CASE STUDY ON CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE.pptxdrsriram2001
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive condition characterized by the gradual loss of kidney function over time. Here's a comprehensive explanation of CKD in four steps:
Causes and Risk Factors: CKD can result from various underlying conditions or risk factors that damage the kidneys' filtering units (nephrons) and impair their function. Common causes and risk factors include:
Diabetes: High blood sugar levels over time can damage the blood vessels in the kidneys.
Hypertension (high blood pressure): Elevated blood pressure can strain the kidneys' blood vessels and impair kidney function.
Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of the kidney's filtering units can lead to scarring and loss of function.
Polycystic kidney disease: Inherited disorder characterized by the growth of cysts in the kidneys, leading to kidney enlargement and loss of function.
Prolonged obstruction of the urinary tract: Conditions such as kidney stones or an enlarged prostate can obstruct urine flow, leading to kidney damage.
Autoimmune diseases: Conditions like lupus or vasculitis can cause inflammation and damage to the kidneys.
Certain medications: Long-term use of certain medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or some antibiotics, can contribute to kidney damage.
Stages and Progression: CKD is typically classified into five stages based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which measures how well the kidneys are filtering waste from the blood. The stages are as follows:
Stage 1: Kidney damage with normal or high eGFR (≥90 mL/min/1.73 m²)
Stage 2: Mild decrease in eGFR (60-89 mL/min/1.73 m²)
Stage 3: Moderate decrease in eGFR (30-59 mL/min/1.73 m²)
Stage 4: Severe decrease in eGFR (15-29 mL/min/1.73 m²)
Stage 5: Kidney failure (eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m² or dialysis)
CKD progresses slowly over time, and symptoms may not be apparent until the later stages when significant kidney damage has occurred.
Symptoms and Complications: In the early stages, CKD may be asymptomatic, and symptoms may only become evident as kidney function declines. Common symptoms and complications of CKD include:
Fatigue and weakness
Swelling of the legs, ankles, or feet (edema)
Shortness of breath
Nausea and vomiting
Itching
Loss of appetite
Muscle cramps
Difficulty concentrating
Electrolyte imbalances (e.g., high potassium levels)
Bone disease (e.g., osteoporosis)
Anemia
Complications of advanced CKD include cardiovascular disease, fluid overload, electrolyte imbalances, and kidney failure requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation.
Management and Treatment: The management of CKD aims to slow the progression of the disease, manage symptoms, and prevent complications. Treatment may involve:
Lifestyle modifications: Maintaining a healthy diet low in salt, potassium, and phosphorus, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and quitting smoking.
Blood pressure control: Medications such as ACE inhibitors
Septicemia is a life threatening complication this is also called as the blood infection. this is an infection that occurs when bacteria enters the blood stream and spread elsewhere in the body such as lungs and skin.
These bacteria affects the bodily function of the blood as it is responsible for carrying of oxygen, nutrients to your cells and it also carry's waste and carbon dioxide.
More than 90,000 people die every year in India due to sepsis.

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

distension or ileus.
25
27. INTERVENTION/POINTS TO BE
COMMUNICATED WITH DOCTOR
SERIOUS → USE ALTERNATIVE
Azithromycin + Ondansetron: Both increase QT interval on prolonged use. Avoid or
use alternative drug.
27
29. About Disease:
It is a curable disease.
Two main typhoid fever prevention strategies:
1. Vaccination
✓ Be vaccinated against typhoid while traveling to a country where typhoid is
common.
✓ Need to complete your vaccination at least one week before travel.
✓ Typhoid vaccines lose their effectiveness after several years so check with your
doctor to see if it is time for a booster vaccination.
29
30. 2. Avoid risky food and drinks
✓ Buy bottled drinking water or bring it to a rolling boil for one minute before drinking it.
✓ Ask for drinks without ice, unless the ice is made from bottled or boiled water. Avoid
Popsicles and flavored ices.
✓ Eat food that have been thoroughly cooked and that are still hot and steaming.
✓ Avoid raw vegetables and food that cannot be peeled like lettuce.
✓ When eat raw fruit and vegetables that can be peeled, peel yourself. Don’t eat the
peelings.
✓ Avoid foods and beverages from street vendors.
30
31. About Medications:
Dose of drugs
Frequency of dose
Route of administrations such as I.V, I.M., t/d, s/c, P.O., S/L.
Counselling regarding overdose (may cause toxicity), underdose
(submaximal or no response) and missing of dose of medication. E.G. If a
dose is missed, then the patient is to be advised to go for the next dose,
otherwise toxicity of drug may occur.
Contraindications
Drug interactions (drug-drug, drug-food)
31
32. Life Style Modifications:
SANITORY MEASURES:
Sanitary disposal of human faeces and maintain fly-proof latrines.
Provision of safe chlorinated water and avoid possible back-flow connections between water and
sewer systems.
Educate the community regarding the importance of hand washing especially after defecating.
Control of flies by screening, spraying with insecticides, and use of insecticidal baits and traps.
Control fly breeding by frequent collection and disposal of garbage, and fly-control measures in
latrine construction and maintenance.
Use scrupulous cleanliness in food preparation and handling; refrigerate as appropriate. Particular
attention should be directed to the proper storage of salads and other foods served cold. These
provisions apply equally to home and public eating places.
If uncertain about sanitary practices, select foods that are cooked and served hot, and fruits peeled
by the consumer.
Pasteurize or boil all milk and dairy products. Supervise the sanitary aspects of commercial milk
production, storage and delivery.
Enforce suitable quality-control procedures in industries that prepare food and drink for human
consumption.
32
33. FOOD SAFETY:
Contaminated food is another important vehicle for typhoid fever transmission.
Appropriate food handling and processing is paramount and the following basic hygiene measures must be
implemented or reinforced during epidemics:
Washing hands with soap before preparing or eating food;
Avoiding raw food, shellfish, ice; eating only cooked and still hot food or re-heating it.
NATURAL REMEDIES:
Complete bed rest is essential.
Patient should be kept on a liquid diet of orange, barley juice and milk.
Orange juice especially hastens recovery as it increases energy, promotes body resistance and increases
urinary output.
Administer warm water enema regularly.
Apply cold compress to head if temperature rises above 1030F
Wrap the body and legs twice with a sheet wrung in cold water and then cover it with a warm material.
The pack should be kept for an hour and renewed after every 3 hours.
Hot water bottles may be applied to the sides of the body and feet.
Fresh fruits and easily digestible foods can be given after temperature comes down to normal.
Plain water or unsweetened lemon water can be used for drinking.
Gradually start a well-balanced diet.
