For Kids With Kidney Disease, What's causing chronic kidney disease in children?<\/a><\/h3>
When it comes to children's health, many of us, parents, nutritionists, pediatricians, have a predisposition towards obesity and heart-related diseases. Kidney function is also important for maintaining a healthy body and it is important for parents to monitor their children's kidney function. Thus, it is important to raise awareness towards kidney disease that children are prone to suffer from, which can affect millions of people around the world, including young children, who may be at risk for kidney disorders/diseases at an early age. \n\n When parents know that their child are at risk of having kidney disease, they may wonder what they can do to prevent it. However, in most cases, it is not yet known if child will develop kidney disease and usually nothing can be done to stop it. Focusing on what can be done now, such as getting the right treatment, following the doctor's advice, working with the child's health team and learning about the disease, are the best ways to help your child once the diagnosis is made. \n\n The kidneys are made up of millions of tiny filtering units called nephrons and are located just below the ribs on either side of the spine. Kidneys clean the blood, maintain a balance of salt and water, and help to regulate blood pressure and red blood cells. The extra fluid and waste that the kidneys remove from the blood are passed to the bladder and then out of the body as urine. \n\n There are many types of kidney disease that affect children. Some are temporary and treatable. Other forms of kidney disease are long-term and can affect a child's growth, development, and psychosocial/educational achievement. \n\n Various kidney diseases include: \n\n 1. Congenital abnormalities or birth defects, such as having a kidney that is not properly formed, one kidney, a kidney with reduced function, or a kidney that doesn't drain properly into the bladder \n\n 2. Polycystic kidney disease and Alport's syndrome, examples of hereditary kidney disease, which means it runs in the family such as Lupus, vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels), uncontrolled hypertension, and diabetes, which are considered as systemic kidney disease \n\n 3. Kidney filtering disorders and nephrotic syndrome, conditions that cause protein to leak into the urine \n\n Acute kidney disease can be caused by: \n\n \n Lack of blood flow to the kidneys for a period of time, such as due to blood loss, surgery, or shock \n Blockage in the urinary tract \n Taking drugs that can cause kidney problems (nephrotoxic drug) \n Any condition that can slow or block oxygen and blood to the kidneys, such as cardiac arrest \n Hemolytic uremic syndrome. It is usually caused by an E.coli infection. Kidney failure develops because of the blockage at tiny structures and blood vessels in the kidneys. \n Glomerulonephritis. This is a type of kidney disease that occurs in the part of the kidney called the glomeruli. Glomeruli become inflamed and impair kidneys function of filtrating. \n \n\n If your child has mild symptoms of kidney disease, consult to your doctor immediately to get relevant advice regarding the possibility of early preventive treatment. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Acute Kidney Failure<\/a><\/h3>
Kidneys are one of the important organs in the body. Kidneys have many vital functions, namely filtering (filtration) metabolic waste products and toxins from the blood to be excreted through urine, maintaining the body's fluid and electrolyte balance. The kidneys also produce several hormones, namely erythropoietin which has a role in the formation of erythrocytes (red blood cells), renin which has a role in regulating blood pressure, and the hormone prostaglandin which is useful in various body mechanisms. \n\n Acute kidney injury or acute kidney injury (AKI) is a syndrome characterized by impaired kidney function in regulating the composition of body fluids and electrolytes, as well as the production of metabolic waste products, which occur suddenly and rapidly. This condition is usually characterized by elevated levels of serum urea and creatinine and others. The glomerular filtration rate may decrease suddenly to below 15 mL/min. Acute kidney failure is reversible if it can be treated immediately and the cause is addressed. \n\n The causes of acute renal failure are classically divided into 3 main groups based on the location of pathophysiological abnormalities, namely before the kidney (prerenal), in the renal parenchyma/intrinsic, and after the kidney (post-renal) (5%). In prerenal (55% of cases) common causes include severe infection (sepsis), lack of fluids due to conditions such as bleeding, dehydration, severe vomiting, cardiogenic shock, certain drugs such as cyclophorin and tacrolimus in high doses, and hypotension causing a decrease in blood pressure. blood flow to the kidneys resulting in decreased glomerular perfusion. Renal/intrinsic renal failure (40% of cases) is caused by diseases that can affect kidney function such as infections of the kidneys and autoimmune diseases that attack the kidneys, drugs that are nephrotoxic. Postrenal (5% of cases) occurs due to obstruction of urinary flow by several causes, including: benign prostatic hypertrophy, pelvic tumors, and the presence of stones in the urinary tract. \n\n Clinical features of acute renal failure include changes in urine volume (reduced amount of urine or no urine output at all (anuria)), neurological disorders (weakness, fatigue, lethargy, headache, sleep disturbances, mental disorders, coma), skin disorders (itching, pigmentation, dry scaly skin), cardiopulmonary signs (shortness of breath due to pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, pleurisy, pericardial effusion, pericarditis), musculoskeletal (muscle cramps, loss of muscle strength) and gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, decreased appetite, vomiting). \n\n The main goals of management of acute renal failure are to prevent further kidney damage and to keep the patient alive until renal function returns to normal. There are two types of treatment in the management of AKI, namely conservative (supportive) therapy and renal replacement therapy (RRT), commonly known as dialysis. Conservative therapy can be done with drugs or fluids with the aim of preventing or reducing the progressive decline in renal function, morbidity, and mortality due to complications of AKI. If conservative therapy fails to treat any complications of AKI, consideration should be given to RRT (dialysis). The cause of acute kidney failure must also be sought and addressed so that kidney function can recover. