Jakarta - Chronic kidney disease ( CKD ) occurs when kidney function decline that occurred more than three months . As the name implies , the disease occurs chronic meaning slowly and may not return to normal . CKD is common for elderly people because the older a person , the more his kidney function decline .
Nevertheless, according to the consulting physician Parlindungan Siregar renal hypertension , kidney disease can also occur in children . However , the cause of chronic decline in renal function in children is not the same as in adults .
If the adults are affected by the decline in renal function physiology . While in children , the anatomy or structure of organs that influence was . Anatomical abnormalities in children as a function of the valve does not normally lead to damage to the kidneys ureters .
" Ureteral valve function is to prevent reflux of urine or behind it issued to the kidneys . Nah , if it is not functioning properly , then most of the urine will return to the kidney , " said Parlindungan in a healthcare discussion in Jakarta some time ago .
He explained that the kidneys normally play a role in filtering out toxins and residual substances in the blood , and remove it in the form of urine . Urine is excreted through the ureters and to prevent urine back into the kidneys reverse direction , there is a valve in the ureters which will close the channel towards the kidneys .
Unfortunately , because of anatomical abnormalities , valve function , there is no good , then the urine tends to return the kidney . The organ had to work extra toxins and substances in the urine that should have been excluded . If this process occurs many times in a long time , then renal child will experience a decline in function .
In addition, said Parlindungan , decreased kidney function can also be due to inflammation of the child or also known as nephritis . Nephritis in children is generally triggered by a strong hereditary factors .
