    Diabetes insipidus neurohypophyseal is a condition where disruptions in water balance are caused. People with neurohypophyseal produce too much urine, which also causes them to be excessively thirsty. People suffering from this condition may get quickly dehydrated if they don’t drink enough water. If proper treatment is not done for the condition, then serious problems may arise for the patie  Read More

  • Diabetes urine tests

    Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy. Sometimes your body doesn’t make enough—or any—insulin or doesn’t use insulin well. Glucose then stays in your blood and doesn’t reach your cells. Over time,  Read More

  • Diabetes, type 2

    Type 2 diabetes may be a chronic and life-long disease wherein the body either is incapable to produce enough insulin or the cells present in our body don’t respond to insulin in a correct way. Consequently, there isn’t sufficient insulin to move on the glucose Type 2 diabetes more probably grips people who are over the age of 40, have a family history of diabetes and are overweight.  Read More

Diabetic neuropathy is the most common complication of diabetes. What are the types of diabetic neuropathy? There are  Read More

  • Didmoad

    Risk factors for DIDMOAD Wolfram is a genetic disorder that develops the symptoms at the early age of 6. Currently, there are no effective ways to delay or treat the disease. Thus, there are no defined epigenetic risk factors for the disease. The only factor that marks the risk for an individual to develop the disease is the inheritance of defected variants of genes WFS 1 or CISD 2. The risk is zero when one  Read More

  • Fructosuria

    Fructose is a sugar that occurs naturally in fruits, vegetables, and honey. When a person cannot digest or absorb fructose, they may have fructose intolerance known as fructosuria.

  • Glycogenosis type iii

    The following can determine your susceptibility to glycogenosis type iii: Gycogenosis type iii is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Recessive genetic disorders occur when the child inherits two copies of an altered gene, one from each parent for the same trait. It is caused by the mutation in the AGL gene. There are several types of GSD, but type III is among the most common.  Read More

  • Glycogenosis type iv

    Normally, this glycogen storage disease type IV is caused due to mutations in the GBE1 gene, an important glycogen branching enzyme. This enzyme is responsible for producing glycogen, a major energy source. It results from abnormal functioning of the enzyme, which accelerates glycogen metabolism. In general, glycogen storage disorder is an autosomal recessive trait. Parents who are close relatives o  Read More

  • Hepatorenal syndrome (hrs)

    Currently, the only curative therapy for patients with hepatorenal syndrome is a liver transplant, which treats both liver diseases and associated impaired renal functions. However, even after the liver transplantation, the treated patients have lower chances of recovering from their kidney disease. Liver Transplantation – It is one of the best treatments for HRS, but it's not an optimal option for people with HRS-1, who a  Read More

  • Hypercholesterolemia, type iv

    The condition generally runs in families but can be managed with proper treatment and healthy lifestyle habits. Patients with hypercholesterolemia need to take one or more medications to manage their cholesterol levels. It includes Statins - drugs will help in blocking the substance that is required by the liver to produce cholesterol. Examples are Arorvastatin (Lipitor), Simavastatin (Zocor), Pitavastatin (Livalo), Fluvastatin  Read More

  • Hyperglycemia

    Hyperglycemia doesn't cause symptoms until glucose values are significantly elevated — above 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or 11 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). Symptoms of hyperglycemia develop slowly over several days or weeks. The longer blood sugar levels stay high, the more serious the symptoms become. However, some people who've had type 2 diabetes for a long time may not show any symptoms despite elevated blood sugars.  Read More

  • Hypoglycemia

    If blood sugar levels become too low, signs and symptoms may include: An irregular heart rhythm Fatigue Pale skin Shakiness Anxiety Sweating Hunger Irritability Tingling sensation around the mouth Crying out during sleep As hypoglycemia worsens, signs and symptoms may include: Confusion, abnormal behavior or b  Read More

    There is no cure for IgA Nephropathy, as well as there is no reliable way to indicate how it will affect the individuals. However, certain medications can be taken to manage the symptoms of the conditions, including blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Medications – Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs) are prescribed to lower the level of blood pressure and decrease the l  Read More

  • Immunoglobulin deficiency

    There is no specific curable treatment or medications available for Immunoglobulin deficiency. In some situations, Immunotherapy is one f the best therapy for people with the condition, that aids in the production of antibodies.

  • Juxtaglomerular hyperplasia

    Juxtaglomerular hyperplasia is a new syndrome characterized by hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the juxtaglomerular apparatus of the kidneys, aldosteronism that results from adrenal cortical hyperplasia, and consistently normal blood pressure. Here, the aldosterone is overproduced, which has a strong impairment of urinary concentration ability. In this condition, the circulating angiotensin starts getting increasi  Read More

  • Kidney agenesis

    There is no cure for kidney agenesis currently, but babies with this condition can normally live with a few limitations in lifestyle. Babies with URA should avoid getting their remaining kidneys injured or damaged and avoid playing sports when they are older. Once a patient is diagnosed with URA, they should get their urine, BP, and blood tested every year to check if any kidney problem has arised or not. In  Read More

  • Kidney disease of diabetes

    The initial step in treating diabetic nephropathy is controlling the sugar level/diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension). Diet, lifestyle changes, exercise, and prescription medications can help control diabetes. Proper management of your blood sugar and hypertension, can help prevent or delay kidney dysfunction and other complications. However, if you are already affected by diabetic nephropathy, you  Read More

  • Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

    As this disease is hereditary, risk begins from the defected male gene, which can pass through women in their children. Infants are usually born with Nephrogenic Diabetes due to hereditary mutations of genes from parents. Problems with a part of your brain that controls thirst can also cause diabetes insipidus Certain chronic diseases and drugs for the same given during the first few months lead to this form  Read More

  • Nondiabetic glycosuria

    Normally, the body excretes glucose in the urine only when there is an excess glucose level in the blood.In healthy people, the glucose will be completely reabsorbed into the blood after filtration.However, in patients affected by Non-diabetic Glycosuia, the glucose may not be completely reabsorbed by the condition but will be excreted in the urine, despite the blood glucose level being in its healthy rang  Read More
