What is uremia

summary

There is an old classmate who hasn't seen him for many years. Recently, he sent a message in the space, which caused attention. He was suffering from uremia, and we are all donating money for him. It's very troublesome to treat this kind of disease, such as hemodialysis, even kidney replacement surgery. Tell you something about uremia!

What is uremia

First of all: chronic renal failure refers to a series of symptoms and metabolic disorders caused by a variety of kidney diseases leading to progressive irreversible decline of renal function until the loss of function. The end stage of chronic renal failure is often called uremia.

Secondly: uremia is not an independent disease, but a common clinical syndrome of all kinds of advanced kidney disease, which is composed of a series of clinical manifestations when chronic renal failure enters the terminal stage.

Finally: in the early stage of chronic renal insufficiency, there are only symptoms of primary disease in clinic, and the decrease of creatinine clearance rate can only be seen in the examination. These patients in uremic compensatory stage often suffer from sudden deterioration of renal function and uremic symptoms (i.e. the clinical manifestations of various systems mentioned above) under stress, which is clinically called reversible uremia. However, once the stress factors are removed, renal function can often return to compensatory stage.

matters needing attention

Often some patients have entered the uremic period, but they have been delaying, unwilling to receive dialysis treatment, and always worried about the side effects and costs of dialysis. In fact, this is not good, to treat with confidence, in order to have hope, do not give up easily. Many patients still hope that traditional Chinese medicine can "cure" uremia and get rid of dialysis.
