Kidneys

Circulatory System

Kidney Transplant and its Effects

Recovery and care (lifestyle changes post-transplant)

Risks (rejection, immunosuppressive medications in other words, suppression of the body's immune system)

Benefits (restores kidney function, no need for dialysis)

Procedure overview (donor and recipient match)

Interconnection with the Endocrine System

Calcitriol (active form of vitamin D, affects calcium balance)

Erythropoietin production (stimulates red blood cell production)

Renin secretion (kidneys trigger the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system)

Functions of the Kidneys

Produce hormones (like erythropoietin for red blood cells)

Balance fluids and electrolytes

Regulate blood pressure (via renin)

Filter waste from blood (nephrons)

Circulatory system

Ethical Considerations

Impact on donor and recipient families

Organ donation consent (ethical sourcing of organs)

Fair distribution of organs (allocation ethics, prioritization)

Live vs. deceased donors

Diagnostic Methods for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Kidney biopsy (examine tissue sample)

Imaging tests (ultrasound, CT scans)

Urine tests (check for protein, albumin)

Blood tests (check for creatinine, GFR)

Interconnection with the Circulatory System

Water and salt balance (affects blood volume and pressure)

Regulation of blood pressure (renin-angiotensin system)

Blood filtration (renal arteries bring blood to kidneys, veins take filtered blood back)

Endocrine System
