Kidney failure is a disease caused by people who usually do not maintain the kidneys well, resulting in kidney lesions or damage caused by a decrease in kidney function.
Clinically, kidney failure is acute and chronic, no matter which situation may lead to serious damage to the patient's body, if not treated in time, it may cause uremia.
Studies have found that from kidney failure to uremia, it will go through 5 stages, what aspects should be paid attention to when these stages?
1. Acute renal failure. When the patient's kidneys have a significant inflammatory reaction, the disease has progressed to a serious extent, which can cause acute renal failure.
Patients should go to regular hospitals in time for anti-infection treatment, such as the use of glucocorticoids to help the body remove germs and make the inflammation subside.
It should be noted that hormones may cause the infection to spread, and patients should avoid drug abuse so as not to cause aggravation of the disease.
2. Early stage of chronic renal failure. Chronic kidney failure can occur with long-term drug abuse or the effects of high blood pressure, hyperglycemia, and infection.
In the early stages, the patient does not develop obvious symptoms of discomfort, and after the disease is discovered, treatment is required according to the cause of the disease.
For example, chronic renal failure caused by drug abuse should be stopped in time; if it is caused by infection, patients should receive anti-infective treatment in time;
If it is caused by high blood pressure or high blood sugar, it should be treated with drugs that lower blood pressure or blood sugar under the guidance of a doctor. Chronic renal failure can also improve as long as the primary disease improves.
3. The advanced stage of chronic renal failure. The early stage of chronic renal failure does not cause patients to have obvious discomfort symptoms, so some patients cannot detect the disease in time, resulting in the progression of chronic renal failure.
At this stage, the patient's body has been seriously damaged, and complications such as anemia, hypertension, and acidosis have occurred.
In order to improve the condition, patients should go to the hospital in time, use drugs to replenish blood, lower blood pressure, improve acidosis, delay the rate of kidney failure, and help patients improve their quality of life under the guidance of doctors.
4. Chronic renal failure in the middle stage. Patients entering the middle of chronic renal failure will have more obvious symptoms. For example, increased blood pressure, foamy urine, physical weakness, increased creatinine, etc.
Patients need to undergo blood biochemical tests under the guidance of a doctor and, if necessary, preparation for hemodialysis.
If the condition is found to be further aggravated, it is necessary to pass dialysis treatment in time to reduce the damage to the body.
5. Uremia stage. Uremia is the end-stage of renal failure, so the patient's previous symptoms become more severe.
The patient's body toxins, metabolic waste, and water increase, and only through hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis treatment reduces the burden on the kidneys.
If it is possible to wait until the right kidney, the patient can be treated by kidney transplantation and obtain a longer survival time.
From renal failure to uremia, there are five stages: acute renal failure, early stage of chronic renal failure, advanced stage of chronic renal failure, middle stage of chronic renal failure, and stage of uremia.
There are different treatment methods at each stage, if the patient is found to be unwell, he must go to the hospital in time to receive examination, and then formulate a corresponding treatment plan according to the condition after the diagnosis.
