Generally, a urinary tract infection, or UTI, takes hold when bacteria travel up the urethra to the bladder. If the bacteria ascend higher, a person may experience a kidney infection. The most frequent type of bacteria associated with UTIs is E. coli. Symptoms of a UTI include a frequent urge to urinate, burning pain in the pelvic area, or burning upon urination. Some people may feel pressure above the pubic bone.
Cysts may also develop in other organs, particularly the liver. Frequent complications of polycystic kidney disease include dangerously high blood pressure (hypertension), pain in the back or sides, blood in the urine (hematuria), recurrent urinary tract infections, kidney stones, and heart valve abnormalities. Additionally, people with polycystic kidney disease
The name “PKD” really is a misnomer, however, in that many individuals also have significant liver disease (sometimes necessitating liver transplant) and cardiovascular disease (resulting in hypertension, strokes, aneurysms of the blood vessels of the brain and aorta, and cardiac vascular disorders). For the most part, polycystic kidney disease is caused by mutations in the PKD1, PKD, and PKHD1 genes. Mutations in these genes cause both autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease. Acquired cystic kidney disease is nonhereditary, it most often occurs in people with long-term kidney damage. A person with polycystic kidney disease will experience symptoms as a result of the damage caused by cysts (fluid-filled sacs) that develop in the kidneys.
In general, both children and adults with sickle cell anemia are more vulnerable to infections. This vulnerability is the result of spleen, the organ that filters blood, damage from sickled erythrocytes. Spleen damage prevents the organ from destroying bacteria in the blood. All individuals with the disease, especially young children, are susceptible to bacterial infections such as sepsis, pneumonia and meningitis (Bindon, 2004). Pneumococcal infections was the principal cause of death in children with sickle cell anemia until physicians began routinely giving penicillin on a preventive basis to those who are diagnosed at birth or in early infancy (Bownas, 2000).
These symptoms may come and go; different symptoms may appear at different times during the course of this disease. No two cases of Lupus are alike so people may experience different signs and symptoms. Here is a list of the most common symptoms of lupus for men and women; extreme fatigue, headaches, painful or swollen joints, fever, anemia, swelling, pain in the chest, sensitivity to sunlight, hair loss, and abnormal blood clotting. This disease affects the kidneys, lungs, central nervous system, blood vessels, blood, and the heart. By affecting the kidney, it may impair their ability to rid waste from their body.
Addiction to these 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. Antibiotics e.g. Amoxicillin Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. Diarrhea, feeling sick and vomiting are the most common side effects.
These renal of the kidney cysts are filled with fluid and formed by individual nephrons, the subunits of the kidney. People with PKD may also have cysts in the liver, pancreas and other organs. About 10 to 15 percent may have swellings in the walls of blood vessels in the brain (called aneurysms). In time, virtually all of the nephrons of either kidneys either become cystic or are compressed, distorted and rendered increasingly ineffective by the pressure of adjacent cysts. In the process, both kidneys enlarge to three or four times the normal size, while function decreases.The patient is unaware of the disease unless
Chronic pain is very draining and can limit many activities. Almost every patient with Sickle cell has a painful crises. Some patients have them once a year where others have them 15 or more times a year. The most common places these crises occur are in the bones, abdomen, lungs, and joints blocking blood flow and organ
MRSA skin infections may develop pus or weep other fluids. If left untreated, a MRSA skin infection can go progressively deeper into the body, infecting blood and organs.

MRSA skin infections may develop pus or weep other fluids. If left untreated, a MRSA skin infection can go progressively deeper into the body, infecting blood and organs.
In order for someone to have sickle cell anemia they must inherit the gene from both their mother and their father. It is possible for someone to have the sickle cell genetic code but not experience any symptoms, and that is because their body also produces normal red blood cells. In class we had discussed genetic counseling, and because sickle cell anemia is inherited, those who have had loved ones diagnosed with this should seek some sort of genetic counseling to see if they are at risk of
