Problem: Kidney | Disease State
There are two types of Renal Failures: Acute and Chronic

1. ACUTE RENAL FAILURE
Acute Renal Failure is often reversible with no lasting damage.

2. CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE
In Chronic Renal Failure, the kidneys are extremely damaged. In cases of patients with end stage renal disease, patient will require dialysis and/or a kidney transplant.

Treatment Options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Renal Dialysis, the patient is connected to a machine that mechanically removes toxins & waste materials from the body. Dialysis keeps a person alive by performing the functions of the kidneys. A person may have to undergo dialysis as often as several times a day.

PERITONEAL DIALYSIS (PD)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peritoneal Dialysis is performed by surgically placing a special hollow tube into the lower abdomen. After the tube is placed, a solution called dialysate is instilled into the peritoneal cavity. The dialysate is left in the abdomen for a designated period of time. The dialysate fluid absorbs the waste products & toxins through the peritoneum. The fluid is then drained from the abdomen, measured, and discarded. 

There are 2 main types of peritoneal dialysis: continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) & Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD).

HEMODIALYSIS (HD)
For Hemodialysis a special type of access, called an arteriovenous (AV) fistula, is placed surgically, usually, in your arm. After access is established, patient will be connected to a hemodialysis machine which drains the blood. 

Wastes & excess water will be passed out from the blood through the membrane into the dialysate through a process called diffusion before the ‘clean’ blood is returned to the bloodstream. 

Hemodialysis is typically performed at a dialysis center or in a hospital and is usually performed 3 times a week & lasts for 4-5 hrs.

Did you know that Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) can weaken the bones? 

Damaged kidneys stop removing excess phosphorous from the blood and stop turning Vitamin D into calcitriol. This causes an imbalance of calcium, triggering the blood to absorb calcium from the bones hence weakening them.

The AWAK Singapore team had our annual health check-up at the office this week!

As part of the screening by SATA COMMHEALTH, key body vitals (blood pressure, BMI, visual vitals) were checked and routine laboratory tests were done.

We at AWAK practice what we preach and going for annual health screening is important because it aids in the early detection of diseases, allowing for timely intervention to achieve good health and a higher quality of life.

For example, in the United States, over 20% of individuals with hypertension have increased albuminuria (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio [UACR] ≥ 30 mg/g), yet only 7% of those with hypertension are tested for albuminuria, representing potentially millions of patients with undiagnosed Chronic Kidney Disease. With routine health screening, these gaps can be filled.

There are different types of kidney failure at acute and chronic levels as a result of sudden or long-term effects. Like any other physical ailment or disease, it is crucial to take prompt and firm actions to limit the harm or potentially reverse the damage. 

In this article by Vaisakh V T R, he addresses the lifestyle changes one can take to reduce the impact of kidney disease. 

Find out more about how to mitigate the progression of kidney disease in the article below.

Did you know that Nephrotoxocity can be caused by common over-the-counter (OTC) drugs?

Drug-induced Nephrotoxicity is a renal dysfunction that occurs due to direct or indirect exposure to Nephrotoxic prescribed drugs, OTC products, diagnostic agents, or alternative/complementary products. Most drugs found to cause Nephrotoxicity exert toxic effects by one or more common pathogenic mechanisms such as altered intraglomerular hemodynamics, tubular cell toxicity, inflammation, crystal nephropathy, rhabdomyolysis, and thrombotic microangiopathy.

Did you know Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) is the second leading cause of kidney failure? It is often referred to as the silent killer as it often presents no symptoms in its early stages.

Hypertension can constrict and narrow the blood vessels throughout the body and if your kidneys’ blood vessels are damaged, they may no longer work properly. When this occurs, your kidneys are unable to remove waste and excess fluid from your body which can raise blood pressure, starting a dangerous cycle leading to kidney failure.

By maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing stress levels and going for regular check-ups, you can identify health conditions early and reduce the risks of kidney failure.

The International Society of Nephrology (ISN) together with the ISPD (International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis) is organizing a Webinar on the Urgent Start of #Peritoneal #Dialysis on the 4th of October, 7pm IST / 9:30pm SGT.

Between 30% and 80% of patients begin dialysis at the last minute and most frequently with a temporary haemodialysis catheter. As a result, patients are unable to access the dialysis modality of their choice and incur additional costs and morbidity. It has been proven that the urgent start of peritoneal dialysis is safe and effective. This webinar will evaluate the supporting data, access options, and dialysis prescriptions.

The President of the #ISPD 2022-24 and AWAK Technologies Scientific Advisory Committee member, Prof. Edwina Brown, will be moderating the event. The webinar is free to attend, register here!
