#KidneyFunction

#CKD is a progressive loss in #kidneyfunction over a period of time. Your kidneys have a million tiny filters, called #nephrons, and if damaged, they stop working. After a certain point, the nephrons that are left cannot filter your blood well to keep you healthy. #WorldKidneyDay

#Kidneyfunction is best measured by an indicator called Glomerular Filtration Rate which measures the #blood filtration rate by #kidneys. eGFR is estimated GFR and is a mathematically derived entity based on a patient’s serum #creatinine level, age, sex and race. #WorldKidneyDay

#AKI is the sudden and dramatic loss of #kidneyfunction. This can happen rapidly, often in just a few days. In many cases the #kidney can recover almost completely from #AKI, but urgent #treatment including #dialysis may be needed while waiting for the kidneys to recover.
