    Why do older people get kidney failure: Various chronic kidney diseases can lead to a progressive decline in kidney function, which eventually leads to kidney failure. Some chronic diseases that can lead to chronic renal failure include primary glomeruli, hypertension.

    Nephropathy, renal interstitial tubulointerstitial nephropathy, etc. Because some of the symptoms of kidney disease are similar to other symptoms, it is easy to cause misdiagnosis, delay the disease, aggravate kidney disease, aggravate the damage to the kidneys, and lead to chronic renal failure.

    The condition of the elderly may be caused by fever, infectious diseases.

    It may also be caused by drug reaction, which requires comprehensive clinical analysis and judgment.

    Chronic renal failure is a condition characterized by nausea and headache.

    Fatigue and nocturia are characterized by severe diseases. Elderly patients are weaker and are prone to chronic renal failure if health care is not done well. So what are the prevention methods of chronic renal failure in the elderly, there are acute and chronic renal failure, studies have shown that the number of elderly patients with chronic renal failure is gradually increasing, so the prevention and treatment of elderly renal failure has become very important.

    How to protect the kidneys and delay the occurrence and development of renal failure in the elderly is a very important clinical issue.

    Chronic renal failure in the elderly develops rapidly, with many complications and high mortality, and the age of onset is more common in elderly patients over 60 years old. As we age, the renal arterioles become clear and hardened. When suffering from hypertension, chronic glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy.

    Obstructive nephropathy, chronic pyelonephritis, polycystic kidney disease.

    Kidney cancer and prostate cancer.

    , it can exacerbate tubular arteriosclerosis.

    and progression of glomerulosclerosis, causing chronic renal failure.

    Complications require a combination of ** to correct anemia.

    Prevent gastrointestinal bleeding.

    Patients with hypercoagulability require anticoagulation**. Patients who have progressed should be switched to hemopurification as soon as possible**. Here is an introduction to the prevention of chronic renal failure in the elderly. More information about chronic kidney failure, peace of mind.

    The School of Medicine reminds everyone that chronic kidney failure should be checked as early as possible so as not to miss the opportunity.

    Chronic renal failure is a relatively common disease in our daily life, and it has a great impact on people. So, what causes chronic kidney failure? Let me tell you the causes of chronic kidney failure!

    What causes chronic kidney failure

    1. Kidney disease: it is the most direct and main cause of uremia. All kinds of kidney diseases, if the disease is not effectively controlled, the final outcome will be uremia, such as glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, kidney stones, urinary tract obstruction, renal vascular diseases, hereditary kidney disease, kidney tumors, etc.

    2. Other concomitant diseases: such as diabetes, hypertension, lupus erythematosus, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, etc., renal damage can occur with the prolongation of the course of the disease, and it can further deteriorate into uremia. Among them, diabetic nephropathy and hypertensive nephropathy are the most common and serious types of secondary kidney disease, which are the main causes of chronic renal failure caused by such factors.

    3. Uremia caused by drug damage to the kidneys: antibiotics, some anti-inflammatory drugs, medical contrast agents, anti-tumor drugs and some traditional Chinese medicines are all nephrotoxic drugs, which are easy to cause damage to the kidneys and thus lead to the formation of uremia.

    Prevention of chronic renal failure

    1) Actively prevent the occurrence of chronic renal failure for various acute and chronic glomerulonephritis, lupus nephritis, purpura nephritis or diseases that may affect the kidneys (such as hypertension and diabetes).

    2) Avoiding or eliminating certain risk factors, the application of drugs that are toxic to the kidneys, serious infections, dehydration, urinary tract obstruction (such as stones, prostatic hypertrophy), trauma and other factors can often aggravate the original kidney disease, deteriorate kidney function, and promote the occurrence of renal failure. In fact, regular, high-quality follow-up can reduce or avoid the occurrence of these risk factors, or detect and correct them early.

    3) A reasonable diet with a low-protein, low-phosphorus and low-fat diet has been laboratory and clinically proven to protect renal function in chronic kidney disease. It is emphasized that protein intake should be limited in order to prevent the development of chronic renal failure.

    4) The application of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors can not only control systemic hypertension, but also correct glomerular hyperperfusion and hyperfiltration, and delay the occurrence of renal failure. The commonly used drugs in clinical practice are captopril, lodine and ripressin.

    It is a natural phenomenon that the kidneys of older people decline with age. However, as the physiological function, physical activity and metabolism of the whole body of the elderly decrease, as long as the kidney function can maintain the required balance in the body, it will not cause symptoms. So what are the causes of kidney failure in the elderly?

    Some older people don't experience kidney function decline as they age. Even in old age, glomerular filtration is normal. The problem is that we need to know what level of kidney function each elderly person is in, so that we can pay attention to protection, especially to prevent the kidneys from being damaged by external adverse factors, leading to irreversible kidney failure.

    Causes of kidney failure in older adults may include:

    Long-term high-protein diet: A high-protein diet can increase the burden of filtration in the kidneys and even promote glomerulosclerosis. But this refers to "high protein" and should not be misconstrued as low protein.

