Symptoms of chronic renal failure

Everyone wants to have a healthy body, but the kidney is the most important organ for everyone, and chronic renal failure initially manifests itself in loss of appetite, confusion, nausea, high blood pressure, and love of sleep. Some people also have symptoms of nose bleeding. Chronic renal failure will affect various organs and cause lesions. The function of the kidney will also slowly decline, and may eventually lead to the occurrence of uremia and complete loss of kidney function.

For people with chronic renal failure, diet is of course the most important thing. They should eat eggs, milk, meat and other foods. The daily salt intake should be reduced. Eating too much may cause high blood pressure. Pay attention to your diet, do not smoke or drink, and do not eat spicy, sour, raw, cold or irritating foods.

Symptoms of chronic renal failure:

1. Compensatory renal function

Although the renal reserve capacity has been lost at this time, the ability to excrete metabolic products and regulate water, electrolytes and acid-base balance is still good, and the patient has no special feelings; during renal function tests, blood creatinine and blood urea nitrogen are usually normal or sometimes slightly elevated.

2. Azotemia stage

Patients experience nocturia or polyuria, varying degrees of anemia, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, and mild general discomfort. In severe cases, vomiting and diarrhea may also occur.

3. Renal failure stage

Patients may have obvious anemia and gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and decreased appetite; they may also have symptoms such as fatigue, inattention, and lack of energy.

4. Uremia stage

At this time, the patient shows symptoms of systemic organ failure, such as increased blood pressure, palpitations, chest tightness, nausea, vomiting, irritability, inability to lie flat, difficulty breathing, severe anemia, convulsions, and in severe cases, coma. The patient needs to rely on dialysis to maintain life and may often die suddenly due to cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, and heart failure.

Renal failure may sometimes be accompanied by fainting and ischemia. If these symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital for examination in time, cooperate with the doctor's treatment, do dialysis, and consider kidney transplantation if conditions permit. You should live a regular life, eat on time, and maintain a good mood.
