Renal syndrome involves kidney failure and is often a comorbidity with other diseases. Symptoms include urine retention, frequent urination, and abdominal pain. Treatment depends on the cause, and can include medications and dialysis. Different forms of renal syndrome are associated with viral infections, autoimmune diseases, genetic conditions, and liver disease. Treatment options vary depending on the specific condition.
Renal syndrome is a medical condition involving the kidneys, characterized by kidney failure or kidney failure that makes a patient seriously ill. A number of medical conditions have been linked to the development of this condition and it is often seen as a comorbidity, meaning that it occurs at the same time as another disease. Treatment of renal syndrome is based on identifying the cause and addressing it by stabilizing the patient’s kidney function with measures such as medications and dialysis.
Symptoms of kidney problems may include urine retention, an urgent need to urinate, frequent urination, thirst, fluid retention, painful urination, changes in the composition of your urine, and abdominal pain. When rental problems are a comorbidity, it is sometimes difficult for a physician to accurately diagnose and treat the patient, as the physician may not expect to see two illnesses at the same time.
One form of renal syndrome occurs in hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), a condition in which a viral infection causes hemorrhagic fever and the patient also develops kidney problems. This condition is linked to hantaviruses, which are typically caught through exposure to disease-carrying rodents. Treatment for the condition may vary, depending on which virus is responsible, and the patient may develop kidney failure.
In pulmonary-renal syndrome, an inflammation of the kidneys is associated with lung problems. This condition is associated with certain autoimmune diseases, and researchers have noted that the presentation of this condition in a patient can help narrow down the determination of which autoimmune condition is responsible for a patient’s poor health. Addressing the syndrome in this case involves treating or managing the autoimmune condition and monitoring kidney and lung function for signs of developing complications.
A genetic condition, branchio-oto-renal syndrome, also involves disruption of kidney function. Patients with this condition have malformations of the ears, neck, and kidneys and may develop kidney failure or kidney failure. Like other genetic conditions, this condition can manifest itself in varying degrees of severity. It requires lifelong management and treatment.
People with liver disease can also experience renal syndrome. In people with severe or end-stage liver disease, hepatorenal syndrome can develop. This condition involves failure of both the kidneys and the liver. Treatment options may vary, depending on the cause of the liver failure, but may include the need for a transplant. Until donor organs are available, various medical techniques can be used to manage the patient and keep him stable.
