Nephrotic Syndrome (Kidneys Leaking)

Speaking of kidney disorders, people are more familiar with the terms of kidney stones and kidney failure. Kidney term Leaks (Nephrotic Syndrome) is still foreign to the ear. Of course, these conditions have to be careful. In the world of medicine, Leakage Kidneys (Nephrotic Syndrome) is a collection of symptoms that means work involving the kidney organs.

The term does not mean there is kidney leaking hole in the kidneys that causes leakage, but to describe the leak or release of protein (albumin) from the body through the urine (urine). Under normal circumstances, the kidneys work as a filter, so the protein can not be out of the body. If the body lots of protein release, automatic levels of any protein in the body decreases.

The nature of albumin is not held to the fluid out of blood vessels. When the body lacks albumin, easy fluid leak from blood vessels and cause the body to swell. If it is so, the body will make adjustments due to lack of albumin. One was by breaking the fat from the entire body, making cholesterol levels rise. So, the main symptoms of nephrotic syndrome or renal leak there were four, namely the release of protein through urine, lack of albumin, body swelling and increased cholesterol levels.

Swelling of body experiences

The exit of this protein in the urine due to the nature of the membrane (lining) that works as a filter has been changed. Remember, nature does not weaken, the only change for some reason. The cause of the changing nature of the filter layer into two major categories, namely :

First, because there is something in the kidney. This condition is called primary renal disease. This is usually caused by infection.
Second, because of non-renal diseases, but involving the kidney. For example, diseases associated with immune system like diabetes, malaria and can even be as well.

What should be emphasized, Nephrotic Syndrome with renal failure is different. Renal failure associated with renal function, whereas nephrotic syndrome associated with renal filter. It could be someone having nephrotic syndrome, but his kidney function was still normal. However, kidney failure can affect the handling of the nephrotic syndrome.

To determine whether a person is experiencing kidney leak can be detected through tests labotarium. This is necessary to make the diagnosis. One symptom is the swelling of the kidney is leaking body. Even so, body swelling caused by the kidney is not necessarily a leak. Diagnosis is most easily done through the initial urine test. If there are high levels of protein in the urine, should be continued handling.

Nephrotic syndrome caused by diabetes in mind when it enters a new stage. So, if sugar disease can be treated, the possibility of permanent kidney damage is huge. This is also affecting the recovery of patients. Cases can occur in patients with similar symptoms but different causes. These different causes that make why patients can be cured of A, while patient B is only partially cured, or even no recovery at all.

Besides the four main symptoms such as leakage of protein through the urine, lack of protein in the body, body swelling, and increased cholesterol levels, there are several symptoms that can accompany the nephrotic syndrome. This is because the causes are varied and can spread to other body parts.

These symptoms include :

• reduced appetite.
• shrinking muscle mass.
• Water piss (urine) foaming.
• Shortness of breath due to accumulation of fluid in the cavity around the lungs.
• Knee and pocket balls (in men) to swell.
• The child can decrease blood pressure when you're standing. The patient's blood pressure can be high or low rate.
• The volume of urine is reduced.
• Lack of nutrients due to loss of nutrients, so that growth can be stunted.
• There was inflammation in the lining of the stomach. This is because of the infection in the abdominal area. The infection is suspected due to reduced formation of antibodies or antibodies that out with a loss of urine.
• There was the formation of blood disorders that can increase the risk of clots in blood vessels.

Acne

Definition of Acne Vulgaris or Acne is a skin condition caused by abnormal production disruptions from the oil glands (sebaceous gland) are excessive.
Excess production of these oil glands or sebaceous gland will cause a blockage in the channels at the hair follicles and skin pores. Acne often causes inflammation of the skin (the skin becomes swollen and rosy pink). This inflammation of the skin caused by excessive production of skin oil glands or sebaceous glands which then clog the channel and form comedones (whiteheads) and seborhoea.

If the blockage is caused by the oil glands of skin is getting bigger it will open comedones (blackheads) and then often times interact or exposed acne bacteria.

The emergence of the psychological effects for a person with acne is the fact that with facial acne to be no longer smooth and beautiful. Even sometimes going leave acne scars can not be lost for life. The most influential effects of acne scars or acne are psychological effects as someone who had not experienced acne when he first became troubled and depressed. Confidence also be reduced by it.

Uric Acid

The definition of uric acid is a purine metabolism substances originating from the food we eat. This is also a byproduct from the breakdown of cells in the blood.

