What is uremia?

One of the main causes of uremia is high blood pressure. Research shows that 15% of patients with high blood pressure will directly turn to uremia. According to the statistics in 1998, patients with hypertension accounted for 10% of the total population, that is to say, there is one patient with hypertension in every 10 people, and one or five of them will become uremic patients. Kidney disease is the main cause of uremia, the final outcome of all chronic kidney disease will be this disease. Among them, chronic glomerulonephritis accounts for a large proportion. Among the diseases caused by chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic glomerulonephritis accounts for 55% and 7%.

The second cause of uremia, diabetes is also the main cause of uremia, 30% of the direct outcome of diabetic patients is uremic diabetes. Recent statistics show that there are 43.2 million people with diabetes mellitus and 50.64 million people with impaired glucose tolerance in China. The sum of the two is 93.84 million. That is to say, there are about 13 million uremic patients and 15 million high-risk groups in China just because of diabetes.

The third reason of uremia is that patients with urinary tract infection will also get uremia. According to statistics, the incidence rate of urine sensation in China is 0, 23%, 2 and 37% respectively. In China, chronic pyelonephritis is the second factor, accounting for 21.2%. Different degrees of side effects of drugs cause uremia. Studies have shown that about 25% of patients with renal failure are related to the nephrotoxicity of drugs.

matters needing attention

Many people are found suffering from uremia in the physical examination, which is often very serious at this time, with anorexia, hypertension, anemia and other symptoms, which are difficult to control in the treatment. What we need to know is that kidney disease is a chronic disease. Generally speaking, patients with kidney disease have a history of uremia for several years. People have two kidneys. Even if one kidney completely loses its function, the other healthy kidney can also operate independently without affecting human health. Therefore, when the kidney is not damaged to a certain extent, it will not be noticed. But once you find out you have uremia, it's too late.
