2. What is Kidney Failure?
 Kidney (renal) failure is when kidneys don't
work as well as they should. The term "kidney
failure" covers a lot of problems. These
problems can result in kidney failure.

3. Causes of Renal Failure
 Your kidney doesn't get enough blood to filter
 Your kidney is hurt by a disease like
 high blood sugar (diabetes)
 high blood pressure
 glomerulonephritis (damage to the kidney's tiny
filters)
 polycystic kidney disease
 Your kidney is blocked by a kidney stone or scar
tissue

4. Symptoms
 swelling of the hands, feet and face (edema)
 internal bleeding
 confusion
 seizures
 coma
 abnormal blood and urine tests
 high blood pressure
 low red blood cell count (anemia)
 nausea
 vomiting

5. Diagnosis
 Kidney failure is most often found with a blood
test called a "creatinine level."
 Creatinine is a molecule made by your
muscles. A normal kidney will remove extra
creatinine from the blood stream and get rid of
it in urine. More creatinine in the blood is a
sign that the kidneys aren't cleaning the blood
as well as they should.

6. Treatment
 ECS
 Dialysis
 Kidney Transplant

7. Extracorporeal Shock Wave
Lithotripsy (ECS)
 Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ECS)
uses shock waves to break a kidney stone
into small pieces.
 The stone can more easily travel through
the urinary tract and pass from the body.

8. Dialysis
 Dialysis is a way to pump your blood through
a machine that filters out the waste and
returns the blood to your body.
 The 2 types of dialysis are:
 Hemodialysis
and
 Peritoneal dialysis.

9. Kidney Transplant
 A kidney transplant is when a surgeon puts a
healthier kidney from another person into your
body.
 Kidney transplant is the best way to treat
many patients with end stage kidney failure.
