  2. Light chain deposition disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_chain_deposition_disease

    Oncology. Light chain deposition disease ( LCDD) is a rare blood cell disease which is characterized by deposition of fragments of infection-fighting immunoglobulins, called light chains (LCs), in the body. LCs are normally cleared by the kidneys, but in LCDD, these light chain deposits damage organs and cause disease.

    003468. LOINC. 24322-0, 24323-8. The comprehensive metabolic panel, or chemical screen ( CMP; CPT code 80053), is a panel of 14 blood tests that serves as an initial broad medical screening tool. The CMP provides a rough check of kidney function, liver function, diabetic and parathyroid status, and electrolyte and fluid balance, but this type ...

    Corticosteroids. Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis ( RPGN) is a syndrome of the kidney that is characterized by a rapid loss of kidney function, [ 4][ 5] (usually a 50% decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) within 3 months) [ 5] with glomerular crescent formation seen in at least 50% [ 5] or 75% [ 4] of glomeruli seen on kidney ...

    Gitelman syndrome (GS) is an autosomal recessive kidney tubule disorder characterized by low blood levels of potassium and magnesium, decreased excretion of calcium in the urine, and elevated blood pH. [2] It is the most frequent hereditary salt-losing tubulopathy. Gitelman syndrome is caused by disease-causing variants on both alleles of the ...

    Chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder ( CKD–MBD) is one of the many complications associated with chronic kidney disease. It represents a systemic disorder of mineral and bone metabolism due to CKD manifested by either one or a combination of the following: [1] [2] Abnormalities of calcium, phosphorus ( phosphate ), parathyroid ...

    Renal osteodystrophy is currently defined as an alteration of bone morphology in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). [ 1] It is one measure of the skeletal component of the systemic disorder of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). [ 1][ 2][ 3] The term "renal osteodystrophy" was coined in 1943, [ 4] 60 years after ...

  9. Hyperuricemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperuricemia

    Elevated blood lead is significantly correlated with both impaired kidney function and hyperuricemia (although the causal relationship among these correlations is not known). In a study of over 2500 people resident in Taiwan, a blood lead level exceeding 7.5 microg/dL (a small elevation) had odds ratios of 1.92 (95% CI: 1.18-3.10) for renal ...
