Kidney and urological disorders
In this session you will learn management of various kidney and urological disorders
Kidney Transplantation
Kidney transplantation is a form of kidney replacement therapy (KRT) in which a healthy kidney from a donor is surgically implanted into a recipient with irreversible kidney failure, replacing the function of the failed kidneys. It is considered the preferred long-term treatment option for suitable patients with end-stage kidney disease because it provides improved survival, better quality of life, and greater independence compared with long-term dialysis in appropriately selected candidates.
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.
