Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) progresses through distinct clinical phases: the oliguric, diuretic, and recovery phases, each marked by unique manifestations and challenges.Oliguric Phase:The oliguric phase is the initial stage of AKI, typically lasting 10 to 14 days. This phase is marked by a significant reduction in urine output, usually less than 400 mL per day, indicating decreased kidney function. Fluid retention is a prominent feature, leading to symptoms such as edema, hypertension, and...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments01:11

Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments

556
In patients with renal impairment, drugs undergo significant changes in their pharmacokinetics, which require dosage adjustments to ensure safe and effective therapy.
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...

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Transplantation Medicine
  • Metabolic Health

Background:

  • Weight gain and obesity are prevalent complications following renal transplantation.
  • These issues pose significant challenges to patient health and graft survival.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the underlying causes of post-renal transplant weight gain.
  • To emphasize the importance of preventative strategies for managing weight in this patient population.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed and Ulakbim databases.
  • Keywords included "renal transplant," "transplantation," "weight gain," and "obesity."

Main Results:

  • Weight gain is frequently observed within the first year after kidney transplant, with significant increases in body mass index.
