Beware Of Hidden Symptoms Of Kidney Failure

Kidney failure is a manifestation of renal failure. When renal failure occurs, people often only see its direct symptoms, while ignoring the invisible symptoms. So, what are the hidden symptoms of kidney failure? How to treat kidney failure?

Invisible symptoms of kidney failure

1. Anemia: Renal failure leads to a decrease in erythropoietin, and the patient will have symptoms of anemia such as fatigue.

2. Fractures: Renal failure leads to a decrease in the production of active vitamin D3 regulates calcium and phosphorus metabolism, and patients are prone to fractures.

3. Hypoglycemia: In renal failure, when the kidneys cannot effectively inactivate insulin in the body, some diabetic patients with originally high blood sugar will experience symptoms of hypoglycemia.

4. "Feminization" of men: When kidney failure occurs, the kidneys cannot inactivate estrogen in the body, and many male patients will experience feminization symptoms such as breast enlargement and body hair loss.

5. Nosebleeds: Renal failure leads to decreased coagulation function of the body, causing frequent nosebleeds in patients.

6. Heart failure: Toxins and acidosis in patients with renal failure inhibit the contraction and relaxation of myocardial cells and induce heart failure.

7. Uremic encephalopathy: When renal failure occurs, the toxicity in the body cannot be eliminated, resulting in damage to the central nervous system, resulting in auditory hallucinations, convulsions, epilepsy, aphasia, and other symptoms.

Treatment and Nursing of Kidney Failure

1. treatment for the cause

To treat the cause of renal failures, such as insufficient blood supply or blood loss, the patient will be given to replace the lost body fluids and water; if there is an infection, further treatment will be given to the infection.

2. hemodialysis (kidney dialysis)

Because the kidneys have lost their function, doctors will temporarily use dialysis treatment (commonly known as dialysis) to help remove toxins and wastes from the body; if patients with acute renal failure do not receive appropriate treatment or cannot be controlled, the disease will evolve from acute to acute. When chronic renal failure occurs, uremia may develop into anuria and life-long dialysis is necessary.

3. diet therapy

a. Restriction of protein: For patients without dialysis, the kidneys cannot excrete the wastes produced by protein metabolism, which makes renal failure more serious. Therefore, it is recommended to reduce the intake of protein; Note that kidney dialysis, will cause the loss of protein in the body, so you must follow the advice of a nutritionist to maintain your body's needs.

b. Restrict sodium intake: Because salt contains high sodium content, if there is too much sodium in the body of patients with renal failure, it will cause the retention of water in the body, thereby causing cardiopulmonary failure and aggravating renal failure. But do not use low-sodium salts, because low-sodium salts contain high potassium ions

c. Limit the intake of potassium: The accumulation of potassium in the body can cause muscle weakness, and in severe cases, it can cause irregular heart rate and lead to heart failure.

d. Limit the intake of phosphorus: Because too much phosphorus in the body will cause the loss of calcium, doctors will use drugs to help control the level of phosphorus in the blood and prevent osteoporosis.

e. Water intake: If you take in too much water and the kidneys cannot remove it, edema or heart and lung failure will occur. Therefore, water control is a very important issue. The amount of water excluded determines the amount of water intake. Generally, 500-750c.c is added to the urine volume of the previous day.

What are kidney failure tests?

Early detection and diagnosis of renal failure are of great significance to the early detection and early treatment of renal failure, which can reduce some unnecessary troubles for patients and make the disease controllable. What are kidney failure tests? In addition to the routine blood and urine routines, there are the following points in renal failure: 1. For urine examination, this aspect of the test, the following data can usually be obtained.

What are kidney failure tests? In addition to normal blood and urine cases, renal failure also has the following points:

1. Urine examination, for this aspect of the test, can usually be judged by the following data. Oliguria, urine volume ≤17ml/h or <400ml/d, urine specific gravity is low, <1.014 or even fixed at about 1.010, urine is acidic, urine protein stability is + to +++, and thick particles can be seen in microscopic examination of urine heavy residue Casts, a small number of red and white blood cells, these are good interpretations of renal failure.

Second, azotemia, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine increased. This is also a step in the detection of renal failure, but azotemia cannot be used as a diagnostic basis alone, because urea nitrogen can also increase in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding due to renal function. Increased serum creatinine in patients with renal failure, blood urea nitrogen/serum creatinine ≤ 10 is the main purpose of diagnosis. In addition, urine/blood urea <15 (usually urine urea 200-600 mmol/24h, urine/blood urea >20) and urine/serum creatinine ≤10 are also diagnostic.

3. Blood test, under normal circumstances, we need to know that red blood cells and hemoglobin are falling, white blood cells are increased, and platelets are decreased. Blood potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus increased, blood sodium usually or slightly decreased, blood calcium decreased, and carbon dioxide synergy also decreased.

4. The quantity of urine sodium is more than 30mmol/l. The understanding of this aspect is also essential, and the fractional excretion of sodium (fena) is determined, which has a certain significance for the etiology.

5. Determination of the cleaning rate of pure water. Under normal circumstances, this method is helpful for early diagnosis. This point needs to be understood by everyone. Pure water removal rate = urine volume (1 hour) (1-urine osmotic pressure/blood osmotic pressure), its usual value is -30, the larger the back value, the better the renal function. The closer it is to 0, the more severe the kidney function. -25~-30 indicates that the renal function has begun to change. -25 to -15 indicates mild to moderate damage to renal function. -15 to 0 indicates severe damage to renal function.

What is the point of treating kidney failure?

Kidney failure treatment points 1, control high blood pressure

Clinical investigations show that the reason for the high recurrence rate in patients with renal failure is mainly because the condition of hypertension is difficult to control. Therefore, in the process of treating chronic renal failure, patients should also control hypertension through drug treatment, so as to avoid an increase in blood pressure and affect the treatment. For patients with sudden deterioration of renal function in the early stage, dopamine and prostaglandin E1 can be tried; for resistant hypertension, oral longoxidine, intravenous infusion of phentolamine, or sodium nitroprusside can be used; for volumetric hypertension, and heart failure, Dialysis should be timely. Be careful not to lower blood pressure too fast or make blood pressure too low, it should be controlled at about 16.0/11.3kPa (120/85mmHg).

The second point of treatment for kidney failure is toxin removal treatment

Patients with renal failure will accumulate some toxins in the body during the long-term disease process, which is an adverse factor that seriously interferes with the effect of treatment. After some patients get sick, toxins accumulate in the body too much, which brings great harm to the treatment of the disease. For mild patients, oral aldehyde-oxygen starch, oral dialysis salt, Niaoduqing, or Shenshuining can be used; some patients use mannitol saline preparations or traditional Chinese medicine enema; end-stage renal failure requires replacement therapy (dialysis or kidney transplantation).

The main points of kidney failure treatment! In the process of treating renal failure at ordinary times, we must actively implement the above two treatment points, which are particularly helpful to obtain the best treatment effect. Renal failure patients can also be good at giving play to the therapeutic effect of kidney disease remedies, but they must choose reliable traditional Chinese medicine remedies, and do not believe in advertising.