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Getting to Know Blood Cholesterol Checks and Preparations<\/a><\/h3>
What is Cholesterol?\nBlood cholesterol is one of the most important elements in the body and one of a number of fats carried in the bloodstream. Cholesterol is very important for the body, but if the cholesterol level in the blood is excessive, it can be dangerous for health. This is what many people understand, where cholesterol is often considered a source of degenerative health problems today. But that does not mean that cholesterol does not have a function for the human body, in fact it is very helpful in the metabolic process.\nCholesterol is a complex fat compound that is produced in the liver about 1g/day and also in the small intestine and then circulates in the blood. Cholesterol has the function of forming and maintaining the function of body organs, provides an essential component of membranes in every cell of the body, is used to make green bile fluid stored in the gallbladder and plays an important role in the digestive process of food, helps coat nerves in providing a water-repellent substance on the surface of arteries. , makes sex hormones for the development and function of sexual organs, makes adrenaline hormones for metabolism and salt balance in the body, and is one of the ingredients needed by the body to make (synthesis) vitamin D. \n\n \n\n What is bad cholesterol and good cholesterol?\nFat profile examination consists of examination of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol (Low Density Lipoprotein) and HDL cholesterol (High Density Lipoprotein). Often we hear the terms bad cholesterol and good cholesterol. Part of the fat profile that is considered bad cholesterol is LDL cholesterol (contains protein and fat) where if the levels are elevated, this cholesterol can lead to the formation of plaques that can clog the walls of blood vessels (called atherosclerosis). When this happens, you will be at risk of heart disease and stroke. Good cholesterol or HDL cholesterol has an important role in the body. HDL cholesterol has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that are beneficial for reducing bad cholesterol in the bloodstream. Thanks to these benefits, high levels of good cholesterol can prevent the risk of diseases caused by bad cholesterol. The most important way to lower cholesterol is to return to a healthy lifestyle, especially in diet.\n\nWhy do we have to do cholesterol checks?\nCholesterol is an important type of check because high cholesterol levels are often the cause of coronary artery disease. High cholesterol usually causes no signs or symptoms. Therefore, it is recommended to do cholesterol tests regularly to monitor cholesterol levels and find out if there is a risk of having a heart attack or blood vessel disease.\n\nWhat is the importance of checking cholesterol regularly?\nIn general, laboratory examinations for cholesterol or fat profiles consist of 2 (two), namely, screening examinations or screening examinations carried out without any reason for the examination. Usually these checks are carried out by the company as a condition of the health eligibility of employees. On screening examinations, usually many patients are found with a state of hypercholesterolemia or an increase in total cholesterol levels in the blood. Dyslipidemia is often found, which is a fat metabolism disorder characterized by an increase or decrease in the level of the lipid profile in the blood. Then the second examination is called a diagnostic examination, which is carried out to establish a diagnosis of a particular disease. This examination is highly recommended for people who have risk factors, have a family history of high cholesterol or have had a heart attack, are overweight, rarely exercise or are not active, have diabetes mellitus, frequently eat unhealthy foods, smoker and men who over 45 years old or women over 55 years old. \n\n \n\n What preparations should be made before checking cholesterol?\n1. Examination should be done in the morning because based on the theory of diurnal variation, cholesterol levels are at their lowest in the morning.\n2. Fasting approximately 9-12 hours before blood sampling, only mineral water may be consumed during the fasting period.\n3. Do not eat high-fat foods the night before the examination\n4. Do not consume alcoholic beverages or excessive exercise before the examination\n5. Tell if there is any use of drugs to the examining laboratory \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Heartburn does not mean stomach acid. Let's check the facts here!<\/a><\/h3>
