Topic Diet and Renal Disease Understanding(s): Students will understand that Our kidneys are important organs responsible for excreting wastes, maintaining blood volume and composition and secretes certain hormones. Renal disorders may develop such as acute or chronic renal failure, nephritis, nephrosclerosis, polycystic kidney disease and renal calculi or kidney stones. Dietary treatment of renal disease is important in alleviating problems caused by those disorders. Renal patients need to change their protein needs and restrict sodium, water and potassium. Essential Question(s): Why are our kidneys important? What are some causes of kidney disease? What changes need to be made for a person with renal disease? Students will know The function of our kidneys and the causes of renal disease. Students will be able to Adapt menus for potassium, sodium and water restricted diets. Performance Task(s): Research the different types and causes of kidney stones. Find recipes for patients with renal disease. Other Evidence: Quiz Homework Unit Exam Learning Activities: Plan a diet for a person that is on kidney dialysis.

Learn specifics about the disease and about caring for an afflicted dog. symptoms of JRD (juvenile renal disease) have long included a low protein prescription diet. It seems clear, however, http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/Opera/2167

Kidney Disease in Dogs George 20 April 1988- 27 January 1990 Juvenile renal disease and other familial and congenital renal diseases are seen in more than thirty breeds of dogs. Twenty two of these breeds have a renal dysplasia which is similar to that seen in Standard Poodles. I have put an (RD) for renal dysplasia after their breed names. Even in breeds with the same type of JRD, such as renal dysplasia, the modes of inheritance can be different. Ages at onset of symptoms can vary from a few weeks (Cairn terriers) to 5 - 11 years (German Shepherds, Welsh Corgis, Beagles). Modes of inheritance can vary from X linked dominant (Samoyed) to autosomal recessive (Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Shih-Tzu), autosomal dominant (Bull Terrier), to unknown familial (most of the others). The following breeds are some of those in which familial and other renal diseases are seen: Airedale Terriers (RD) Alaskan Malamutes (RD) Basenjis (Fanconi-like syndrome) Bedlington Terriers (RD) Boxers (RD) Bulldogs (RD) Bull Terriers (glomerulopathy) Cairn Terriers (polycystic kidneys) Chinese Shar-Pei (amyloidosis) Chow Chows (RD) Cocker Spaniels (glomerulopathy) Collies (glomerulopathy) Doberman Pinschers (unilateral agenesis and glomerulopathy) Golden Retrievers (RD) Great Danes (RD) Great Pyrenees (RD) Irish Wolfhounds (RD) Keeshonds (RD) King Charles Spaniels (RD) Lhasa Apso (RD) Miniature Poodles (polycystic kidneys) Miniature Schnauzers (RD and Fanconi-like syndrome) Newfoundlands (glomerulopathy) Norwegian Elkhounds (tubulointerstitial nephropathy and Fanconi-like syndrome

Recommendations Alternative names End Stage Renal disease - diet; Hemodialysis - diet; Peritoneal Dialysis - diet Definition Return to top This article describes the diet necessary in patients with end-stage renal disease on either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. The diet is usually high in protein and low-sodium, low-potassium, and low-phosphorus. Fluid intake is also restricted. Function Return to top The purpose of this diet is to try and maintain a balance of electrolytes, minerals, and fluid in patients on dialysis. The special diet is important because dialysis alone does not effectively eliminate ALL waste products. These waste products can also accumulate between dialysis treatments. Most dialysis patients urinate very little or not at all, and therefore fluid restriction between treatments is very important. Without urination, fluid will accumulate and result in volume overload with excess fluid in the heart, lungs and ankles. Patients on dialysis need a high protein intake to maintain adequate nutrition. Patients can become malnourished on dialysis and poor nutrition can often predict poor outcomes.

Canine Kidney Disease Canine Kidney Disease The kidney (fig. normal kidney ultrasound kidney Let us picture the kidneys filtering mechanism. There are tens of thousands of microscopic funnel shaped tubes called nephrons. These tiny structures are responsible for filtering and reabsorbing the fluids that balance the body. These nephrons are susceptible to damage due to many causes such as poisons, aging, infection, trauma, cancer, auto-immune diseases, and genetic predisposition. If any of these occur the entire nephron stops functioning. Fortunately, due to both the reserve capacity of the kidney and the ability of the nephrons to grow larger, the kidney can still function. If damage to nephrons occurs gradually and the surviving nephrons have enough time to hypertrophy, a kidney can continue to function with as few as 25 percent of its original nephrons. When the number of functioning nephrons drops below 25 percent or when damage occurs too suddenly for the remaining nephrons to compensate, kidney failure occurs. There are two types of kidney failure. Acute kidney failure is a sudden loss of function that is sometimes but not always reversible. Chronic kidney failure is an irreversible loss of function that occurs gradually over months or years. Initial test results can be remarkably similar for both forms of kidney failure. The diagnostic challenge is to determine whether the dog has acute or chronic kidney failure. Making the distinction between chronic and acute failure is crucial because the prognosis and duration of treatment for the two types of kidney disease are different (although some treatment procedures may be similar). At our practices, we recommend yearly base line lab testing starting at age 3. This protocol allows us to help determine if we are dealing with acute or chronic disease.

Juvenile Renal Disease in Standard Poodles revised and updated June 1997 Introduction Symptoms Diagnosis Management References Introduction In January of 1990, I had my twenty one month old Standard Poodle put down. She was one of three puppies in a litter of eleven to die of juvenile renal disease (JRD). All three of the puppies with the disease appeared healthy and grew normally until clinical signs appeared at ten months in one, and twenty months in the other two. The disease is devastating. Nobody expects to lose a puppy of that age. After her death, I began searching the literature to discover what was known about JRD in Standard Poodles, including what, if any, research was being done in order to establish the mode of inheritance of this disease in this breed. After finding only one paper in the veterinary literature on juvenile renal disease in Standard Poodles (1), and discovering that no one was currently working on this problem, I began a collaboration with George Padgett, DVM, geneticist and Professor of Pathology at Michigan State University. Our objective is to establish the mode of inheritance of JRD in Standard Poodles, and an eventual open registry at the Institute for Genetic Disease Control in Animals (GDC), in Davis, California. Using an open registry, breeders who wish to can reduce the incidence of this disease, if not breed it out entirely. The information I have gathered since then leads me to believe that most individual cases of JRD are treated by owners and veterinarians as isolated occurrences rather than as the manifestation of a genetic disease. If the breeder is informed about a medical problem in a puppy she has sold, and often she is not, or, if just the owner of the dam is informed, and it is only one puppy in a litter about whom she is informed, it is again treated as an isolated incident. Unless there are multiples in a litter it goes largely unrecognized, and no recognition is made nor thought given to those littermates who are carriers.

Third Annual Soyfoods Symposium Proceedings Soyfoods in Chronic Renal Disease by Dr. Paolo Fanti , MD, University of Kentucky Soy is gaining popularity as a food item for human consumption in the U.S., in part because of a shift in interest of the American public toward plant food and in part because of the hypothesized health effects of soybeans. Reportedly, there are 26 million soyfoods consumers in this country. Our understanding of the potential impact of the introduction of soyfoods in the diet of patients with renal disease is in its infancy. However, integrated analysis of the current knowledge about the nutritional properties of soy, the metabolic derangement and dietary requirements of patients with kidney disease, and the handful of studies that have specifically addressed the issue of soyfoods utilization in renal disease, allow one to speculate in optimistic terms about the potential beneficial effects of soyfoods in renal patients.
