Extractions: Workgroup Products Mission Statement: To improve supportive care and quality of life for ESRD patients and their families. The End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Workgroup worked to improve supportive care and quality of life for dialysis patients from Spring 2000 Spring 2002. Chaired by Alvin Moss, MD (Director of the West Virginia University Center for Health Ethics and Law), this workgroup consisted of 23 members including nurses, social workers, nephrologists, and kidney transplant recipients. To accomplish its goals, the workgroup divided into three subgroups Education, Quality of Life, and Quality of Dying. The ESRD Workgroup made considerable progress in bringing palliative care issues to the attention of the nephrology community, including an invitation from the Chair of the American Board of Internal Medicine Subspecialty Board on Nephrology to submit questions on end-of-life care for the board certification examination. In addition, the Renal Physicians Association (RPA) and the American Society of Nephrology's (ASN) joint Quality Patient Care Committee meeting revised their position statement on Quality Care at the End-of-Life to incorporate workgroup findings in the Fall of 2001. This revised position statement has been widely circulated. The ESRD Workgroup completed its work with the support of the Robert Wood Johnson Promoting Excellence Program in the winter of 2002, with finalization of a

By learning about your treatment choices, you can work with your doctor to pick the one that's best for you and with the help of your health care team, family, and friends, you may be able to lead a full, active life. The following describes the choices for treatment: Dialysis Hemodialysis uses a dialyzer, or special filter, to clean your blood. The dialyzer connects to a machine. During treatment, your blood travels through tubes into the dialyzer. The dialyzer filters out wastes and extra fluids. Then the newly cleaned blood flows through another set of tubes and back into your body.

It usually occurs as chronic renal failure progresses to the point where kidney function is less than 10% of baseline. At this point, the kidney function is so low that without dialysis or kidney transplantation, complications are multiple and severe, and death will occur from accumulation of fluids and waste products in the body.

Bone Disease In End Stage Renal Disease(Renal Osteodystrophy)
The distribution of bone disease is different in diabetes mellitus fromthat seen in nondiabetic patients with endstage renal disease.
http://www.kidneydoctor.com/bone/bone.htm

Extractions: Pathogenesis of renal osteodystrophy Ari Kostadaras, M.D. Changes in mineral metabolism and bone structure are an almost universal concomitant of progressive renal failure. There are two classic types of renal bone disease, with many patients showing evidence of both disorders (called mixed osteodystrophy): Osteitis fibrosa, in which bone turnover is increased due to secondary hyperparathyroidism. Osteomalacia, in which bone turnover is reduced with an increased volume of unmineralized bone (osteoid); this problem is in most, but not all patients due primarily to aluminum deposition in bone. Symptoms due to these disorders, such as fractures and bone pain with osteomalacia or bone pain in osteitis fibrosa, generally do not occur until the patient is already on maintenance dialysis. However, subclinical disease begins early, particularly with osteitis fibrosa. SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM AND OSTEITIS FIBROSA A tendency to phosphate retention, beginning early in the disease as the fall in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decreases the filtered phosphate load, plays a central role in the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism . Over the long-term, however, the hyperparathyroidism is maladaptive, producing bone disease and contributing to dysfunction in other organs. Furthermore, there is a changing effect of PTH on phosphate balance in advanced renal failure.

Extractions: Who is most at risk for ESRD? See also... Each year in the United States, more than 50,000 people are diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), a serious condition in which the kidneys fail to rid the body of wastes. ESRD is the final stage of a slow deterioration of the kidneys, a process known as nephropathy. Diabetes is the most common cause of ESRD, resulting in about one-third of new ESRD cases. Even when drugs and diet are able to control diabetes, the disease can lead to nephropathy and ESRD. Most people with diabetes do not develop nephropathy that is severe enough to cause ESRD. About 15 million people in the United States have diabetes, and about 50,000 people have ESRD as a result of diabetes. Other causes include: Interstitial Nephritis - 2.9 percent Polycystic Kidney Disease - 2.9 percent

ESRD almost always follows chronic kidney failure , which may exist for 10 to 20 years or more before progression to ESRD.
