Kidney and urological disorders
In this session you will learn management of various kidney and urological disorders
Renal artery stenosis
Renal artery stenosis is a condition characterized by narrowing of one or both renal arteries, resulting in reduced blood flow to the kidneys. The reduced renal perfusion activates compensatory mechanisms that increase blood pressure and may progressively damage kidney function.
Cystic kidney disease
Cystic kidney disease refers to a group of acquired or hereditary disorders characterized by the formation of fluid-filled cysts within the kidneys. These cysts may progressively enlarge, causing structural distortion, loss of normal kidney tissue, impaired kidney function, and eventual kidney failure.
Acute kidney graft rejection
Acute kidney graft rejection is an immune-mediated injury to a transplanted kidney that occurs when the recipient’s immune system recognizes the donor kidney as foreign and mounts an immune response against the graft. It is a major cause of early kidney transplant dysfunction and can threaten long-term graft survival if not recognized and treated promptly.
