Many patients will have various symptoms and feel uncomfortable after having kidney disease. I have summarized the possible reasons for these symptoms. You can compare and identify them. If the symptoms are severe, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time!
1, edema
a. Common causes of edema are , urinary protein , and blood albumin is reduced due to too much urinary protein
b. Poor glomerular filtration function is a drainage disorder caused by extreme renal failure
c. Hypothyroid dysfunction
d. Edema caused by drugs, such as "horizontal" antihypertensive drugs, which can cause edema in the ankle
e., heart failure can also cause edema
Note: The face caused by hormones is fat, not swelling.
2. Gastrointestinal reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite
is commonly caused by the increase of various toxins in the body after renal failure, especially the increase of urea nitrogen. Of course, some patients have stomach problems and . After taking various medicines, they will also experience the above discomfort when the stomach is irritated.
3, headache, dizziness
Pay attention to changes in blood pressure. When blood pressure is too high, headache and dizziness can exist at the same time. When malignant hypertension occurs, it may be accompanied by blurred vision, and when blood pressure is low, dizziness will only occur. If you have headaches and dizziness, you need to measure your blood pressure as soon as possible.
4, limb pain
, inexplicably, the arm and leg pain , pay attention to monitoring the electrolyte, it may be calcium deficiency. If the blood test shows that calcium is normal, it may be because there is no lack of calcium in the blood, but the bones and tissues are deficient, and pain in the limbs will occur. At this time, if renal function has been damaged, parathyroid hormone should also be checked and active vitamin D should be selected according to the situation to promote calcium absorption.
5, cramps
Muscle twitching, especially when it is prone to occur at night, which may be calcium deficiency, just like on the 4th.
6, skin itching
is common in the increase of phosphorus ions and the increase of macromolecular toxins during renal failure.
7, ends of limbs, lips, and tongue tip numbness
When numbness of fingers and toes, lips, and tongue tips occur, hyperkalemia may occur, and you need to go to the hospital for examination of electrolytes immediately.
8, abdominal distension, fatigue, palpitations
When abdominal distension, fatigue, and palpitations occur at the same time, electrolytes should be checked. It may be a manifestation of hypokalemia . If any or more of the above discomforts occur, electrolytes should be checked routinely.
9. Difficulty in breathing
When you experience dyspnea, accompanied by or without coughing, it will worsen after lying flat, and the upright seat will be reduced. This is a manifestation of heart failure. You must keep sitting upright and go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
10. The skin becomes dark and shiny. After suffering from kidney disease, the skin gradually becomes darker and loses its luster. This is because the toxins are too high deposited on the skin. Combining anemia will aggravate this manifestation.
11, joint pain
arthralgia, especially the face joints, redness, swelling, heat pain, which may be a gout attack. In addition to symptomatic treatment, it is necessary to check the blood uric acid value .
12, nocturnal urination increases, the number or amount of night urine is often caused by impaired renal tubular function. Men can also experience prostate problems.
13. Low back pain
0 Most of the cases of low back pain or low back discomfort have no relationship with the kidneys, because there is no pain and nerve distribution inside the kidneys, so many times kidney disease is a mute disease, which is not painful or itchy. When waist discomfort occurs, most of them have problems with the waist muscles or lumbar spine. Lumbar discomfort related to the kidney is more common in polycystic kidney , kidney tumors, hydronephrosis , and kidney stones .
14, there are many foams in urine
, urine foams are common in urine protein, urine sugar , urinary tract infection , etc.
