Symptoms of renal insufficiency

There are many types of common diseases, but when it comes to disease treatment, the choice of method is very important. Before treating the disease, a comprehensive physical examination of the patient should be conducted. This will allow you to have a good understanding of the disease and know what method to choose when treating the disease. So what are the symptoms of renal insufficiency? Many people are not familiar with this disease.

Many people do not know what renal insufficiency is, so they do not know what method to choose when treating this disease. The symptoms of renal insufficiency also have different manifestations.

Symptoms of renal insufficiency:

Renal insufficiency can be divided into four stages:

First issue

Renal function reserve compensation period. Because the kidney has a large reserve compensatory capacity, although the renal function is reduced clinically, its ability to excrete metabolites and regulate water and electrolyte balance can still meet normal needs. There are no clinical symptoms, and renal function tests are also within the normal range or occasionally slightly higher.

Second issue

Renal insufficiency. The glomeruli have been severely damaged, 60%-75%. The kidneys have some difficulty excreting metabolic waste, and creatinine urea nitrogen may be high or exceed normal values. Patients may experience anemia, fatigue, weight loss, and difficulty concentrating. But it is often ignored. If there is dehydration, infection, bleeding, etc., obvious symptoms will soon appear.

Third issue

Renal failure stage. The kidney function has been severely damaged, 75%-95%, and cannot maintain the stability of the body's internal environment. The patient is prone to fatigue, weakness, inability to concentrate and other symptoms have worsened, anemia is obvious, nocturia increases, blood creatinine and urea nitrogen increase significantly, and acidosis is often present. This stage is also called the azotemia stage.

Fourth issue

Uremic stage or end-stage renal insufficiency. At this stage, glomerular damage has exceeded 95%, and there are serious clinical symptoms such as severe nausea, vomiting, oliguria, edema, malignant hypertension, severe anemia, itchy skin, and a foul smell of urine in the mouth.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the symptoms of renal insufficiency. The symptoms of such diseases are relatively obvious. However, it should be noted that such diseases must be treated in time after they occur, otherwise they will cause serious harm to all aspects of the patient's body, and the treatment is also very complicated in the fourth stage.
