If you’re concerned about your kidney health, there are 10 warning signs you should be aware of. Liver disease can be deadly and often goes unnoticed, with symptoms often only appearing in advanced stages.

Kidney disease is similarly dangerous, with symptoms that can be ignored until the condition becomes critical. It’s important to recognize and acknowledge the symptoms of kidney disease early on.

Here are the top 10 signs to watch out for.

In this video, Dr. Puru Dhawan will tell about causes of kidney shrinkage.

Function of kidney is excretion of waste material in the form of urine. When kidneys are not able to function properly, problem starts arising either in the form of kidneyy shrinkage or if the size is normal then also creatinine and urea level start rising as the kidneys are not able to filter blood properly.
Kidney shrinkage is a problem that decreases the size of kidneys. Shrinkage can be noticed either in one kidney or both of the kidneys.

Causes are as follows-
1. Renal Artery Stenosis- Artery which carries blood to the kidneys gets narrowed hamperimg the functioning of kidneys as kidneys does not get proper nourishment causing atrophy. This causes kidney shrinkage and decreases functioning of kidneys. Toxins start accumulating as excretion through urine is not happening.

2. Pyelonephritis- Pyelo means pus formation and Nephritis means inflammation in nephrons. In this condition it is observed that the patient is suffering from long term UTI(Urinary Tract Infection). UTI is commonly seen in females. It might be due to gram-negative bacteria or viral infection. Urine Culture Sensitivity Test is used to detect the cause of UTI. Urine Culture Sensitivity Test tells whether it is aerobic growth or infection. If the patient complains of frequent urination or burning sensation while urinating then the patient should go for Urine Routine Test. Long-term UTI infection can travel to the kidneys. Minimum medication should give maximized results. When UTI gets converted to Pyelonephritis, the size of one kidney is normal while the other is shrinking.

At Sai Sanjivani, we determine the cause of kidney failure. It might be due to-
–High Sugar Level
–High Blood Pressure
–Infection
Kidney Atrophy might be seen due to Tuberculosis

3. High Blood Pressure- One of the main reason behind kidney failure is high blood pressure. Patient’s Ultrasound determines kidney shrinkage. High blood pressure should be controlled through diet, exercise or medicines.

4. Diabetes- Diabetic patients should keep a check and control their sugar level levels as it can later on cause kidney failure.

We at Sai Sanjivani diagnose the root bcause of kidney failure and start KFRT(Kidney Function Restoration Treatment). KFRT focuses on diet regime and herbal medicines that increase kidney functioning. By increasing functioning of kidneys, waste material start flushing out from the body. Urine Routine Test should be performed to know if there is any condition that is damaging kidneys.
Protein loss in Urine Routine Test indicates intensity of kidney damage. Along with KFRT Kidney Routine Test should be performed.

In this video Doctor O’Donovan explains the Ca 19-9 lab test including 1. What Ca 19-9 is 2. Why the test is used 3. What the result of the test might mean.

Cancer antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a protein that exists on the surface of certain cells. CA 19-9 does not cause cancer; rather, it is a protein that is produced by the tumour cells, making it useful as a tumour marker to follow the course of the cancer.

CA 19-9 is elevated in most patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, but it may also be elevated in other cancers and diseases such as bowel cancer, lung cancer and gall bladder cancer, as well as in benign diseases such as gall stones, pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, and liver disease. Because elevated levels of CA 19-9 are seen in many diseases, elevated levels do not necessary mean the presence of pancreatic cancer. Very small amounts of CA19-9 may also be found in healthy patients

13 years young boy with chronic pancreatitis presented with episode of hemetemesis.
Hb was 6.1 gm%.

USG revealed pancreatic parenchymal atrophy and calcification, dilated MPD with intraductal calculi and pseudoaneurysm on antero-medial aspect of pancreatic head.

celiac angiogram depicted 2.3 x 1.7 cm sized pseudoaneurysm arising from superior pancreatico-duodenal artery (branch of gastroduodenal artery).
Coil embolization of pseudoaneurysm was done.

Beneath your ribs, you’ll find, among other things, the pancreas — an organ that works a lot like a personal health coach. Emma Bryce explains how this organ controls your sugar levels and produces a special juice that releases the nutrients from your food to help keep you in the best possible shape.

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a cancer that arises from the exocrine side of the pancreas. So the cells that make the digestive fluids, are the cells that become cancerous. A lot of the symptoms are non-specific, so pancreatic cancer is seldom detected at its early stages. Learn more about pancreatic adenocarcinoma care at Mayo Clinic: https://mayocl.in/371Edz5

Original Article: Pancreatic Beta Cell Dedifferentiation as a Mechanism of Diabetic Beta Cell Failure.
Talchai et al. Cell, 2012. 150 (6) p. 1223-1234.

A University of Oregon graduate student’s discovery could someday lead to new treatments for the nearly 1.5 million Americans with Type 1 diabetes. The research, led by Jennifer Hampton Hill in the UO lab of biologist Karen Guillemin, was detailed in a paper published in the journal eLife on Dec. 13, 2016.

A professor in the UO’s Department of Biology and the Institute of Molecular Biology who also serves as director of the META Center for Systems Biology, Guillemin examines the role bacteria play in animal development and disease. She uses a research model she helped develop involving a special kind of sterile zebrafish that don’t have any internal or external microbes of their own — no microbiome, making them germ-free — so scientists can better determine the role those microbes play as animals grow.

Having studied the pancreas and its importance to metabolism, and knowing that host metabolism can be strongly influenced by microbes, Hampton Hill naturally developed an interest in the role of bacteria in pancreatic development, which Guillemin encouraged.

Phosphorus is a mineral found in almost all foods. It works with calcium and vitamin D to keep your bones healthy. Healthy kidneys keep the right amount of phosphorus in your body. When your kidneys are not working well, phosphorus can build up in your blood. Too much phosphorus in your blood can lead to weak bones that break easily.

Many people with kidney disease need to limit phosphorus.

Depending on your stage of kidney disease, your doctor may also prescribe a medicine called a phosphate binder. This helps to keep phosphorus from building up in your blood. A phosphate binder can be helpful, but you will still need to watch how much phosphorus you eat. Ask your doctor if a phosphate binder is right for you.
