Treatment of uremia

Uremia is a disease that we often hear about in our lives. The incidence of this disease is high. Patients with uremia will become weaker because their kidney function will gradually fail. Patients with uremia will experience some obvious symptoms when they are ill, such as nausea, diarrhea, and insomnia. Everyone should understand this knowledge.

Regarding the treatment of uremia, although uremia is a fatal disease, it cannot be said that there is no way to treat this disease. The methods of treating uremia are also helpful in current medical technology.

Uremia actually refers to the inability of the human body to produce urine through the kidneys to excrete metabolic waste and excess water from the body, causing poisoning. Modern medicine believes that uremia is a series of complex syndromes caused by the disorder of biochemical processes in the body after the loss of renal function. Rather than an independent disease, it is called renal failure syndrome or simply renal failure. The term was coined by Piorry and Heritor in 1840 after they described renal failure.

The causes of uremia include: chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis, renal tuberculosis, renal arteriosclerosis, urinary tract stones, prostate hypertrophy, bladder cancer, lupus erythematosus, diabetes, etc.

1. Western Medicine

Conservative treatment: Conservative treatment can be used in the decompensated stage of chronic renal failure to delay the progression of the disease.

1. Increasing the intake of iron and folic acid is beneficial to improving renal anemia. Erythropoietin can be used if necessary.

1. Treat high blood pressure.

3. Use calcium ion antagonists, such as nitroglycerin.

4. Take adsorbents such as oxidized starch orally to reduce blood urea nitrogen.

5. Take calcium and vitamins orally to treat renal osteopathy.

Active treatment

Although uremia is a fatal disease, it is not incurable. For cases without predisposing factors, dialysis treatment may be considered when renal function is irreversible. Dialysis therapy includes oral, peritoneal, and hemodialysis (artificial kidney); oral dialysis therapy is only suitable for patients with mild uremia. In recent years, due to the widespread use of dialysis therapy, many patients with advanced uremia have survived for more than 5 years and maintained a certain level of labor force. Therefore, dialysis therapy is one of the effective methods for treating advanced uremia.

The above is some knowledge about the treatment of uremia. I believe that after reading it, you will have a better understanding of uremia. For diseases in life, whether during the illness or during treatment, patients must face it with a positive attitude, which will help the treatment.
