What is uremia

summary

What is uremia? This is a question that many people will ask. Of course, if people have kidney disease, they will worry about whether it will also cause uremia, because if the kidney disease is seriously infected, uremia will appear. Now I will popularize the science of uremia.

What is uremia

First: acute uremia refers to the onset of acute, fatal symptoms. These symptoms can only be corrected by dialysis, which are manifested as: central nervous system damage symptoms include drowsiness, fatigue, memory loss, sluggishness, muscle tremor, fear, ataxia, vertigo, headache, flapping wing tremor, etc.; cardiovascular system symptoms include cardiac insufficiency (dyspnea, heart rate acceleration, etc.), uremic pericarditis, etc; Digestive system symptoms include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.; respiratory system symptoms include pulmonary edema, uremic pneumonia; at the same time, it is accompanied by hyperkalemia and bleeding tendency.

Second, chronic uremic symptoms refer to some non fatal symptoms with glomerular filtration rate lower than 30%, which are manifested as oliguria, anuria and isotonic urine; cardiovascular symptoms include uremic myocarditis (mainly manifested as arrhythmia) and arteriosclerotic diseases, and the peripheral nerve symptoms of uremia are paresthesia, low muscle strength, restless legs syndrome and pruritus; There are renal osteodystrophy, anemia, hypertension, low sexual function, menorrhagia, gout and so on.

Third: it should be pointed out that although uremia can have multiple systemic symptoms, not all symptoms of patients with chronic renal failure actually appear at the same time. The symptoms of each person are different, some have single systemic symptoms, and some have multiple systemic symptoms. The patients with less urine or less dialysis times and high blood potassium must strictly control the food with high potassium. The patients with oliguria, hypertension and edema should also strictly limit their drinking water. The daily drinking water volume should not exceed the urine output.
