stages of death kidney

There are 5 levels of Chronic Kidney Disease that doctors use to determine how advanced your kidney disease is. Level 1 and 2 are mild, 3 is medium, 4 is advanced, and 5 is end stage renal disease (needing a transplant).

ve read described the quick downward spiral of dogs that have been diagnosed with kidney failure. Are we just lucky that it was caught in the early stages of the disease? I know that the outcome will be the same whether it takes days, months or more, but is this typical for an early diagnosis? I don't know what stage of failure she's in, but when the time comes, I'm hoping I have the courage to allow her to leave us with dignity.

Cr exceeds 20, this is predictive of prerenal injury (kidney disease caused by change in the blood supply to the kidney). Kidney disease or blockage of the flow of urine from your kidney causes both BUN and creatinine levels to rise. The stages of CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) are mainly based on measured or estimated GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate). There are five stages but kidney function is normal in Stage 1, and minimally reduced in Stage 2.

Sent by SweetBeauty808 Jan 31, 2014 Hi Jay, I've been reading your tips and comments on this topic and it breaks my heart with all the stories, and at the same time given me some good advice. Yet I am puzzled with the situation I'm in and the direction I will be heading with my dog. My just turned 3 yr old lab was tested Lyme positive back on dec. 26. No full panel blood was taken at the time though the vet said she was going to do that. My dog was given doxycycline and pain meds.

t say it is much much easier this time around but I have a complete understanding of the Stages of Grief which were studied and written about by Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross in her book, "Death and Dying", which is a classic in the field of psychology. One of the Stages of Grief is Anger. And anger that can be this deep turned inwards can lead to depression. I have experienced this firsthand and had to work through it.

If Fluids bring the blood numbers down (even moderately), then management can begin. Much depends on the stage of kidney failure. Has your vet done a blood pressure check? Has he included an SDMA test in the blood tests? Has he checked for protein in the urine and for any urinary infections? Ask your vet for copies of all blood test results, so you can post them here. Depending on the values, the type of food given will differ.

Hello Ursamere. As you probably know, we're not physicians here, but are happy to share our experiences with you so you can explore the ideas further with your diabetes team. I'm also a long-time DMer - about 35 years. 5.6 is an excellent a1c and as one who's not (yet) achieved an a1c under 6, I admire the work & discipline it takes to achieve that.

Seizure activity and signs of neurological problems are common in dogs that are in the end stages of kidney failure due to the buildup of toxins in the body, so it's entirely possible that what you observed was the result of the kidney failure.

Google k9 kidney diet. They are comprised of an group of tremendous knowledgeable people that have been through this and have lots of help to offer to prolong your dogs life. Their application for membership is a little involved but its worth it.

I have read many articles on the internet that will state that to die of Kidney Failure is a painless death. Some of these articles have gone so far as to call it a gentle death. I am not so sure that I would totally agree with these statements. In my opinion, when a dog is in stage 4 (the final stage) of this disease, the toxins in it's body are making it very sick.

I'm living it right now and to be honest, I am aware of 5 to 7 steps or stages of the grief process, but they don't matter, because you survive one day at a time ....baby steps, and not time frame, since everyone heals at their own pace. It's been 2 years for me and I do feel better, but I am not yet completely healed...it takes a long time.

My mother died in middle of a big smile of either heart disease, stroke, kidney failure. My father died of what was told to us of lung cancer, but he had brain cancer, a heart attack, liver cancer, caused by prostate cancer. I'd simply center on keeping the family in comfort unless you think a crime was committed.

Stage 1 is considered a small amount of fibrosis. Stages 2 and 3 is considered a greater amount of fibrosis or scarring meaning the disease has progressed. The more fibrosis the harder it is on the liver to carry out it's functions. As the damage progresses further, many scars can form together, which can lead to stage 4, or cirrhosis.

In early stages, part of the kidney along with cancer is removed and the rest of the kidney functions normally. In later stages, whole kidney may need to be removed. Generally chemotherapy with traditional anti-cancer drugs and radiotherapy is not recommended for kidney cancer. Certain hormones and newer drugs are being tried these days. The survival depends on the stage of the cancer. Localized kidney cancer has much better survival rates than cancer which has spread.

So sad to hear of her death, she had Hepatitis C. If anyone ever questions whether or not to treat, here is an example why you should. She was only 65, had many complications from HepC, official cause in news was congestive heart failure.

I specialize in people with disabilities and getting them back exercising. In the case of lupus a lot of times its usually related to the medications they take and an altered metabolism. Though even with an altered metabolism not eating enough is just as harmful at times as eating slightly too much. Its also hardto get someone moving around who hurts and Iis out of breath everytime they move . Thank you for your response.

1.9? Then you are in 3rd stage kidney disease. There are 5 stages.
