Renal Failure And Heart Attack

In renal failure, your kidney has almost lost its function or at least lost 50% function. In this case, these important organs have not worked effectively any more to regulate the balance of electrolytes and excrete excessive water and toxins out of your body. Renal failure affects many people worldwide. High blood pressure and diabetes are two leading factors for kidney disease. If they are not under control, they will gradually advance into renal failure. In fact, those with renal failure are actually likely to die from its complications caused by cardiovascular disease such as heart attack. Well, what is the connection between heart attack and renal failure?

1. Renal failure and heart attack: connection

Renal failure and heart attack have two common major risk factors-high blood pressure and diabetes. Both two major risk factors can damage blood vessels in the kidney, and prevent kidney from eliminating fluid from the body properly if they are not treated for a long time. When your kidneys have something wrong and water retention contributes to high blood pressure. In this case, high blood pressure causes more damage on blood vessels and high blood pressure will also burden your heart. In this way, vicious circle occurs.

Renal failure complications can also lead to heart attack. They include the following aspects.

※ Systemic inflammation

It is not only in one part of your body but has spread to your whole body and can lead to heart attack.

※ A long-term of anemia lead to heart attack.

Anemia is a common symptom in renal failure due to less red blood cells count. Prolonged anemia can cause the heart forming a left ventricular hypertrophy, which refers that the muscle on the left side of heart becomes thick abnormally. In this case, congestive heart failure presents.

Other complications of renal failure can also lead to other cardiovascular diseases except heart attack, such s as stroke.

2. Treatment for lowering heart attack risk

Even a mild decrease of kidney function can also put you at a high risk of heart attack and stroke. Because of the close connection between renal failure and heart attack, you should treat your renal failure to lower the risk of heart attack.
