With the international concern-: “Are your kidneys well?” and the labeling “Find out in a timely manner and protect the health of your kidneys”, the international campaign in the context of World Day kidneyMarch 13, aims to recognize the importance of good kidney health and is aimed at all levels of medical care.

The aim is to inform and raise public awareness through health education and education programs, to adopt a healthy lifestyle and exercise lifestyle, as well as the recognition of symptoms for the risk factors of the kidney disease, the renal disease says, the Hellenic Nephrology Society of Nurses (ENEN).

The kidneys are powerful chemical factories that run the following functions:

  • Eliminate all the useless products of metabolism, as well as medicines and other toxins entering the body
  • They regulate the acid -based balance, balance of salt, water and other ions and trace elements of the human body, such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, chlorine and various acids
  • Release hormones that regulate blood pressure
  • Produce an active form of vitamin D, necessary for healthy bones
  • Activate vitamin B
  • They produce erythropoietin hormone and control the production of red blood cells.

When the kidneys gradually lose their functional capacity, then we can talk about Chronic kidney disease, notes ENEN.

Kidney disease occurs in a patient either as a random finding in routine examination or with manifestations of kidney dysfunction such as YEdema, edema, nausea, vomiting, hematuria, oliguria, Anuria.

Most patients remain no symptoms until the significant progression of the diseasewhile many people will be led to dialysis, notes the President of the Hellenic Nephrology Society of Nurses (ENEN), Panayiotas Tsougia.

10% of the world population suffers from Chronic kidney disease (Hnn). Over 2 million people in the world are submitted in treatment replacement of renal function or have received a renal implant. Many more would need treatment, but they do not receive it.

In our country they are subjected to Hemodialysis 11,769 patientsperitoneal 613 patients and 2,884 are transplanted.

All sufferers from chronic kidney disease renal disease (HNNDs), without exception, receive hospital care and I willExtraterrestrial purification.

“We are confident that the scientific presentation as the therapeutic use of nuclear medicine in nephrology, the development of a protocol of hospitalization after taking radioactive iodine will answer and clarify questions and concerns about the safe use of nuclear medicine in patients in patients.” The President of ENEN, P.
