Question 1

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 2

is it ok to use splenda if i have renal failure and diabetes?

Accepted Answer

Depends how much: The premise is that splenda is not absorbable i.e. Will not go to blood to cause systemic effects. However, any substance in large amounts may behave differently and become absorbed partly. Therefore, we actually cannot be very sure that large amounts of splenda is safe. Moderation is the key. Having not seen a surge of kidney failure in the recent years isn't necessarily reassuring.

Question 3

what are the common diseases which may give rise to renal failure?

Accepted Answer

Diabetes etc: The most common cause of kidney failure is diabetes, followed by high blood pressure and inflammatory disorders of the kidney.

Question 4

what are common predisposing factors for renal failure after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Shock or hypovolemia: Did not specify is surgery is emergent, or elective.  Motor vehicle wrecks can damage a great deal of muscle which leads to rhabdomyoloysis which leads to acute (reversible) renal failure.  Likewise, low blood volume (e.g. Blood loss) or shock (from overwhelming infection, or blood loss or the kidneys getting insufficient blood (e.g. Surgeon clamps renal artery accidentally) may all be involved.

Question 5

what are the common diseases that can give rise to chronic renal failure?

Accepted Answer

AODM and HTN: Without question, adult onset diabetes mellitis and hypertension are the most common. Together, these diseases account for over half of our nation's ckd-5 (end stage renal failure). Because each of these diseases can be modified by lifestyle, exercise, weight management, and medications, it is important for us to do all we can to prevent renal failure - or at least delay it as long as possible. Lg.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Surgery: Blood loss, inadequate volume resuscitation, excess diuretics, poor PO in take. Any thing that removes fluid from the body or reduces renal blood flow, such as low cardiac output.

Question 8

hoping you can tell me, is common predisposing factor for pre-renal acute renal failure post-operatively?

Accepted Answer

Yes,: Yes and as post-operatively BP may be low for a time and it can cause pre-renal acute renal failure!

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Kidney failure may run in families but may not depending on the kind. Also, diabetes type 2 runs in families but some members get spared. Type 1 is much less inheritable however. The process of inheritance in diabetes is not completely understood and cannot be predicted with precision.

Question 10
