Is Weakness A Sign Of Uremia

Is weakness a sign of uremia? Yes, body weakness is a common symptom from kidney disease. Thus, once you feel extremely weak, you should go to hospital for check up to see if there is something wrong with your kidneys.

Here I give you a patient story.

This patient is 33 years old. Last year, he felt very weak so he went to hospital for check up. The report showed his creatinine level was 194umol/L and uric acid level was 590umol/L. He was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure. His doctor prescribed him some medications to protect his kidneys. After 20 days of hospitalization life, abnormal levels came back to normal. He left the hospital and stopped taking medications.

One month later, he experienced weakness again. He went to hospital for a review. The result showed that his creatinine level elevated again. At this time, he did not stay in hospital for treatment. He just took some medications as before. When he felt better, he stopped the medications.

His condition was not good. Apart from fatigue, he also suffered from dizziness and nausea. His medical reports showed creatinine level 909umol/L. The doctor told him it was in uremia stage and suggested him to take dialysis treatment. From then on, he began dialysis and also took some medications to cooperate the treatment. Dialysis was done twice a week but he did not see any hope from it.

With one of patients’ introduction, he came to our hospital-Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital.

Dialysis made his creatinine reduced to some extent. When he came to our hospital, his creatinine level was 561umol/L. But dialysis can not treat kidney disease from the root.

If you want to recover renal function from the root, you need to discharge toxins from your body.

After expert consultant, doctor li decided to reduce dialysis times to once a week from twice a week and made some adjustment for his medication. The treatment we gave him included oral Chinese medicine soup, Medicated Foot Bath, Medicated Bath, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Mai Kang Mixture. It is a systematic Chinese medicine therapy for kidney disease. The active ingredients in Chinese medicines can expand blood vessels and improve blood circulation so as to help excrete toxins out.

After a period of treatment, his creatinine level was reduced to 398umol/L. Also his weakness was relieved greatly. He looks very energetic.

From his case, we can see that it is very important to take a correct treatment. Kidney disease belongs to a chronic disease. When kidneys are in the stage of kidney failure, the key point is to protect residual kidney function and cleanse toxins from your blood. Only in this way can a good blood environment is provided to recover renal function.
