Improving Quality of Life

In Kidney Disease

Kidney diseases is a worldwide public health problem. There is an increasing incidence and prevalence of patients with kidney failure requiring replacement therapy, with poor outcomes and high cost. Most of the kidney patient is a major health problem associated with considerable increase in morbidity and mortality and with decreased quality of life. Outcomes of kidney diseases include not only kidney failure but also complications of decreased kidney function and other complication including hypertension, renal disease, retinopathy and neuropathy. Different types of food habit also cause formation of kidney stone, kidney cancer, etc. This study explored the potiential for extending contribution of pharmacist, physician, renal pharmacist, nephrologists, nurses make in managing patients with kidney disease as they progress to end stage kidney failure. Patients at earlier stages of kidney disease can be detected through laboratory testing and their treatments are effective in slowing the progression to kidney failure and reducing cardivascular events and thus improve the quality of life

International Review of Experimental Pathology

Kidney Disease

International Review of Experimental Pathology, Volume 30, is organized around the theme of renal disease. The choice of renal disease reflects both the author’s personal interest and the realization that there is a need for such a collection of reviews in this area. There are many new books on renal pathology, but almost all have a clinical rather than experimental orientation. The book opens with a chapter on the pathogenesis of experimentally induced renal papillary necrosis and upper urothelial carcinoma. Subsequent chapters deal with the use of cell cultures in the study of renal diseases; mechanisms of cyclosporine nephrotoxicity in humans and animal systems; spontaneously occurring renal diseases in laboratory animals; and the use of video microscopy to define the reactivity of the renal microvasculature and the hydraulic permeability of the glomerular capillaries. This book will be of interest to a diverse group of readers interested in renal disease. This broad spectrum of potential readership is reflected in the list of contributors which includes, in addition to pathologists, nephrologists, anatomists, veterinarians, and experimental chemists. This volume will also be of interest to transplant surgeons and to pediatricians specializing in renal disease.
