the Spanish society of Nephrology emphasizes the importance of prevention over the foreseeable increase in the kidney in the future

within the framework of the XLI National Congress of the society Spanish of Nephrology (SEN) which I took place on 15 October 18 in the Andalusian capital

-the chronic kidney disease (ERC) is caused by a set of patologías which are increasing in today’s society: high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity are some of them.

– in this regard, the SEN maintains the program “ together in Chronic Renal disease ” to share the efforts of detection and joint action in the management of the ERC with scientific societies of other specialtiessuch as cardiology, internal medicine, Neurology, Endocrinology, Diabetes and attention primary.

-the President of the SEN stresses the importance of taking action against the yatrogenia, the damage that can occur to the kidneys as a result of not proper use of drugs or diagnostic means in certain patientsa common cause of acute renal failure.

Seville, 2011-October The Nephrology, as much of the medical specialties, is facing various factors to address medium and long term: the ageing of the population and the current economic problems, which make the national system of health (SNS) see resentful.

These problems, says Dr. Alberto Martínez Castelao, President of the Spanish society of Nephrology (SEN) “ could do that we back to the starting point of 30 years if we do not on the table formulas more imaginative and participatory on all sides. The fundamental problem is the sustainability of the system ”.

Specifically, in the case of the Nephrology, alternative treatments, dialysis and transplantation, are very expensive procedures that consume substantial resources. Chronic kidney disease (ERC) is caused by a set of pathologies which are increasing in today’s society: high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity are some of them. For this reason, says Dr. Martinez Castelao, “ expected an increase of patients who may have kidney damage and efforts must be directed preferably to prevention, i.e. to avoid the causes of ERC. To this we dedicate a great part of our daily activity ”.

However, the President of the society States that “ must be prepared to assume that future with optimism and effectiveness and to proceed with the magnificent work undertaken for years. The Spanish Nephrologists have growing reputation in the national and international media, not only in the field of kidney transplantation, but in all the varied aspects of the Nephrology ”.

In this regard, the SEN has established close contacts with primary care doctors for years and has more recently made specific and differentiated programmes with other specialties to precociously detect the ERC and vascular damage that it can be derived. “ Are carrying out a program that we call “ together in Chronic Renal disease ”, with the help of the pharmaceutical industry, to coordinate the efforts of detection and joint action in the management of the ERC with the societies of Cardiology, internal medicine, Neurology, Endocrinology, Diabetes and primary care ”.

The continuous yatrogenia remain a cause of acute renal failure

Acute renal failure has very different causes and can occur within own hospitals, due to conditions or factors that favor its presence in complicated patients with risk factors or sick clinics that are referred from primary care or other specialties.

“ When other doctors detected a kidney problem, in general are in immediate contact with your respective area nephrology services. Depending on the complexity of each case, these patients may require to be referred to Nephrology or handled jointly with other specialists ”, points out Dr. Martinez Castelao. It is the case, for example, of patients admitted in the units of intensive care, requiring a very complex management and in which the nephrologist has to act as support for the patient.

“, However, ”, explains the expert, “ a particularly important aspect is that of the yatrogenia, i.e., the damage that can occur to the kidneys as a result of the use appropriate non-drugs or media Diagnostics in certain patients. This is a chapter in which we insist in the document of consensus between SEN and society Spanish medicine of family and community (SEMFYC), but remains highly topical and that not we cannot lower our guard ever, because continuing to be a cause frequent acute renal failure ”.

Studies NEPHRON and FORESEE

In the framework of the XLI Congress the SEN held on 16-19 October in Seville, Dr. Martinez Castelao refers to two investigations currently underway in the area of the Nephrology: NEPHRON projects and anticipate.

“ The project NEPHRON is a very important study by its dimension in the number of patients included and its duration, which is why we will soon have relevant conclusions in the broad field of the prevention of arteriosclerosis in you patient with ERC ”, said the President of the SEN.

The project FORESEE consists in the formation of the nephrologist in imaging techniques and ultrasound, these apply to the detection of diseases like arteriosclerosis and others in which the kidneys are involved. According to Dr. Martinez Castelao, is of “ an also a long-term project, which will have as a sequel to two courses of University expert in imaging techniques, that are going to develop in two successive stages in the UDETMA of the University of Lleida and the Hospital Ramón y Cajal in Madrid and the University of Alcaládedicated to imaging techniques in the detection of arteriosclerosis and interventional nephrology, respectively – as problems with vascular access – or kidney biopsy.

new techniques for prevention of breast cancer

The novelty of these days was to offer a range of complementary activities that help in the treatment and prevention of the disease in one space. One of the main activities was the self-examination, but they also gained prominence other techniques that are being used even in some hospitals as the coaching or seminars on nutrition.

The inauguration was attended by Mrs. Patricia flowers Cerdán, Vice-Counsellor of health assistance of the community of Madrid and Don Andrés González Navarro, Coordinator Regional of the cancer of the community of Madrid, who supported the initiative with his speech and made the first visit to the space Pink Energy.

Workshops

The most important and most visited of Pink Energy space workshop was in the area of self-examination, where doctors and nurses from the Madrid group of hospitals numerous consultations were held in which taught many women to take care of themselves through self-examination. It’s the best method for early detection of breast cancer, but however it is still a pending subject for many women in the world. The figures show: several studies have found that only 3% of Spanish women practice self-examination properly (source: FEFOC). The existence of an early diagnosis of breast cancer helps to fight this terrible disease, which destroys the lives of more than 400,000 women annually around the world.

Dr. Lucas Minig, ginecólogo-oncólogo of the medical team that participated in these seminars says: “ in recent years there have been great advances in breast cancer: been aware to the population and have come more often to the doctor for a self-examination and the disease has been detected earlywhich resulted in a higher cure rate for breast cancer. Medical science has advanced significantly and today we can determine the genetic and molecular alterations in every patient in particular, with which we can guide them and we can try them to better ”

workshop of Tai chi was also well received:, attendees learned movements and postures to practice to achieve a better balance with oneself and the energy.

Also the coaching is becoming an effective measure when dealing with life and this disease in a positive way.

“ From the coaching, what we do is to be practical and teach people how to generate an attitude positive to achieve its objectives. A negative attitude always favours the disease. We must examine our behaviors and convert them into values and attitudes that help us to achieve our goals ”-Fernando del Corral, Coacher.

Attendees were also able to enjoy the area of healthy cuisine where could take note of the advice of our nutritionist to follow a healthy diet, “ is important to have an appropriate weight to the possibility of suffering from breast cancer. To do so, must avoid eating fat: dairy diminish, lean meats, sausages such as the cold cut … easily digestible foods that provide us with proteins but not lipid ”-Isabel Higuera, dietitian and nutritionist.
