    Renal function

    The ability of the kidneys to filter waste products from the blood and maintain normal fluid balance in the body.

    Renal disease

    Conditions affecting the kidneys, leading to a decrease in their ability to function properly.

    Uremia

    A buildup of waste products and toxins in the blood due to impaired kidney function.

    Renal hypertension

    A condition characterized by high blood pressure due to dysfunctional kidneys.

    Study Notes

    Importance of Renal Function

    • Maintaining normal body fluid volume and composition is crucial.
    • Essential for removing waste products and drugs from the body.

    Causes of Renal Function Loss

    • Renal disease: Infections, glomerulonephritis, high blood pressure (hypertension), diabetes, and congenital defects.
    • Renal hypofunction: Severe shock or significant blood loss (hemorrhage).
    • Obstruction of renal outflow: Kidney stones or prostate tumors.

    Effects of Kidney Disease on the Body

    • Cardiovascular: Hypertension and atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of arteries).
    • Gastrointestinal: Loss of appetite, weight loss, nausea/vomiting, peptic ulcers, and hiccups.
    • Neuromuscular: Headaches, drowsiness, and tremors.
    • Hematological: Bleeding (due to platelet dysfunction or anticoagulants), and anemia (due to reduced erythropoietin production).
    • Other: Bruising, rashes, increased susceptibility to infections.

    Symptoms of Kidney Disease

    • Weight loss and poor appetite.
    • Shortness of breath (dyspnea).
    • Swelling in ankles, feet, and hands (edema).
    • Blood in urine (hematuria).
    • Increased urination frequency, insomnia, and itchy skin.

    General Management of Kidney Disease Patients

    • Low-protein diet.
    • Potassium restriction.
    • Control of salt and water intake.
    • Dialysis or kidney transplant.
    • Preventing further kidney damage.

    Dental Relevance and Management

    • Increased risk of infections: Candidiasis, herpes simplex/zoster, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus.
    • Increased risk of cancers: Skin, lip, cervical cancer, Kaposi's sarcoma, lymphomas.
    • Dental implications: Reduced salivary flow, bad breath (halitosis), stunted growth, metallic taste, and salivary gland swelling.
    • Developmental issues: Delayed tooth eruption and enamel hypoplasia.
