What symptom is kidney disease potassium low

summary

Before I went to the physical examination, I knew I had kidney disease, but because of my work, I was treated intermittently, so I haven't been cured completely. It seems that my condition is serious these days. I went to the hospital to check that my potassium is low. Now let's talk about the symptoms of low potassium nephropathy.

What symptom is kidney disease potassium low

Symptom 1: the main reason is the progressive decline of renal function. Because potassium ion cannot be discharged from the seriously damaged kidney, it will cause "hyperkalemia". In addition, a large amount of waste generated by metabolism in the body cannot be discharged from the body. In the long run, it will eventually lead to uremia.

Symptom 2: due to the disturbance of potassium excretion, the concentration of blood potassium will increase. When the concentration of blood potassium increases to a certain extent, it will pose a great threat to human life and health. Therefore, if patients with kidney disease and hyperkalemia need to limit the intake of potassium.

Symptom 3: hypokalemic nephropathy is characterized by tubular dysfunction, mainly by decreased concentration function, characterized by thirst, polydipsia, nocturia, even renal diabetes insipidus, and poor response to vasopressin. There was a small amount of proteinuria and tubules in the urine. Loss of potassium can cause metabolic alkalosis.

matters needing attention

Nephrotic patients treated carefully, success lies in the details, effective body recovery needs to know clearly how their body constitution is, in order to find the most suitable treatment for themselves, can also be treated through food therapy, diet taboo is also very important.
