It has been proven that magnesium produces a complex with oxalate and lowers the CaOx output in the urine which then lessens the chances of forming kidney stones. Hypocalcemia- When the kidneys are having issues and develop kidney stones, this can cause more calcium to come out through urine which then lowers the calcium number in the body. This also makes it harder for the kidneys to activate any Vitamin D so when a patient is low on calcium a supplement is given to increase the numbers. Lack of calcium can also cause symptoms such as twitching and muscle aches. Hypercalcemia- When it comes to kidney stones, calcium has a lot to do with the formation of them.
For example, peritoneal carcinomatosis or malignant ascites may be treated by surgical resection of the cancer and chemotherapy, while management of ascites related to heart failure is directed toward treating heart failure with medical management and dietary restrictions. cirrhosis of the liver is the main cause of ascites. Diet Managing ascites in patients with cirrhosis typically involves limiting dietary sodium intake and the use of diuretics (water
If this fails, a pancrelipase and sodium bicarbonate solution may be instilled in order to "digest" the clog. Metabolic complications: Metabolic complications of enteral nutrition are similar to those that occur during PN, although the incidence and severity may be less. Careful monitoring can minimize or prevent metabolic complications. Refeeding syndrome: Refeeding of severely malnourished patients may result in "refeeding syndrome" in which there are acute decreases in circulating levels of potassium, magnesium, and phosphate. The sequel of refeeding syndrome adversely affect nearly every organ system and include cardiac dysrhythmias, heart failure, acute respiratory failure, coma, paralysis, nephropathy, and liver dysfunction.
3) Describe the common adverse reactions to medication, how each can be recognised and the appropriate action(s) required. Common adverse reactions are diarrhoea, skin rashes, sickness, facial swelling, blistering of the skin and wheezing. These can all be recognised by reading the side effects on medication packets or contacting a pharmacist. The appropriate action to take if a person supported is having an adverse reaction is to contact doctors/hospital so they can be treated appropriately. 4) Explain the different routes of medicine administration.
Polycystic Kidney Disease Affecting somewhere near 12.5 million people, polycystic kidney disease is the most commonly inherited life threatening disease .Genetically passed down from generation to generation, causing renal failure in most cases. This disorder involves complications mainly to the kidneys but can spread to other areas. The kidneys maintain chemical and hormonal levels in the body as well as filter your blood to eliminate the waste by- products. Lose of normal functions in the kidney as well as the formation of cysts in the tissue and buildup of toxins in the blood result from this disorder. Fluid filled sacs called cysts develop in the tissue of the kidneys and may range from severe
amoxicillin, antidepressants e.g. cipramil, Anticoagulants e.g. warfarin. The effect of Analgesics is to relieve pain such as head aches and the potential side effects are that they can be addiction is can happen if taken over a long period of time. Also, irritation of the stomach, liver damage and sleep disturbances as some analgesics contain caffeine.
You will receive a physical exam and a nervous system exam. Tests used to diagnose are an antibody test, CBC, Chest X-ray, kidney biopsy, or urinalysis. There is no cure but the main goal is control the symptoms. Forms of treatment include NSAIDs like Ibuprofen, Corticosteroid creams for rash or Antimalaria drug and low-dose corticosteroids for skin and arthritis symptoms. In severe cases high dose corticosteroids or cytotoxic drugs may be ordered.
Renal causes may be due to reduced renal function. The causes are acute and chronic kidney failure, acute and chronic nephritis, tubular necrosis and other renal diseases. Post renal causes may be due to reduced excretion of urea. And these could be due to obstruction to urinary outflow such as by calculi, bladder and prostate tumours, or a severe infection (Bishop ML 6th edition). The main cause of uremia is damage to the kidneys, whether because of Bright’s disease (glomerulonephritis), hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or some other disorder that impairs kidney
Vitamin supplements containing enzymes, to help aid digestion are given. Asthma therapy is also given to a cystic fibrosis sufferer and antibiotics to stop infections of the lungs developing. Councelling treatment is also offered because of the psychological aspects of the disease. Unfortunatelythough there is as yet no cure for cystic fibrosis, the only treatment on offer aims to help control the disease and the symptoms. Research being currently carried out into cystic fibrosis includes trying to find a cure through gene therapy, this would try to prevent lung disease in a cystic fibrosis sufferer.
They should take folic acid (vital for producing RBC) because red blood cells alter quickly. The purpose of treatment is to manage and control symptoms, and to limit the number of crises that occur. During crises episodes, patients are treated with pain medicines and by drinking water. It's important to treat the pain. Non-narcotic medications may be effective, but most patients need narcotics.
