Chronic Kidney Disease Chronic kidney disease is related to a decrease in kidney function or damage to the kidney function for a minimum of 3 months. Actually, it is an ongoing process in which nephrons’ functioning decrease, glomeruli are destroyed, and glomerular stress is increased as a result of more work by surviving glomeruli to increase glomerular filtration rate (GFR); thereby, resulting in predictable steady decline of the function of kidneys (Buttaro, 2013). Chronic kidney disease is usually difficult to detect or grasp, and symptoms may not appear with a GFR more than 35%. However, when ...

Surplus calcium is generally dissolved in the blood tissue for excretion through the urine; however it is ordinary for a certain quantity to accumulate in a region within the body tissues. This accumulation of calcium then hardens the tissue overtime. Calcification is also a part of the body’s defensive reaction to injury, in addition to being part of an innate inflammatory response ...
