  2. Kidney transplantation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_transplantation

    Kidney transplantation is a life-extending procedure. [87] The typical patient will live 10 to 15 years longer with a kidney transplant than if kept on dialysis. [88] The increase in longevity is greater for younger patients, but even 75-year-old recipients (the oldest group for which there is data) gain an average four more years of life.

  3. Nephronophthisis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephronophthisis

    It is classified as a medullary cystic kidney disease. The disorder is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion and, although rare, is the most common genetic cause of childhood kidney failure. It is a form of ciliopathy. [4] Its incidence has been estimated to be 0.9 cases per million people in the United States, and 1 in 50,000 births in ...

  4. Renal replacement therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_replacement_therapy

    In the context of chronic kidney disease, they are more accurately viewed as life-extending treatments, although if chronic kidney disease is managed well with dialysis and a compatible graft is found early and is successfully transplanted, the clinical course can be quite favorable, with life expectancy of many years.

  5. Hepatorenal syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatorenal_syndrome

    The definitive treatment for hepatorenal syndrome is liver transplantation, and all other therapies can best be described as bridges to transplantation. [1] [23] While liver transplantation is by far the best available management option for HRS, the mortality of individuals with HRS has been shown to be as high as 25% within the first month ...

  6. Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome - Wikipedia

    [1] [14] [18] [19] [20] For example, approximately 1 in 6 patients with aHUS will initially present with proteinuria or hematuria without acute kidney failure. [14] Patients who survive the presenting signs and symptoms endure a chronic thrombotic and inflammatory state, which puts many of them at lifelong elevated risk of sudden blood clotting ...

  7. Branchio-oto-renal syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branchio-oto-renal_syndrome

    The signs and symptoms of branchio-oto-renal syndrome are consistent with underdeveloped (hypoplastic) or absent kidneys with resultant chronic kidney disease or kidney failure. Ear anomalies include extra openings in front of the ears, extra pieces of skin in front of the ears (preauricular tags ), or further malformation or absence of the ...

  8. Dent's disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dent's_disease

    The males are prone to manifesting symptoms in early adulthood with symptoms of calculi, rickets or even with kidney failure in more severe cases. [4] In humans, gene CLCN5 is located on chromosome Xp11.22, and has a 2238-bp coding sequence that consists of 11 exons that span 25 to 30 kb of genomic DNA and encode a 746-amino-acid protein. [7]

  9. Kidney paired donation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_paired_donation

    This issue is critical for young transplant recipients who have a life expectancy that is longer than the expected graft survival (i.e. how long a transplanted kidney lasts). Deceased donor kidneys typically last 5–15 years [42] and living donor kidneys typically last 10–30 years. [42]
