Session 2 :  Stages of kidney diseases 

There are 5 stages of kidney diseases 

1. Stage 1 with normal or high GFR (GFR > 90 mL/min)
2. Stage 2 Mild CKD (GFR = 60-89 mL/min)
3. Stage 3A Moderate CKD (GFR = 45-59 mL/min)
4. Stage 3B Moderate CKD (GFR = 30-44 mL/min)
5. Stage 4 Severe CKD (GFR = 15-29 mL/min)
6. Stage 5 End Stage CKD (GFR <15 mL/min)

Session 3 : Kidney transplantation

A kidney transplant is a surgery to place a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor into a person whose kidneys no longer function properly. The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located on each side of the spine just below the rib cage. Each is about the size of a fist.

Session 4 : Technological Advancements in Nephrology

With stem cell research, it will be possible to customise a new kidney based on genetic makeup which will be grown with the help of the tissue of each patient. This could be a huge breakthrough and could possibly contribute dominantly to the cases of polycystic kidney diseases. This is a long shot but for now, only rudimentary stem cells can be replicated. 

Other than this, the research also indicates that it has new advances in shunt technology. Shunt in a simple manner refers to the hollow tube surgically placed inside the brain or in the spine to help drain excessive cerebrospinal and redirect it to some other place in the body where it can be absorbed.

Session 5 : Cardiovascular Impacts of Kidney Diseases

cardiovascular disease is a frequent complication of renal disease. Chronic kidney disease promotes hypertension and dyslipidemia, which in turn can contribute to the progression of renal failure. Furthermore, diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of renal failure in developed countries.

Session 6 : Kidney and Bladder Stones 

Kidney and bladder stones are hard objects in the urinary tract made up of millions of tiny crystals. Kidney stones, which are much more common than bladder stones, can form when the body's system for filtering urine becomes too concentrated.

Session 7 : Dialysis 

Dialysis is a procedure to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys stop working properly. It often involves diverting blood to a machine to be cleaned.

Session 8 : Kidney Diseases 

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs. Each kidney is about the size of a fist. Your kidneys filter extra water and wastes out of your blood and make urine. Kidney disease means your kidneys are damaged and can’t filter blood the way they should. You are at greater risk for kidney disease if you have diabetes or high blood pressure. If you experience kidney failure, treatments include kidney transplant or dialysis. Other kidney problems include acute kidney injury, kidney cysts, kidney stones, and kidney infections.

Session 9 : Hereditary Kidney Disorder 

The most common hereditary kidney disease is autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). People with ADPKD form cysts on their kidneys. The cysts fill with fluid and damage their kidneys over time. Doctors can diagnose ADPKD before the age of 40, at a time kidney function measurement appears normal.
