Question 1

what to do about paranchymal changes in chronic renal failure?

Accepted Answer

Options: Currently  no therapy can reduce "parenchymal" or tissue changes to patients with kidney disease What damage has occurred its permanent. What you can do is to try to prevent disease from progressing quickly by watching blood pressure diet, and taking disease sparing medications: often blood pressure medications (ace-inhibitors, ARBS, or aldosterone antagonists). See a nephrologist first.

Here are some...: Those denotes the possible microscopic changes in solid part of kidney tissues in and from which the doctors can say what kinds of diseases contribute to renal failure, like glomerulonephritis from childhood streptococcal infection, lupus, or so-called nephropathy which may be related to diabetes ro hypertension or drug-induced nephritis, etc. so potential right care can be given. More? Ask doctor

Question 3

could you tell me what functional changes occur in kidney with chronic renal failure?

Accepted Answer

Only late: Patients with chronic kidney disease usually do well for years with no symptoms.  This depends on the cause of the kidney problem.  It is important for close follow up by your doctor or nephrologist to minimize further kidney damage. The actual changes in the kidney depend on the causre, but the  ultimate effect is gradual reduction of the kidney's ability to clear waste products from blood.

Question 5

can herpes cause renal failure?

Accepted Answer

Have not seen that: I have not seen herpes cause renal failure, but sometimes strange things can happen to an unlucky person with any disease. The medications to treat herpes, such as Acyclovir and valtrex, (valacyclovir) can cause renal failure if a patient already has decreased renal function, is taking large doses of the anti-virals, or is taking other medications (that also affect the kidneys) at the same time.

Question 6

renal failure common with diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Diabetes is the most common cause of permanent kidney failure in most of the world. 40-50% of patients with diabetes will be affected by this complication. 
Diabetes also increases the risk of acute kidney injury, particularly following x-rays using intravenous contrast.

Question 7

what causes itching in renal failure?

Accepted Answer

Increase urea levels: The kidneys are the cleansing organs through which all the blood flows in and dangerous by products of the body are filtered and removed through the urine. Everything the body needs is returned to the blood from the kidneys. As the kidneys fail, a protein breakdown product called urea builds up, and when high enough builds up in the skin causing itching. Transplant and/or dialysis may follow.

Question 8

can renal failure present with polyurea?

Accepted Answer

Urine Volume: Your question is can someone who is on dialysis have lots of urine still (polyuria).  The clearance of toxins and water functions of the kidney are different.  One can require dialysis because of the lack of toxin clearance, but still clear water and appear to be voiding normally.  Patients on dialysis eventually lose the ability to clear water as well.

Question 9

how does dehydration affect renal failure?

Accepted Answer

Usually worsens it: Dehydration leads to less perfusion or bllod flow to the kidneys and can make kidney failure worse.

Question 10

if untreated can herpes cause renal failure?

Accepted Answer

Doubt it: Herpes can do some odd things, but i've not encountered renal failure from it. People w/genital herpes may choose not to treat it, either because they don't have symptoms or because their symptoms are so mild. For most of the 50 million americans with genital herpes, the infection is an annoyance, and can be emotionally or socially bothersome, but is rarely a serious infection.
