Insights
Nefro-urologic diseases caused 0.8% of deaths in 19th-century Jerez, primarily affecting males aged 25-75. Peak mortality occurred in July, December, and January, though data limitations exist.
Area of Science:
- Medical History
- Public Health
- Demography
Background:
- Nefro-urologic diseases represent a significant cause of mortality globally.
- Understanding historical disease patterns is crucial for contemporary public health strategies.
- 19th-century mortality data provides insights into past disease burdens and demographic factors.
Abstract:
The causes of mortality from nefro-urologic diseases in Jerez de los Caballeros (Badajoz) during the nineteenth century will be our object of study. We have analyzed the death registry books of the parishes in Jerez. The percentage of deaths from nefro-urologic diseases compared to other pathologies is 0.8%, being most affected males in age ranges from 25-34 and 65-75 years of age. The months with the highest mortality were July, December and January. Due to the deficient death registrations in the first decades of the century, the results should be taken with caution.

Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...

Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