Acid reflux is one of the most common digestive system disorders. The first thing that sufferers usually complain about is pain in the pit of the stomach. No wonder heartburn is often associated with acid reflux. But, is heartburn only caused by rising stomach acid? \n\n Most heartburn is caused by stomach acid rising. In fact, this pain will get worse when the sufferer is eating food. But in fact, it turns out that heartburn is not only caused by acid reflux but also due to several other diseases. \n\n \n\n Stomach Acid and Heartburn \n\n Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a disease caused by stomach acid rising from the stomach into the esophagus (esophagus). \n\n If it occurs chronically, stomach acid can be dangerous because it can cause irritation and infection of the esophagus. For people with stomach acid, they will usually experience heartburn for one to two hours. \n\n However, apparently, stomach acid does not only make you feel heartburn. There are several other symptoms that you may also feel, such as: \n\n \n\n \n Heartburn \n \n\n Heartburn is a condition where you feel a burning sensation in your chest. In fact, in the worst case, the burning sensation can be felt up to the throat. Avoid lying down when you have heartburn. When heartburn strikes, inhale and exhale slowly to overcome it. \n\n \n Nausea and Vomiting \n \n\n Symptoms of nausea and vomiting occur due to increased production of stomach acid. If when stomach acid rises you feel nauseous, avoid consuming fatty and oily foods. Also avoid gassy drinks such as soda to prevent stomach acid from rising. \n\n \n Hoarse Voice \n \n\n Stomach acid that rises up into the esophagus over a long period of time can also cause hoarseness. This is due to irritation that also occurs in the throat and vocal cords. \n\n \n The emergence of sour and bitter taste in the mouth \n \n\n Severe acid reflux disease can cause stomach acid to rise up into the mouth. Sometimes, the rest of the food also goes up with stomach acid. As a result, sufferers can feel a sour and bitter taste in the mouth. \n\n \n\n Reduces and Treats Heartburn \n\n To reduce the pain of heartburn, sufferers can avoid foods that trigger it, such as spicy foods, chocolate, soft drinks, onions, fruits with high citrus, eating too much, and fatty foods. \n\n As for the treatment itself, it depends on the underlying cause. Consult with your doctor first about the complaints you feel. After the doctor records and analyzes, then you can get the right treatment. \n\n In addition, maintaining an ideal body weight can also be one way to prevent heartburn. Excess weight will increase the pressure on the abdomen and push the stomach up. This is what will eventually cause stomach acid to rise into the esophagus. \n\n Also avoid lying down immediately after eating. If you really want to lie down, at least give yourself a break of about three hours after eating. \n\n Most symptoms of acid reflux do cause discomfort, especially heartburn. If the symptoms of heartburn have interfered with daily activities, immediately consult a doctor to get the right and appropriate treatment. Because, the cause of heartburn is not necessarily due to rising stomach acid. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

These are four skin diseases that often occur in babies and how to deal with them<\/a><\/h3>
Babies have more sensitive skin than adults. That is why your little one is prone to skin problems due to various causes, ranging from friction with diapers, allergic reactions, clogged sweat, and so on. \n\n Here are the four types of skin diseases in infants that are most often experienced. Also, identify the causes of baby skin problems and how to overcome them. \n\n \n Diaper Rash \n \n\n As the name implies, diaper rash in babies is a skin problem in the form of irritation of the skin area covered by the diaper. The skin with diaper rash looks red and itchy. Diaper rash is fairly common in babies, especially at the age of 9–12 months. \n\n Diaper rash can occur due to an irritant reaction (due to skin contact with urine or feces), infection (from exposure to bacteria or fungi), or allergies (a skin reaction to diaper material or fragrance/alcohol ingredients in cleaning wipes). \n\n Treat diaper rash by taking the following steps: \n\n \n Let the skin in the diaper area dry in the open air for as long as possible. \n Apply diaper cream on the skin of the groin area covered by the diaper. \n Immediately change a dirty diaper. \n Use disposable diapers while the child still has diaper rash. \n \n\n 2.Cradle Cap \n\n Miliaria, or commonly called prickly heat, is characterized by small red nodules that sometimes contain water. Prickly heat usually appears on the forehead, neck, shoulders, chest, back, and areas of skin folds. \n\n The cause of prickly heat is the inhibition of sweating due to the baby's epidermis clogging the pores. If there is irritation and contact with germs, prickly heat can become infected and develop into ulcers filled with pus. \n\n Treat prickly heat in the following ways: \n\n \n Quickly change the baby's clothes when they're damp from sweat. \n After bathing, use a towel gently or leave your little one's body without clothes for a while so that the skin dries by itself. The goal is to prevent prickly heat from getting worse due to friction with the towel. \n Choose clothes from easy-to-absorb materials such as cotton or t-shirts and loose models so that the baby is comfortable and doesn't overheat easily. \n Apply a special ointment or powder as recommended by the doctor if inflammation occurs. \n Take him to the doctor immediately if prickly heat doesn't get better, fever or severe itching develops, signs of infection such as pus appear, or the baby has prickly heat too often to interfere with rest and activities. \n \n\n See a doctor right away if the diaper rash doesn't go away, if you have a fever, sores have pus, a rash with severe pain, or a bright red rash with red spots around the edges. If necessary, the doctor will give an antifungal cream and antibiotics. \n\n 3.Eczema \n\n In children aged 2 months to 2 years, atopic dermatitis or eczema, also commonly referred to as infantile eczema, is characterized by symptoms of dry skin, redness, scaling, and itching.
