Definition: CKD is defined as abnormalities of kidney structure or function, present for >3
months, with implications for health.
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs found in vertebrates. They are located on the
left and right in the retroperitoneal space.
In adult humans are about 11 centimetres (4.3 in) in length. They receive blood from the
paired renal arteries; blood exits into the paired renal veins. Each kidney is attached to a
ureter, a tube that carries excreted urine to the bladder.
Surface anatomy:
The kidneys lie retroperitoneally (behind the peritoneum) in the abdomen, either side of
the vertebral column.
They typically extend from T12 to L3, although the right kidney is often situated slightly
lower due to the presence of the liver. Each kidney is approximately three vertebrae in length.
The adrenal glands sit immediately superior to the kidneys within a separate envelope
of the renal fascia.
Arterial Supply:
The kidneys are supplied with blood via the renal arteries, which arise directly from the
abdominal aorta, immediately distal to the origin of the superior mesenteric artery. Due to
the anatomical position of the abdominal aorta (slightly to the left of the midline), the right
renal artery is longer, and crosses the vena cava posteriorly.
The renal artery enters the kidney via the renal hilum. At the hilum level, the renal artery
forms an anterior and a posterior division, which carry 75% and 25% of the blood supply to the
kidney, respectively. Five segmental arteries originate from these two divisions.
The avascular plane of the kidney (line of Brodel) is an imaginary line along the lateral and
slightly posterior border of the kidney, which delineates the segments of the kidney supplied
by the anterior and posterior divisions. It is an important access route for both open and
endoscopic surgical access of the kidney, as it minimises the risk of damage to major arterial
branches.
Venous Drainage:
The kidneys are drained of venous blood by the left and right renal veins. They leave the renal
hilum anteriorly to the renal arteries, and empty directly into the inferior vena cava.
As the vena cava lies slightly to the right, the left renal vein is longer, and travels anteriorly to
the abdominal aorta below the origin of the superior mesenteric artery. The right renal artery
lies posterior to the inferior vena cava.
Physiological Overview:
1. Renal blood supply to approx 20% of cardiac output 90% to cortex 1% to medulla
2. 2 capillary beds arranged in series
3. Glomerular: High pressure for absorption
4. Peritubular: Low pressure for absorption
5. Urine formation: simple filtration, selective & passive reabsorption, concentration
Stages of CKD:
Etiology:
Risk Factors:
Urine may contain abnormal amounts of protein, RBC’s, White blood cells or casts
Increased serum Creatinin, BUN level and retention of urea and other nitrogenous
waste (uraemia and azotemia)

the general condition of the problem.
12.03.2021: Patient had problem to pass the urine. Medication was administered to solve the problem. Various
nursing intervention had been applied to make the patient feel better.
13.03.2021: Patient was weak due to disease condition. Diet plan had been modified. Patient did the daily living
activities with the help of nursing professional. Oral care provided to decrease the loss of appetite. Change in
fluid therapy advised by the doctor
14.03.2021: Patient has discomfort due to fluid excess within the body. Swelling in hands and feets occurred.
Dialysis had been advised. Various aseptic techniques had been practiced to advice. Various aseptic techniques
had been practiced to avoid risk for infection
15.03.2021: Patient was tensed about his disease condition. To make him relax psychological support was
advised. BP came to a stable level. Patient feels relaxed.
Patient was in far more better condition and advised to discharge on next day along with next follow up date for
dialysis
Health Education:
Dietary Changes:
1. Intake less amount of sodium rich food, avoid salt.
2. Eat season foods with fresh herbs, garlic, onion and sodium free spice blend instead of salt.
3. Eat less meat, yogurt.
4. Don’t practice smoking, don’t take alcohol
5. Eat medicines properly at time.
Other Changes:
1. Get plenty of rest and sleep. Don’t take stress.
2. Exercise daily
3. Weight yourself daily at the same time of the day
4. Take your medicine exactly as directed
5. Keep all medical appointments
6. Go for dialysis as per the date given
Follow-up Care:
1. Regularly maintain check up for monitoring any abnormality
2. Go to your doctor if having
- Trouble eating, loss of appetite
- Little or no urine output
- Trouble breathing
- Fever
- Blood in urine
- Vomiting, nausea
- Swellings of legs and hands
Conclusion:
I started taking history of the patient with diagnosis of CKD. It is a very dangerous disease. If not managed
carefully can become progressive. Therefore, it is up to professional health care providers to ensure every care
is given to slow down the disease process. I also maintained a nursing care plan to his disease. I also observed
him about his medications, reports, treatment for preparation of my case presentation. I also have given health
education to the patient about the diets to be followed at home. There is no curable treatment for CKD but
lifestyle modification can manage the disease satisfactorily.
