidney function. We have far more kidney functioning power than necessary and most kidney diseases do not cause noticeable problems or symptoms until 90 percent of renal function is lost. The distinction between acute and chronic renal failure is crucial. Chronic Renal Failure: allows the body to adjust gradually, tolerating and compensating for the impaired function. Acute Renal Failure: occurs rapidly, in a matter of hours or a few days, and therefore causes serious metabolic disruptions. DEFINITION During kidney failure, the kidneys stop filtering the body's metabolic waste products properly. These prod-ucts collect in the blood, a condition known as uremia. CAUSE The most common causes of acute renal failure are shock (usually from blood loss), infection, and drug reac-tions, often in combination. Most cases now occur in the hospital, where the condition is easily and promptly diagnosed and acute kidney dialysis units are ready to begin treatment. Chronic renal failure is usually caused by glomerulone-phritis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, amyloidosis (ac-cumulation of protein and starch in various organs), and other conditions that cause long-term kidney damage.

How to become a donor Sign Me Up Questions and Answers Children's Leaflet Kidney Failure in the Family Organ donation and the South Asian community Kidney Failure in the Family Search this site: Do you want to help? If you have a relative with kidney failure, treatment by dialysis will probably be the first step, followed by a place on the national waiting list for a possible transplant. Sometimes the wait for a kidney can be a long one and in that situation, members of the family may begin to think about what they can do to help. This leaflet explains what happens when a kidney is donated by a relative. THINKING ABOUT DONATION Kidney transplantation is made possible by donation from people who have died in hospital. The majority will have died in an intensive care unit as a result of severe brain injury – a process called cadaveric donation. Unfortunately, there are never enough kidneys available to meet the needs of a growing waiting list of patients. The matching of blood group and tissue type is critical to success which means that each kidney which becomes available would only be suitable for a very few patients on the waiting list. This can extend the waiting time even further.
