What are the complications of renal failure?

Nowadays, we need to bear a lot of pressure in life. If we don’t get enough rest for physical and mental fatigue, it will cause certain threats to the body over time, which requires our attention. There are many causes of renal failure. Fatigue-induced lesions, viral infections, and physical renal failure are very common, and we need to actively treat them. So, what are the complications of kidney failure?

Renal failure is a malignant disease. If it is not treated in time, many complications will occur, increasing damage to the body. Patients with renal failure will suffer from infection in the later stages, and their cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will also develop certain lesions, which require targeted treatment.

What are the complications of renal failure? 1. Infection is one of the most common and most serious complications of acute renal failure, and is more common in high-decomposition acute renal failure caused by severe trauma, burns, etc. 2. Complications of the cardiovascular system, including arrhythmia, heart failure, pericarditis, hypertension, etc. 3. Complications of the nervous system include headache, drowsiness, muscle cramps, coma, epilepsy, etc. Neurological complications are related to toxin retention in the body as well as water intoxication, electrolyte imbalance and acid-base imbalance.

4. Experts point out that digestive system complications manifest as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, vomiting blood or blood in the stool, etc. Bleeding is mostly caused by gastrointestinal mucosal erosion or stress ulcers. 5. Hematological complications: Due to the sharp decline in renal function, erythropoietin may be reduced, thus causing anemia, but most of them are not serious. In a few cases, there may be a bleeding tendency due to a decrease in coagulation factors. 6. Electrolyte imbalance and metabolic acidosis may lead to hyperkalemia, hyponatremia and severe acidosis, which are one of the most dangerous complications of acute renal failure. During the polyuria stage, the daily urine volume of kidney patients can reach 3000-5000ml. Due to the excretion of large amounts of water and electrolytes, dehydration, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, etc. may occur. If not replenished in time, kidney patients may die from severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.

The above content is an introduction to the complications of renal failure. I hope it can be of some help to you. In our lives, we need to understand more about the characteristics of renal failure, and when the disease occurs, we need to receive timely treatment to reduce the harm of the disease to the body.
