Normally, the kidneys regulate body fluid and blood pressure, as well as regulate blood chemistry and remove organic waste.enal insufficiency.

Acute Kidney Injury Definition. Acute renal failure (ARF) is characterized by azotmeia that progresses over several hours or days, with or without oliguria. Recently, the term acute kidney injury (AKI) has been popularized to increase awareness of milder degrees of renal impairment and to better describe the underlying pathobiology. Azotemia, on the other hand, signifies the accumulation of nitrogenous waste (urea) and other solutes.

Mitral Valve Insufficiency Mitral Valve Insufficiency. Definition. Mitral valve insufficiency is a term used when the valve between the upper left chamber of the heart (atrium) and the lower left chamber (ventricle) does not close well enough to prevent back flow of blood when the ventricle contracts.

Acute Kidney Injury Acute kidney injury (AKI)—or acute renal failure (ARF), as it was previously termed—is defined as an abrupt or rapid decline in renal filtration function. This condition is usually marked by a rise in serum creatinine concentration or by azotemia (a rise in blood urea nitrogen [BUN] concentration).

Chronic venous insufficiency [edit on Wikidata] Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a medical condition in which the veins cannot pump enough blood back to the heart. The most common cause of CVI is superficial venous reflux which is a treatable condition. As functional venous valves are required to provide for efficient blood return from the lower extremities, this condition typically affects the legs.

End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Renal failure refers to temporary or permanent damage to the kidneys that results in loss of normal kidney function. There are two different types of renal failure--acute and chronic. Acute renal failure has an abrupt onset and is potentially reversible. Chronic renal failure progresses slowly over at least three months and can lead to permanent renal failure. The causes, symptoms, treatments, and outcomes of acute and chronic are different. Conditions that may lead to acute or chronic renal failure may include, but are not limited to, the following: Acute renal failure. Chronic renal failure. Myocardial infarction. A heart attack may occasionally lead to temporary kidney failure.

Chronic Renal Failure Diagnosis Diagnosis of CRF. Chronic renal failure (CRF) is diagnosed by the observation of a combination of symptoms and elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) levels. The following abnormalities found in the blood may signal CRF: 1  Anemia (low red blood cell count).

Renal insufficiency Description. Renal insufficiency is poor function of the kidneys that may be due to a reduction in blood-flow to the kidneys caused by renal artery disease. Normally, the kidneys regulate body fluid and blood pressure, as well as regulate blood chemistry and remove organic waste. Proper kidney function may be disrupted, however, when the arteries that provide the kidneys with blood become narrowed, a condition called renal artery stenosis. Some patients with renal insufficiency experience no symptoms or only mild symptoms.

- Renal failure, also known as kidney failure or renal insufficiency, is a medical condition in which the kidneys fail to adequately filter waste products from the blood.n kidney failure, there may be problems with increased fluid in the body (leading to swelling), increased acid levels, raised levels of potassium, decreased levels of calcium, increased levels of phosphate, and in later stages anemia.

Renal agenesis Bilateral renal agenesis is a condition in which both kidneys of a fetus fail to develop during gestation. It is one causative agent of Potter sequence. This absence of kidneys causes oligohydramnios, a deficiency of amniotic fluid in a pregnant woman, which can place extra pressure on the developing baby and cause further malformations.

End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by protein in the urine, low protein in the blood, high cholesterol levels, and tissue swelling. Glomerulonephritis. A type of kidney disease that involves glomeruli. During glomerulonephritis, the glomeruli become inflamed and impair the kidney's ability to filter urine. Glomerulonephritis may lead to chronic renal failure in some individuals. Polycystic kidney disease. A genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts filled with fluid in the kidneys. Any condition that may impair the flow of oxygen and blood to the kidneys such as cardiac arrest.

- Postrenal failure is a consequence of the mechanical or functional obstruction of the flow of urine. This form of oliguria and renal insufficiency usually responds to the release of the obstruction. The etiology of oliguria varies with age, and the common causes in neonates and children are listed separately.

Fanconi's syndrome Fanconi's syndrome is a set of kidney malfunctions brought about by a variety of seemingly unrelated disorders. Kidney malfunction leads to excessive urine production and excessive thirst, resulting in deficits of water, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and other substances in the body.anconi's syndrome caused secondarily by the genetic diseases galactosemia, glycogen storage disease, hereditary fructose intolerance, and tyrosinemia is prevented by appropriate dietary restrictions to treat the genetic disease, starting in infancy.

Types of Kidney failure ARF may lead to permanent loss of kidney function. But if the kidneys are not seriously damaged, they may recover. Chronic renal failure (CRF) is the gradual reduction of kidney function that may lead to permanent kidney failure, or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). You may go several years without knowing you have CRF. (Source: excerpt from Your Urinary System and How It Works: NIDDK).
