kidney failure class 12| Kidney failure: causes, symptoms, types and treatment| MDCAT Biology

Aslam O Alekum dear students, welcome to my YouTube Channel ‪@Ziatutorials‬. In this video you will learn the kidney failure its causes, types, symptoms and treatment of class 12 MDCAT biology.
Here's a comprehensive overview of kidney failure:

Causes:

1. Diabetes
2. High blood pressure
3. Glomerulonephritis (inflammation of kidney filters)
4. Polycystic kidney disease (genetic disorder)
5. Kidney damage due to medications or toxins
6. Blockages in the urinary tract
7. Recurrent kidney infections
8. Age-related decline in kidney function

Types:

1. Acute kidney failure (sudden loss of function)
2. Chronic kidney failure (gradual loss of function over time)
3. End-stage renal disease (ESRD, complete loss of function)

Symptoms:

1. Fatigue
2. Swelling (edema)
3. Nausea and vomiting
4. Blood in urine
5. Decreased urine output
6. Abnormal electrolyte levels
7. Fluid retention
8. Shortness of breath

Treatment:

1. Dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis)
2. Kidney transplantation
3. Medications to manage symptoms and slow disease progression
4. Lifestyle changes:
Healthy diet
Regular exercise
Stress management
Quit smoking
Limit alcohol intake
5. Addressing underlying causes (e.g., managing diabetes and hypertension)

Dialysis:

1. Hemodialysis: Blood is filtered outside the body using a machine
2. Peritoneal dialysis: Fluid is infused into the abdominal cavity to filter waste

Kidney Transplantation:

1. Surgical replacement of a damaged kidney with a healthy donor kidney

Lifestyle Changes:

1. Healthy diet: Limit protein, salt, and phosphorus intake
2. Regular exercise: Aim for 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily
3. Stress management: Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation or yoga
4. Quit smoking: Smoking can worsen kidney disease
5. Limit alcohol intake: Excessive alcohol consumption can damage kidneys
