Kidney disease

Analytical testing provides a lot of information which enables the origin and severity of the kidney disease to be established. A kidney biopsy allows a microscopic study that is often essential. Genetic testing also provides very important information.

Kidney disease

The kidneys benefit from a healthy diet, from a relatively high intake of water and from avoiding tobacco. Regular bowel and bladder movements are also essential. Constipation and delaying urination are both damaging to kidney function. Plain water without anything dissolved in it is necessary for good kidney function, apart from liquids such as milk and broth and drinks such as tea and coffee. The amount of urine a healthy person produces varies depending on how much water they drink, the air temperature, whether they are at rest or doing exercise, etc. A healthy adult would normally required 1 to 2 litres per day. Kidney function does not necessarily improve if excessive water is consumed.

Adult Sarcomas

Sarcomas are an uncommon type of cancer that account for only 1-2% of all tumours in adults. They also represent a complex entity, given that there are more than 70 types, with differences in terms of their diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Accordingly, sarcoma patients need to be assessed by multidisciplinary committees with vast experience in this disease.

Lymphoma

Haematological disease characterised by the growth of ganglia with or without an increase in the number of white blood cells in the blood. It may also be accompanied by weight loss, burning pain, excessive sweating or increased frequency of infections.

Lymphomas are a very diverse group of diseases within the field of oncology. The cancer cell of a lymphoma is the lymphocyte, the main cell in the patient’s immune system, the functions of which are defence against infections and tumour surveillance.

Lymphocytes, alongside other cells, form the population of white blood cells or leukocytes in the blood.  According to their function in the immune system, lymphocytes may be B, T or NK type. For this reason, the lymphomas that derive from them are also B, T and NK type.

Kidney disease

Kidney disease encompasses a wide range of conditions that compromise the normal functioning of the kidneys. Their main purpose is to purify the blood of different composites, regulate their composition of mineral salts and acidity and contribute to the normal formation and maintenance of bones. They also support the creation of red blood cells and regulate arterial pressure. Kidney disease is characterised by a change in the functions described: higher levels of urea in the blood, excessive potassium or phosphorus, excessive blood acidity, bone pain and anaemia.

Orbital tumours

A tumour is an abnormal growth of tissue. In the case of orbital tumours, this growth is located in the tissues around the eye, which may be muscles, bones, fat, the lacrimal gland, nerves and blood vessels. They are rare tumours of several different types that may appear at any age. Orbital tumours may be benign or malignant. Benign tumours may cause pain due to compressing or displacing the different structures in the eye socket. Malignant tumours, on the other hand, as well as spreading to neighbouring tissue, may produce metastasis in other unconnected organs or lymphatic nodules.

Kidney disease

There are four basic parts to treating renal insufficiency.

Controlling arterial pressure, if it is high; levels of urea; the balance of mineral salts (sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium); acidity and anaemia. Analytical testing provides a lot of information which enables the origin and severity of the kidney disease to be established.

A kidney biopsy allows a microscopic study that is often essential. Genetic testing also provides very important information.
