Introduction
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), also known as chronic renal disease, is a progressive loss of renal of renal function over a period of months or years. The symptoms of worsening kidney function are unspecific, and might include feeling generally unwell and experiencing a reduced appetite. appetite. Often, chronic kidney disease is diagnosed as a result of screening of screening of people known to be at risk of kidney problems, such as those with high blood pressure or diabetes and those with a blood relative with chronic kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease may also be identified when it leads to one of its recognized complications, such as cardiovascular disease, disease, anemia or pericarditis. pericarditis. Chronic kidney disease is identified by a blood test for creatinine. creatinine. Higher levels of creatinine indicate a falling glomerular filtration rate (rate at which the kidneys filter blood) and as a result a decreased capability of the kidneys to excrete waste products. Creatinine levels may be normal in the early stages of CKD, and the condition is discovered if urinalysis if urinalysis (testing of a urine sample) shows that the kidney is allowing the loss of protein of protein or red blood cells into the urine. To To fully investigate the underlying cause of kidney damage, various forms of medical of medical imaging, imaging, blood tests and often renal biopsy (removing a small sample of kidney tissue) are employed to find out if there is a reversible cause for the kidney malfunction.[1] Recent professional guidelines classify the severity of chronic kidney disease in five stages, with stage 1 being the mildest and usually causing few symptoms and stage 5 being a severe illness with poor life expectancy if untreated. Stage 5 CKD is also called established chronic kidney disease and is synonymous with the now outdated terms end-stage renal disease (ESRD), chronic kidney failure (CKF) or chronic renal failure (CRF). There is no specific treatment unequivocally shown to slow the worsening of chronic kidney disease. If there is an underlying cause to CKD, such as vasculitis, vasculitis, this may be treated directly with treatments aimed to slow the damage. In more advanced stages, treatments may be required for anemia and bone disease. disease. Severe CKD requires one of the forms of renal of renal replacement therapy; therapy; this
may be a form of dialysis of dialysis,, but ideally constitutes a kidney transplant. transplant.

Anatomy and Physiology
The kidneys are the primary organs of the urinary system in vertebrates. The kidneys filter the blood blood,, remove the wastes, and excrete the wastes in the urine urine.. About 1,300 milliliters of blood flow through the kidneys each minute (about 400 gallons a day). From this blood the Malphigian corpuscles corp uscles (see below) extract about 170 liters of filtrate a day. day. As this fluid passes down the uriniferous tubules it is almost all reabsorbed. Only about 1.5 liters are left in the tubules to carry away the waste products. The whole blood supply passes through the kidneys every 5 minutes, ensuring that waste materials don't build up. The renal artery carries blood to the kidney, while the renal vein carries blood, now with much lower concentrations of urea of urea and mineral
ions, away from the kidney. kidney. The urine formed passes down the ureter to the bladder bladder.. The work of the kidneys is much more than just the removal of waste, however. Other functions of the kidneys include: Helping control the amount of water lost to the outside world – most important in land animals. Helping regulate the pH (i.e., level of acidity or alkalinity) of the blood and the general balance of ions in the blood, and hence in the body fluid as a whole. Conserving essential substances such as glucose and amino acids.. acids Parts and Function: This has a large diameter and a thin wall. It Renal Vein carries blood away from the kidney and back to the right hand side of the heart. Blood in the kidney has had all its urea removed. Urea is produced by your liver to get rid of excess amino-acids. Blood in the renal vein also has exactly the right amount of water and salts. This is because the kidney gets rid of excess water and salts. The kidney is controlled by the brain. A hormone in our blood called Anti-Diuretic Hormone (ADH for short) is used to control exactly how much water wa ter is excreted. Renal Artery - This blood vessel supplies blood to the kidney from the left hand side of the heart. This blood must contain glucose and oxygen because the kidney has to work hard producing urine. Blood in the renal artery must have sufficient pressure or the kidney will not be able to filter the blood. Blood supplied to the kidney contains a toxic product called urea which must be removed from the blood. It may have too much salt and too much water. The kidney removes these excess materials; that is its function. Pelvis - This is the region of the kidney where urine collects. the ureter carries the urine down to the bladder. Ureter The medulla is the inside part p art of the th e kidney. kidney. This is Medulla where the amount of salt and water in your urine is controlled. It consists of billions of loops of Henlé. These work very hard pumping sodium ions. ADH makes the loops work harder to pump •

more sodium ions. The result of this is that very concentrated urine is produced. The cortex is the outer part of the kidney. This is Cortex where blood is filtered. We call this process "ultra-filtration" or "high pressure filtration" because it only works if the blood entering the kidney in the renal artery is at high pressure. Billions of glomeruli are found in the cortex. A glomerulus is a tiny ball of capillaries. Each glomerulus is surrounded by a "Bowman's Capsule". Glomeruli leak. Things like red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and fibrinogen stay in the blood vessels. Most of the plasma leaks out into the Bowman's capsules. This is about 160 litres of liquid every 24 hours. Most of this liquid, which we call "ultra-filtrate" is reabsorbed in the medulla and put back into the blood. This is where ultraGlomerulus and Bowman's Capsule filtration takes place. Blood from the renal artery is forced into the glomerulus under high pressure. Most of the liquid is forced out of the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule which surrounds it. This does not work properly in people who have very low blood pressure. Proximal Convolu volutted Tubules - Don't worry about remembering the name for your y our GCSE biology. biology. Jolly good though if you can. Proximal means "near to" and convoluted means "coiled up" so this is the coiled up tube near to the Bowman's capsule. This is the place where all that useful glucose is reabsorbed from the ultra-filtrate and put back into the blood. If the glucose was not absorbed it would end up in your urine. This happens in people who are suffering from diabetes. This part of the nephron is where water Loop of Henlé is reabsorbed. Kidney cells in this region spend all their time pumping sodium ions. This makes the medulla very salty; you could say that this is a region of very low water concentration. If you remember the definition of osmosis, you will realise that water will pass from a region of high water concentration (the ultra-filtrate and urine) into a region of low water concentration (the medulla) through cell membranes which are semi-permeable.
Distal means "distant" so it is Dist Distal al Con Convo volu lute ted d Tub Tubul ules es at the other end of the nephron from the Bowman's capsule. This is where most of the salts in the ultra-filtrate are re-absorbed. Collecting ducts run through the medulla Collecting Duct and are surrounded by loops of Henlé. The liquid in the collecting ducts (ultra-filtrate) is turned into urine as water and salts are removed from it. Although our kidneys make about 160 litres of urine every 24 hours, we only produce about ½ litre of urine. It is called a collecting duct because it collects the liquid produced by lots of nephrons.
Pathophysiology
Secondary Hypertension ↓ Arteriosclerotic Arteriosclerotic lesions of the afferent afferent and efferent arterioles ↓ Falling glomerular filtration rate ↓ Decrease capability of the kidneys kid neys to excrete waste products
Due to hypertension, there are lesion to the afferent and efferent arterioles decreasing the effectiveness of the filtration of blood in the glomerular that leads to the decrease capability of the kidney to properly excrete waste products
