positive attitude on the topic of End Stage Renal Disease
● AGE

increases your risk for
kidney disease.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Firstly, the rate of renal blood
flow of approximately 400
ml/100g of tissue per minute is
much greater than that observed
in other well perfused vascular
beds such as heart, liver and
brain. As a consequence, renal
tissue might be exposed to a
significant quantity of any
potentially harmful circulating
agents or substances. Secondly,
glomerular filtration is
dependent on rather high intra-
and transglomerular pressure
(even under physiologic
conditions), rendering the
glomerular capillaries
vulnerable to hemodynamic
injury, in contrast to other
capillary beds. In line with this,
Brenner and coworkers
identified glomerular
hypertension and hyperfiltration
as major contributors to the
progression of chronic renal
disease. Thirdly, glomerular
filtration membrane has
negatively charged molecules
which serve as a barrier
retarding anionic
macromolecules. With
disruption in this electrostatic
barrier, as is the case in many
forms of glomerular injury,
plasma protein gains access to
the glomerular filtrate.
Fourthly, the sequential
organization of nephron’s
microvasculature (glomerular
convolute and the peritubular
capillary network) and the
downstream position of the
tubuli with respect to glomeruli,
not only maintains the
glomerulo-tubular balance but
also facilitates the spreading of
glomerular injury to
tubulointerstitial compartment
in disease, exposing tubular
epithelial cells to abnormal
ultrafiltrate. As peritubular
vasculature underlies
glomerular circulation, some
mediators of glomerular
inflammatory reaction may
overflow into the peritubular
circulation contributing to the
interstitial inflammatory
reaction frequently recorded in
glomerular disease. Moreover,
any decrease in preglomerular
or glomerular perfusion leads to
decrease in peritubular blood
flow, which, depending on the
degree of hypoxia, entails
tubulointerstitial injury and
tissue remodeling. Thus, the
concept of the nephron as a
functional unit applies not only
to renal physiology, but also to
the pathophysiology of renal
diseases. In the fifth place, the
glomerulus itself should also be
regarded as a functional unit
with each of its individual
constituents, i.e. endothothelial,
mesangial, visceral and parietal
epithelial cells - podocytes, and
their extracellular matrix
representing an integral part of
the normal function. Damage to
one will in part affect the other
through different mechanisms,
direct cell-cell connections
(e.g., gap junctions), soluble
mediators such as chemokines,
cytokines, growth factors, and
changes in matrix and basement
membrane composition.
The main causes of renal injury
are based on immunologic
reactions (initiated by immune
complexes or immune cells),
tissue hypoxia and ischaemia,
exogenic agents like drugs,
endogenous substances like
glucose or paraproteins and
others, and genetic defects.
Irrespective of the underlying
cause glomerulosclerosis and
tubulointerstitial fibrosis are
common to CKD.
