Renal Amyloidosis is a result of the breach of protein and carbohydrate metabolism. Characterized by kidney failure Dystrophic and deposition in the kidney tissue of amyloid-protein chemical compounds. Breaks the kidney, right down to the chronic renal failure and to reduce their filtration ability.
Renal Amyloidosis is a consequence of the general body of Amyloidosis. Is a very rare disease. At risk are people (especially men) older than 40 years.
The reasons for Renal Amyloidosis often develops against the background of severe infectious iseases, such as tuberculosis, osteomyelitis, syphilis, malaria and so on. Non communicable disease causes of myloidosis are rheumatoid arthritis, chlamydia, mielomnaya disease, Actino-mycosis.
Degradation of endocrine system can also lead to renal Amyloidosis. Protein-carbohydrate metabolism is disturbed when an excess in the body, such as hormones, cortisone and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland.
Stage
Renal Amyloidosis develops in three stages:
In early stage. In latent form. Perhaps only a slight increase in the level of cholesterol in the blood and protein in urine.
Bubonic stage
As the name implies, is characterized by the presence of edema. Develop swelling may slowly and rapidly, dramatically (especially in the face of infection).
Period. At this stage, there are heavy damage kidneys: chronic renal failure, uremia. Marasmus is coming.
Symptoms
Suspected renal Amyloidosis can be the presence of protein in the urine, even a small amount (less than 1 µm), as well as the allocation of albumins, globulins and increased content of cells in the blood.
In the second stage the patient had edema, visible to the naked eye. The last stage is a strong weight loss, wasting (cachexia).
Pain syndrome in renal amiloidoze is missing or is a consequence of other accompanying diseases.
Treatment
Treatment of complex renal amyloidosis, particularly therapeutic. Of the medicines prescribed antihistamines (diphenhydramine), Also appointed an infusion of glucose. In some cases, showed hepatology. Treatment and dosage are calculated individually, all drugs should be under strict medical supervision, self-medication is not valid.
Diet for kidney amiloidoze must contain a lot of vitamins. However, consumption of foods high in protein should be limiting. The swelling is less desirable to use table salt.
As an additional measure, well recommended itself sanatorium-and-spa treatment.
