Acute kidney injury was one of the most expensive conditions seen in U.S. hospitals in 2011, with an aggregated cost of nearly $4.7 billion for approximately 498,000 hospital stays. [46] This was a 346% increase in hospitalizations from 1997, when there were 98,000 acute kidney injury stays. [47]
Hemolytic–uremic syndrome ( HUS) is a group of blood disorders characterized by low red blood cells, acute kidney injury (previously called acute renal failure), and low platelets. [ 1][ 3] Initial symptoms typically include bloody diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and weakness. [ 1][ 2] Kidney problems and low platelets then occur as the diarrhea ...
Nephrotic syndrome is a collection of symptoms due to kidney damage. This includes protein in the urine, low blood albumin levels, high blood lipids, and significant swelling. Other symptoms may include weight gain, feeling tired, and foamy urine. Complications may include blood clots, infections, and high blood pressure.
Historically, nephritic syndrome has been characterized by blood in the urine ( hematuria ), high blood pressure ( hypertension ), decreased urine output <400 ml/day ( oliguria ), red blood cell casts, pyuria, and mild to moderate proteinuria. [ 8][ 9] If the condition is allowed to progress without treatment, it can eventually lead to azotemia ...
Acute kidney injury (AKI), previously called acute renal failure (ARF), [12] [13] is a rapidly progressive loss of renal function, [14] generally characterized by oliguria (decreased urine production, quantified as less than 400 mL per day in adults, [15] less than 0.5 mL/kg/h in children or less than 1 mL/kg/h in infants); and fluid and ...
Renal infarction is a medical condition caused by an abrupt disruption of the renal blood flow in either one of the segmental branches or the major ipsilateral renal artery. [ 3] Patients who have experienced an acute renal infarction usually report sudden onset flank pain, which is often accompanied by fever, nausea, and vomiting.
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis ( RPGN) is a syndrome of the kidney that is characterized by a rapid loss of kidney function, [ 4][ 5] (usually a 50% decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) within 3 months) [ 5] with glomerular crescent formation seen in at least 50% [ 5] or 75% [ 4] of glomeruli seen on kidney biopsies.
Complications. Acute kidney injury. Renal colic, also known as ureteric colic, is a type of abdominal pain commonly caused by obstruction of ureter from dislodged kidney stones. The most frequent site of obstruction is the vesico-ureteric junction (VUJ), the narrowest point of the upper urinary tract.
