KIDNEY DISEASES : TYPES, CAUSES, AND PREVENTION by Iwu Ifeanyi Ola

A kidney is either of the pair of organs responsible for the excretion of nitrogenous wastes, principally urea,  from the blood. It is situated at the back of the abdomen below the diaphragm. It looks like a bean seed, at least that is what we are told. You can see for yourself when next you're at the butcher's. The active units of the kidney are the nephrons.

Kidney disease is one of the major causes of death in the world today. In Nigeria, it is dubbed along side heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer as  major NCDs (Non Communicable Disorders). Kidney disease has also been reported to be present at birth (CONGENITAL KIDNEY DISEASE). But beyond this, we are the architect and masterminds of the kind of body we want whether healthy or otherwise.

Recent Medigist: The latest in medicine

The Google Glass
Google Glass: New technology, newer methods, safer surgery, better life!

A lot happened in the medical world over the past few days. Surgeries were performed, lives were saved, researches were carried out, new methods and techniques were discovered and implemented, new administrations were set, old issues were resolved, industrial actions were embarked on, and much more. We may not be able to give you all the gist that went on in the medical community recently yet(which we greatly regret), but for now let's pacify you with the headlines that made the rounds in the health sections of many newspapers.

DOCTORS IN UCH PERFORM BRAIN SURGERY ON WOMAN WHILE AWAKE

A popular picture of Nigerian medical doctors/ surgeons at work, parody or is this the situation in reality?
 

While the Nigerian medical system continues to be plagued by incessant industrial actions, insufficient funding, inefficient equipment and poor enumeration... While doctors, surgeons, pharmacists, nurses, lab technicians and other medical practitioners in the Giant of Africa continue to get fed up with the situation and migrate overseas for greener pastures...