    High blood pressure: Long-term high blood pressure is not effectively controlled, which contributes to kidney damage. Metabolic factors. If lipid metabolism is disordered, hyperlipidemia cannot be controlled.

    Cardiovascular disease: Cardiovascular disease that reduces blood flow to the kidneys, or recessive vascular disease that causes the kidneys, such as renal artery sclerolysis.

    Diabetes: In recent years, the elderly! The incidence of type 2 diabetes is gradually increasing, and diabetic nephropathy can occur if blood sugar is not effectively controlled.

    These factors, from a preventive point of view, can be avoided if done well. In addition to some normal physiological phenomena, there are other factors that can be avoided due to the decline of kidney function in the elderly. Recognizing this is important for health care and the prevention of kidney disease and should be taken seriously.

    Chronic renal failure has the following:

    1) Glomerular lesions: primary and secondary glomerulonephritis (such as IgA nephropathy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive arteriolar sclerosis, lupus nephritis, etc.);

    2) Tubulointerstitial lesions (chronic pyelonephritis, chronic uric acid nephropathy, obstructive nephropathy, drug-induced nephropathy, etc.);

    3) renal vascular disease;

    4) Hereditary kidney disease (such as polycystic kidney disease, hereditary nephritis), etc.

    The most common causes of chronic renal failure are: obstructive nephropathy, such as ureteral obstruction; Reflux nephropathy, urinary tract stones, etc. Vascular nephropathy, such as hypertensive disease, renovascular hypertension, renal arteriolar sclerosis, etc.

    chronic glomerulonephritis, such as IgA nephropathy, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis; Focal segmental sclerosing glomerulonephritis and mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, etc. Systemic diseases, such as lupus nephritis, vasculitis, kidney damage, multiple myeloma, etc.

    Although acute kidney failure is sometimes caused by a condition other than kidney disease, chronic kidney failure is almost always caused by kidney disease.

    Primary nephropathy, a disease of the kidneys itself, accounts for more than half of the cases, and may be influenced by the increase in the number of diabetic nephropathies, which progresses from diabetic nephropathy to chronic kidney failure.

    In addition, there are many cases of chronic renal failure due to renal sclerosis caused by high blood pressure, lupus nephritis caused by systemic lupus erythematosus, and polycystic kidney disease.

    Renal failure mainly includes primary glomerulonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis, hypertensive renal arteriole sclerosis, diabetic nephropathy, secondary glomerulonephritis, tubulointerstitial lesions, hereditary kidney diseases, long-term use of antipyretic analgesics and exposure to heavy metals. In traditional Chinese medicine, there are also some drug ingredients that can cause damage to the kidneys, so patients with kidney failure are advised to use them with caution. Kidney failure is currently mainly based on hemodialysis or renal replacement**.

    1. Hemodynamic changes in the human body: insufficient blood perfusion, such as the amount of blood passing through the kidneys in the event of shock, depressive heart failure, heart disease, thrombosis (DIC), heat stroke, excessive vasoconstriction and diastolic disease.

    If it is right, it is insufficient, and the metabolic rate of waste products will be relatively reduced, resulting in the accumulation of nitrogen-containing wastes, increasing the burden on the kidneys and causing kidney failure.

    2. Harm of toxic substances: many drugs in daily life have considerable damage to the kidneys, such as some antibiotics, chemotherapy drugs, non-sterol analgesics, X-ray contrast agents, alcohol, heavy metal poisoning (lead, mercury, arsenic, thallium), or insects, snake venom, etc., can produce different degrees of toxic reactions to the kidneys, resulting in renal function decline, thereby causing kidney failure.

    3. Diseases of the body itself: leptospira infection, autoimmune nephritis, liver failure, bacterial endocarditis, pyelonephritis, and lymphosarcoma, etc., when the human body itself has these diseases, it is often easy to cause kidney damage, which has also become the main cause of kidney failure.

    (1) Kidney disease. The disease mainly invades the kidneys, and the main manifestations of the kidney are various chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic interstitial nephritis (including chronic pyelonephritis), kidney stones, renal tuberculosis, hereditary nephritis, polycystic kidney disease, medullary cystic disease, renal artery stenosis, renal tubular acidosis, etc.

    2) Lower urinary tract obstruction. For example, prostatic hypertrophy, prostate tumor, urethral stricture, neurogenic bladder, etc., are mainly manifested as bladder dysfunction, which is easy to cause renal failure due to secondary infection.

    3) Systemic diseases and poisoning. Renal failure is often caused by kidney invasion. Such as hypertensive renal arteriosclerosis, malignant hypertension, heart failure, diabetes, gout, hyperkalemia or hypokalemia, primary and secondary amyloidosis, polyarteritis nodosa, systemic lupus erythematosus, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, myeloma, macroglobulinemia, liver cirrhosis, analgesics and heavy metal (lead, cadmium, etc.) poisoning.
