The three most common causes of CKD in the United States are diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and glomerulonephritis. Together these account for about 75% of the cases of CKD (37% for diabetes, 24% for hypertension, and 14% for glomerulonephritis).2 These are discussed in further detail below. 

Initiation factors initiate kidney damage and can be modified by drug therapy. Initiation factors include diabetes mellitus, hypertension, autoimmune disease, polycystic kidney disease, and drug toxicity.

In untreated women, the main risk factors for endometrial carcinoma are age, obesity, nulliparity, late menopause (and possibly early menarche), the Stein-Leventhal syndrome, exposure to exogenous estrogens, radiation, and certain systemic diseases, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypothyroidism, and arthritis (SED-14, 1451) (88). Certain of these risk factors indicate that an altered endocrine state with increased estrogen stimulation is a predisposing cause, and one might thus in theory expect estrogen treatment (and notably hormonal replacement therapy) to increase the risk (SEDA-22, 466). 

The contraindications to ephedrine are angle-closure glaucoma, patients anesthetized with cyclopropane or halothane, cases in which vasopressor drugs are contraindicated (e.g., thyrotoxicosis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension during pregnancy), or treatment with monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor therapy. 

Delirium occurred in a 69-year-old white man with a history of depression, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and atherosclerotic disease who was treated with intravenous gatifloxacin 400 mg/day (276). After the first dose of gatifloxacin he had numerous hallucinations and the symptoms got worse after each dose. After withdrawal no further hallucinations occurred. 

Because ADRs are more likely to occur in the very young and the elderly, lower drug dosages may be indicated at these two extremes of the human life span. The elderly are more likely to have diseases such as cancer, coronary heart disease, dementia, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and osteoporosis and may also have adverse nutritional reactions. Deficiencies in liver and kidney function can result in marked delay of drug detoxification and elimination. Constant review of established diagnoses and treatments is important to minimize the number of drugs administered, and care must be taken to determine whether other nutritional supplements and herbal products are being incorporated into self-treatment. 

In the United States, obesity has become an epidemic, with nearly 20% of adults classified as obese. Obesity is identified as a risk factor in a host of pathological conditions including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. The cause of obesity is quite simple in the vast majority of cases—more food is consumed than is needed, and the excess calories are stored as fat. 

Even though the mortality from coronary heart disease has declined recently, atherosclerosis and related vascular disorders still are the leading cause of death in the Western world. The etiology of this disease is multifactorial, with hyperlipidemia, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obesity being well-established risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis. Dietary fat affects plasma lipids, lipoproteins, and vascular inflammation and, thus, is linked to atherosclerosis. 

Risk factors for this adverse effect are pre-existing renal disease, age over 65 years, dehydration, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and a high infusion rate (SEDA-22, 345) (10,13,32,43,86,92). To minimize the risk of renal insufficiency, it has been suggested that immunoglobulin should be diluted with hypotonic fluid, that the infusion rate should be reduced, and that dosing intervals should be increased (89). Patients should be adequately hydrated and potent diuretics should be avoided (10).

Obesity plays significant role in the pathogenesis of a number of physical conditions (Lawrence and Kopelman 2004). These include diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary heart disease, some forms of cancer, gall bladder disease, respiratory disease, and osteoarthritis. In addition, being obese can lead to profound psychological disturbances and can have a major impact on social relationships and employment prospects. 

Perhaps the most satisfying hypothesis for the formation of atherosclerotic lesions is that of response to injury in which lesions are precipitated by some form of injury to endothelial cells. The injury may be caused by elevated plasma levels of LDL and modified LDL (oxidized LDL), free radicals (e.g., caused by cigarette smoking), diabetes mellitus, hypertension-induced shear stress, and other factors that lead to focal desquamation of endothelial cells such as elevated plasma homocysteine levels, genetic... 

Since diabetes mellitus is an insidious disorder, testing of asymptomatic patients may be desirable under certain conditions, including age 45 years or older obesity first-degree relatives of diabetics members of high-risk ethnic population (e.g.. Native American, Hispanic, African-American) women who have delivered an infant weighing more than 9 lb (4.08 kg) or have had gestational diabetes mellitus hypertension abnormal lipid studies recurring... 

Initiation factors are factors or conditions that directly initiate kidney damage, and are modifiable by pharmacologic therapy. These factors include diabetes mellitus, hypertension, autoimmune diseases, polycystic kidney disease, systemic infections, urinary tract infections, urinary stones, lower urinary tract obstructions, and drug toxicity. Since diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and glomerular diseases are respectively the first, second, and third most common causes for CKD in the U.S., the following discussion focuses on these three conditions. 

The most commonly reported causes of ESKD, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and glomerulonephritis account for about 80% of all kidney transplants (see Chap. 44). Patients with medical conditions such as unstable cardiac disease or recently diagnosed malignancy, for whom the risk of surgery or chronic immunosuppression would be greater than the risks associated with chronic dialysis, are excluded from consideration for transplantation. 

Because this drug contracts smooth muscle, it is contraindicated in patients with vascular disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or asthma. 

Iodine is an essential component of thyroid hormone either low or high intake may lead to thyroid disease. Currently, intake of seaweed, a low-calorie food containing sufficient calcium, potassium, iron and vegetable fibers, has been recommended for the prevention of ischemic heart diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, dys-hpidemia, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, metabofic syndrome and obesity, as well as for osteoporosis and iron-deficiency anemia (Mizukami et ai, 1993). Besides, salt has been iodized, and as a result, iodine intake has increased throughout the world (Zhao et ai, 1998).

Obesity is associated with a number of health risks, such as heart disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, gallbladder disease, and some types of cancer (Carey etal., 1997 Lamon-Fava eta/., 1996 Rimm eta/., 1995 Mokdad eta/., 2001). The importance of reducing body fat accumulation in the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases has been noted by many experiments and surveys. Clinical studies have suggested that weight loss in the range of 5-10% of initial weight can confer significant reductions in obesity-related disorders.
