Abstract:

Renal epidemiology has moved from a focus on patients treated with renal replacement therapy using data from renal registries, to a much broader view of acute and chronic kidney disease. A review of essential epidemiological concepts and principles is followed by discussion of the epidemiology of different types of kidney disease: acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease. The chapter concludes with a section on future challenges and potential solutions.

Abstract:

Acute heart failure is defined as the rapid development or change of symptoms and signs of heart failure that requires urgent medical attention and usually hospitalization. Acute heart failure is the first reason for hospital admission in individuals aged 65 or more and accounts for nearly 70% of the total health care expenditure for heart failure. It is characterized by an adverse prognosis, with an in-hospital mortality rate of 4-7%, a 2-3-month post-discharge mortality of 7-11%, and a 2-3-month readmission rate of 25-30%. The majority of patients have a previous history of heart failure and

Abstract:

A cerebrovascular accident or stroke is an acute disease of blood vessels of the brain. Ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke, estimated to be about 87% of all strokes. Ten percent are estimated to be intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke (ICH), and 3% subarachnoid hemorrhagic stroke (SAH). Stroke remains the fourth leading cause of death in the United States in 2012, only surpassed by diseases of the heart, cancer, and chronic lower respiratory diseases. Stroke is the 2nd leading cause of death worldwide. This chapter examines the epidemiology and impact of stroke in the United States

Abstract:

The lack of a precise biochemical definition of acute kidney injury (AKI) resulted in at least 35 definitions in the medical literature, which gave rise to a wide variation in reported incidence and clinical significance of AKI, impeded a meaningful comparison of studies.The first part of this chapter describes and discusses different definitions and classification systems of AKI. Patient outcome and the need for renal replacement therapy are directly related to the severity of AKI, an observation that supports the use of a categorical staging system rather than a simple binary descriptor.

Abstract:

The spectrum of acute kidney injury (AKI) encountered in the hospitals of the tropical zone countries is different from that seen in the non-tropical climate countries, most of which are high-income countries. The difference is explained in large part by the influence of environment on the epidemiology of human disease. The key features of geographic regions falling in the tropical zones are climatic, that is, high temperatures and absence of winter frost, and economic, that is, lower levels of income. The causes and presentation of tropical AKI reflect these prevailing cultural, socioeconomic
