Track Categories
The track category is the heading under which your abstract will be reviewed and later published in the conference printed matters if accepted. During the submission process, you will be asked to select one track category for your abstract.
Nephrology concerns the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases, including electrolyte disturbances and hypertension, and the care of those requiring renal replacement therapy, including dialysis and renal transplant patients. The word 'dialysis' is from the mid 19th century: via Latin from the Greek word 'dialusis'; from 'dialuein' (split, separate), from 'dia' (apart) and 'luein' (set free). In other words, dialysis replaces the primary (excretory) function of the kidney, which separates (and removes) excess toxins and water from the blood, placing them in the urine.
Glomerular disease is a disorder of the kidneys, in which the normal functioning of the kidneys is disturbed and the chemical balance is not maintained in your blood and urine. Healthy kidneys flush out toxins and waste materials in the urine and retain red blood corpuscles and proteins in the blood itself.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is defined as deterioration of renal function over hours, days to weeks. The mortality rate of AKI is 50-80% in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, and has not declined significantly since the initial marked benefit of acute dialysis therapy.
Kidney transplant or renal transplant is the organ transplant of a kidney into a patient with end-stage kidney disease. Kidney transplant is typically classified as deceased-donor or living-donor transplantation depending on the source of the donor organ.
Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from your blood, as your kidneys did when they were healthy. Hemodialysis helps control blood pressure and balance important minerals, such as potassium, sodium, and calcium, in your blood.
Case reports focusses on the prevention, diagnosis, and management of kidney diseases and associated disorders, including cancer.
Diabetic Nephropathy deals with the serious kidney-related complication of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. It damages the ability of the kidney to accomplish their regular work of removing the waste products and extra fluid from the body.
Proper health conditions should be managed that prevents kidney damages such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Some of the common kidney disease prevention strategies are making healthy food choices, making physical activity part of your routine.
Female Urology deals with the unintended leakage after excessive excitements and physical movements most often occurs in women in their late 30s and older, typically after having children. Excess obsessiveness also plays a major role in developing leakage. Physical exam and evaluation, behavioural therapies, considering reduction in the intake of water and caffeine as well as trying exercises for the pelvic floor muscles to build strength. Surgical options can also be implemented if the problem persists or worsens.
Successful kidney transplantation offers the best possible quality of life for patients with end stage renal disease. Despite this, the successful renal transplantation rates in the developing world are considerably lower than in the developed world. When identified reasons for this include lack of awareness, low education levels, lack of a clear national policy, absence of functional dialysis and transplant units with adequately trained staff, and absence of an organized system of organ retrieval from deceased donors and lack of opportunities to fund long-term immunosuppression. Some of Challenges include Acute Rejection, Graft Loss, Graft Survival.
Urology, also known as genitourinary surgery, is the branch of medicine that focuses on surgical and medical diseases of the male and female urinary-tract system and the male reproductive organs
The diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases, consisting the electrolyte disturbances and hypertension and the care of those requiring renal replacement therapy, including dialysis and renal transplant patients. It also deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and management of kidney diseases and associated disorders, including cancer
Renal physiology is the study of the physiology of the kidney. This encompasses all functions of the kidney, including maintenance of acid-base balance; regulation of fluid balance; regulation of sodium, potassium, and other electrolytes; clearance of toxins; absorption of glucose, amino acids, and other small molecules; regulation of blood pressure; production of various hormones, such as erythropoietin; and activation of vitamin D.
Much of renal physiology is studied at the level of the nephron, the smallest functional unit of the kidney. Each nephron begins with a filtration component that filters the blood entering the kidney. This filtrate then flows along the length of the nephron, which is a tubular structure lined by a single layer of specialized cells and surrounded by capillaries. The major functions of these lining cells are the reabsorption of water and small molecules from the filtrate into the blood, and the secretion of wastes from the blood into the urine.
Nephritis is a condition in which the nephrons, the functional units of the kidneys, become inflamed. This inflammation, which is also known as glomerulonephritis, can adversely affect kidney function.
Onconephrology is a burgeoning new specialty in nephrology that deals with the study of kidney diseases in cancer patients. A nephrologist who takes care of patients with cancer is called an Onconephrologist
A condition in which the kidneys stop working and are not able to remove waste and extra water from the blood or keep body chemicals in balance. Acute or severe renal failure happens suddenly (for example, after an injury) and may be treated and cured.
There are several other kidney diseases to be discussed.
A renal diet is one that is low in sodium, phosphorous, and protein. A renal diet also emphasizes the importance of consuming high-quality protein and usually limiting fluids. Some patients may also need to limit potassium and calcium.
Following a kidney diet may also help promote kidney function and slow the progression of complete kidney failure. A renal diet is one that is low in sodium, phosphorous, and protein. A renal diet also emphasizes the importance of consuming high-quality protein and usually limiting fluids.
An inherited disorder in which clusters of cysts develop in the kidneys. The cysts in polycystic kidney disease are non-cancerous sacs containing water-like fluid. They can grow very large. Many people with this condition have kidney failure by age 60. Symptoms include high blood pressure, back or side pain and a swollen abdomen.
Treatments include medication to control blood pressure, pain relievers and cyst removal. A kidney transplant may also be required.
