INTRODUCTION
What contributes to the failure of kidneys to malfunction? That is the question that we hope to find an answer to, through this case study. Patient X initially admitted to Veterans Memorial Medical Center, Emergency Ward, was forwarded to Nephrology Ward 4 with a chief complaint of persistent flank pain, right knee pain andwith an initial Vital Signs of , BP 160/100, PR 74, RR, 20, and afebrile. Several tests was ordered for Patient X and had an initial diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) Type 2. Patient X has history of Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus, with a usual diet of ____________. and dependence on medications____________. We picked this case because we see the worth of getting into the details of this disease. Being affiliated to Nephrology Ward is an opportunity for us, not only to enrich our knowledge on the subject, but more importantly, a hand on involvement with this type of case is a privilege. In this case study, we will include in our topics the following: An overview on CKD and DM Pathophysiology of CKD and DM Anatomy and Physiology of the Renal System Patient History Laboratory Test and Diagnostic Test Medical Management Nursing Management • • • • • • •
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), being the umbrella of all Renal Disorder, also commonly referred to as Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) or End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is a gradual, progressive irreversible loss of kidney functions that require renal replacement therapy on a permanent basis. The primary causes of CKD are noted as follows: a. May follow an Acute Kidney Disease b. Diabetes Mellitus and other Metabolic disorders c. Hypertension d. Chronic urinary obstructions e. Recurrent Infection f. Renal Artery occlusions g. Autoimmune disorders
CKD is a disease that has a systemic effect and as a result, the patients exhibits numerous signs and symptoms to include but not limited to; Cardiovascular disease and Peripheral Neuropathy.

OBJECTIVES GENERAL OBJECTIVES
It is the aim of this case study that we, the students who prepared this will gain acquire additional knowledge, experience, and professional approach in caring a patient having a chronic kidney disease secondary to diabetes mellitus (type II), SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
Define the pathophysiology of CKD Secondary to Diabetes Mellitus (Type II). Trace the pathophysiology of CKD Secondary to Diabetes Mellitus (Type II) Enumerate the different signs and symptoms of CKD secondary to DM II. To identify the risk factors contributing to the occurring of CKD secondary to DM II. To learn clinical skills as well as update our current clinical skills required in the management of the patient with CKD secondary to DM II. To help the patient and family raise the level of awareness of having CKD secondary to DM II. To formulate and apply nursing care plan utilizing the nursing process. To develop our sense of unselfish love, empathy in rendering nursing care to our patients so that we may be able to see the future client with higher level of holistic understanding.
