How to check for uremia

summary

One of my relatives is a uremic patient. The damage caused by this disease is irreversible and very harmful. After the appearance of symptoms, timely treatment is very important. Here's how to check for uremia.

How to check for uremia

First, the serum creatinine level of patients with serum creatinine ≥ 707.2 μ molgl (i.e. 8 mg / dl), some of them are too thin and bedridden for a long time, is often low. For the sake of accuracy, the creatinine clearance rate should be determined, often < 10 ml / min;

Second: blood urea nitrogen is more than or equal to 28.6 mmol / L (80 mg / dl), but there are too many factors affecting urea nitrogen, which can not be used to judge renal function. For example, in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding and pulmonary infection, the renal function is not too poor, and the blood urea nitrogen can also be significantly increased. On the contrary, the renal function is already very poor, but the nutritional status is too poor, and the blood and urine toxic nitrogen rises in patients with little food It's not significant. Therefore, this item can only be used for reference;

Third: the CO2 binding force is less than 20 mmol / L, most of which are lower, indicating acidosis. The lower the value is, the more serious the acidosis is, indicating the more serious the condition is. It is a laboratory index that doctors attach great importance to.

matters needing attention

Uremia is a fatal disease, but it is not without medicine. We should choose the appropriate treatment according to the patient's condition. If the renal function is irreversible, we need to use dialysis treatment.
