What Complications Of Kidney Failure Will Occur

If kidney failure does not get timely and effective treatment, complications of renal failure will happen. Many people know nothing about this disease. Here we will introduce you something to help you know your disease well.

With kidney failure, patients may experience the following complications:

1. Neurological symptoms

Neurological symptoms are the major signs of uremia. In the early stage of uremia, patients often have discomforts like dizziness, headache, fatigue, poor memories. With the progression of disease, patients will have dysphoria, muscle tremor and muscle cramp. Finally, people will have apathia, lethargy and coma.

2. Digestive system symptoms

The early symptom of digestive system problem is poor appetite or indigestion. In serious case, patients will have anorexia, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. This is because urease in intestinal tract resolves urea into ammonia and then the ammonia will stimulate the gastrointestinal mucous membrane. In this condition, inflammation and small ulcers will occur. Digestive system problem is related to this medical condition. Patients will experience gastrointestinal bleeding. In addition, nausea and vomiting is also related to central nervous system dysfunction.

3. Cardiovascular system symptoms

Patients will experience heart failure, arrhythmia and myocardial damage due to renal hypertension, acidosis, hyperkalemia, fluid-sodium retention, anemia and toxic substances.

4. Skin problem

Skin itchy is the most common symptom in uremia patients. This is because the toxic products will stimulate the skin receptor. Also, some people think that skin itchiness is related to secondary hyperparathyoidism. Apart from itchy skin, patients will also have dried skin, abnormal color skin.

5. Respiratory system symptom

With acidosis, patients will have slow and deep breath. The breath exhaled by kidney failure patients is urine smell. When bacteria breaks down, urea in saliva forms ammonia. Then, the smell of urine from the mouth will occur. In severe case, patients will have pulmonary edema. Pulmonary edema is related to heart failure, hypoproteinemia and sodium-water retention.

The treatment for kidney failure is the combination of western medicines and Chinese medicines. It not only improves micro-circulation of kidneys to alleviate renal ischemia and hypoxia, but also repair injured kidney tissues and protect residual kidney tissues. This provides a stable and favorable environment of restoring kidney damage to delay the disease into uremia. More importantly, it can effectively protect residual kidney nephrons, improve life quality and prolong your life span.
