Diabetes Mellitis • inadequate secretion of insulin • without insulin, blood glucose levels are extremely high, and excess glucose remains in the nephron.
The high osmotic gradient prevents water re-absorption and increases urine production. • Sugar is found in the urine
Diabetes Insipidus • lack of ADH production • urine output increases up to 20L/day • no sugar in urine
Nephritis • inflammation of the nephrons • Protein in the urine is a common symptom • The osmotic gradient also causes an increase in urine production. • Nephritis can lead to irreversible kidney damage and eventual kidney failure.
Dialysis Hemodialysis • Artificial kidney machine connects to a vein and pumps blood through semipermeable tubes submerged in a solution to remove waste
Dialysis • Peritoneal dialysis-a catheter is inserted through abdominal lining. • Fluid is injected to collect waste and is drained
Kidney Stones • Crystallized oxalic acid and/or calcium and/or phosphate • Painful!
Kidney Stones Treatment: • Surgical removal • Drugs to dissolve • Lithotripsy-shock waves
