Bakit Nakakamatay ang Mpox?

Karamihan ng kaso ng Mpox ay mild at gumagaling naman.

Pero delikado ito para sa:
• Mga taong mahina ang immune system (tulad ng may HIV, cancer, o umiinom ng immunosuppressants)
• Mga bata, lalo na under 8 years old
• Mga buntis

⸻

⚠️ Mga Dahilan Kung Bakit Maaaring Ikamatay ang Mpox:

1. Malalang Impeksyon at Pinsala sa Organs
– Kapag kumalat ang virus sa loob ng katawan, maaaring tamaan ang baga, atay, o utak.

2. Secondary Bacterial Infection
– Pwedeng pasukin ng bacteria ang mga sugat, at magdulot ng sepsis (matinding impeksyon sa dugo).

3. Problema sa Paghinga
– Kapag may mga lesions sa loob ng lalamunan o baga, pwedeng mahirapang huminga o magkaroon ng pneumonia.

4. Encephalitis (Pamamaga ng Utak)
– Rare pero seryoso. Maaaring magdulot ng seizures, coma, o kamatayan.

5. Matinding Pagkadehydrated o Malnutrition
– Kapag masakit ang lalamunan o bibig dahil sa mga lesions, nahihirapan kumain o uminom, lalo na ang mga bata.

⸻

📊 Gaano Kadalas ang Namamatay?

• Clade I (Central Africa strain) – hanggang 10% fatality rate
• Clade II (West Africa strain) – mas mild, less than 1% fatality

Ang karamihan sa mga kaso ngayon ay mula sa Clade II, pero panganib pa rin ito sa mga high-risk na pasyente.

📋 Facts About CKD & Ketoanalogues (Part 02) 📋

Did you know that 1 out of 10 individuals is affected by Chronic Kidney Diseases (CKD)?🤔 A person can lose as much as 90% of their kidney function before experiencing any sign!

On the other hand, the good news is that simple laboratory tests can detect - through blood pressure check, urine albumin analysis, and serum creatinine. Feel free to check with your hospitals or local medical laboratory test providers for such lab-test services.🫘

Here are some "Potential Benefits of Ketpanalogues when Combined with Low Protein Diet** ":

✅ Slows down Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline
✅ Decrease serum creatinine and BUN levels
✅ Lower oxidative stress
✅ Decrease metabolic acidosis
✅ Decrease insulin resistance
✅ Improve blood pressure
✅ Reduced proteinuria
✅ Delayed start of dialysis
✅ Better phosphorus and parathyroid hormone level management

How to Keep the Kidneys Healthy

✅ Keep fit, be active
✅ Eat a healthy diet and avoid excessive salt
✅ Check and control blood pressure and blood sugar
✅ Don't smoke
✅ Take over-the-counter medications with caution
✅ Take appropriate amount of fluids
✅ A kidney function test may be requested if any of the high risk factors are present: Diabetes, Hypertension, Obesity, and a Family History of Kidney Disease

We hope that this information was able to help you understand more about CKD, protein, and ketoanalogues. Ask your doctor about it! 💚

On the other hand, the good news is that simple laboratory tests can detect - through blood pressure check, urine albumin analysis, and serum creatinine. Feel free to check with your hospitals or local medical laboratory test providers for such lab-test services.🫘

Here are some "Facts about CKD* " in bite-sized bullet forms for your additional information:

✅ The 2 main causes of CKD are diabetes and high blood pressure
✅ Early detection can help prevent the progression of kidney disease to kidney failure
✅ Heart disease is the major cause of death for all people with CKD
✅ Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best estimate of kidney function
✅ Hypertension causes CKD and CKD causes hypertension
✅ Persistent proteinuria is indicative that CKD is present

Protein Restriction and CKD **

✅ A low protein diet allows 0.55-0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight and is recommended for stages 3-5 CKD.
✅ A very low protein diet restricts protein intake to 0.28-0.43 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight and is combined with ketoanalogues With ketoanalogues, protein intake should reach 0.55-0.6 gram protein per kilogram body weight.
✅ Ketoanalogues help to prevent protein wasting and deficiencies.