Purines itself is a substance contained in any food that comes from living bodies. In other words, there are living things in the body of this purine substances, and because we eat living things, hence the move to the purine substances in our body. Various vegetables and fruits are also purine. Purine also resulted from the destruction of body cells which occur normally or because of certain diseases.

Normally, uric acid will be released in the body through the stool (feces) and urine, but because the kidneys are unable to remove uric acid that is causing increased levels in the body. Another thing that can increase uric acid levels is that we consume too much food that contains many purine. Excess uric acid will then be collected at the joints, causing pain or swelling.

Patients with gout after undergoing appropriate treatment can be treated so that the levels of uric acid in the body back to normal. But because there is a potential buildup in the body of uric acid, it is recommended that control the food consumed in order to avoid food that contains a lot of purines.

Symptoms of Uric Acid :

* pins and rheumatic pain
* Pain, especially at night or early morning when I wake up
* Joints gout affected by visible swelling, redness, heat and tremendous pain on the night and morning.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease with increased blood glucose above normal. Where blood glucose levels regulated by the hormone insulin produced by the pancreas. An increasing number of diabetics lately very quickly, and many of them do not realize how serious the disease. This is because some patients do not feel the occurrence of the symptoms of diabetes.

Toxoplasma

Talking about pregnancy, can not be separated also about infertility. There are newly married couples already contains some also have many years but has not been granted momongan. Finally, many thought the cause of sterility. Some say that cat fur can cause sterility, and so forth. Actually, that can cause barrenness of the parasite known as Toxoplasma gondii. This parasite can cause the disease toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasma is a disease that affects animals and humans, male or female.

In animals, this toxoplasma disease could attack blooded animals heat, such as: dogs, cats, chickens, birds, horse, cattle, sheep, mice, sheep, tigers, pigs, and others. But the cat is considered as the cause of toxoplasma, because in the cat's body, Toxoplasma can reproduce in two ways, namely sexual (gamete micro and macro) and asexual (divide). Whereas in animals other than cats, toxoplasma can reproduce only by asexual means.

In humans the disease toxoplasmosis, most do not experience clinical symptoms of the dominant. Symptoms can occur in acute infection, namely in the form of enlarged lymph nodes around the neck or armpit.

But in the long run, that toxoplasma can cause infertility. In men, infertility caused by Toxoplasma can infect the sperm canal and cause inflammation. So that the sperm duct inflammation causes narrowing or closure of the channel and on the man's sperm can not be issued a sperm to fertilize an egg.

Whereas in women, the effect is almost the same as men. Toxoplasma infection that can mengebabkan inflammation and narrowing of the oviduct. So that the ovary will not be able to get to the uterus and can not be fertilized by sperm.

Clinical symptoms :

People who suffer from acute Toxoplasmosis in general do not feel the pain that caught his attention so as not detected. Clinical symptoms that appear similar to the clinical symptoms of infectious diseases in general, namely :
• Fever
• Enlarged lymph glands dileher the back without pain
• Headaches
• Pain in muscles
• weary / limp

These symptoms usually recover spontaneously (Frenkle 1990). Strickland (1991) reported 89% patients with acute toxoplasma clinical symptoms include fever, headache and 84% enlargement of lymph glands, muscle pain in 60%, 54%, neck stiffness and no appetite, 20%, with patches of red skin, 24 % ill disendi and 11% with inflammation of the liver.

Toxoplasmosis acute and reinfection in a pregnant woman can cause the transmission to passive baby who was conceived. The magnitude of transmission rates in infants depends on gestational age. Figures for 1% transmission occurs when a pregnant woman suffering from toxoplasmosis before fertilization occurs, 12% when gestational age 6-16 weeks and 20% when gestational age 16-28 weeks until birth.

A baby who was conceived by pregnant women in first trimester of pregnancy can become infected by 25%, while the third trimester of pregnancy diusia 65%. Infection in very early pregnancy can cause miscarriage and the baby died in the womb.

Infection in the first trimester of pregnancy can cause severe congenital abnormalities in infants, because at that moment the ongoing process of growth of organs. Congenital abnormalities that occur can be Hidrosepalus, Mikrosepalus, calcification of the brain, nervous disorders such as seizures, impaired reflexes, retandasi mental impairments that can cause blindness and inflammation of the liver (Frenkle - 1990, Kierzenbaum - 1994).

In chronic toxoplasmosis can occur Korioretinitis clinical symptoms of which can lead to visual impairments, headaches, Encephalitis, and even paralyzed some of the body (Soemarsono, 1990).
