Chronic kidney disease, what are the effects on the body?

Chronic nephritis will have a great impact on the human body, which will lead to various complications in patients, and will cause hypertension, some patients have hypertension that is difficult to control, and long-term hypertension will aggravate the condition of chronic kidney disease, which can easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Patients with chronic nephritis will experience edema, loss of appetite, malnutrition, and can lead to a decrease in immunity.

As the disease progresses, it can lead to a large accumulation of toxins, which can lead to serious complications. If the patient's renal function is impaired, it can cause severe anemia, which can lead to renal insufficiency, the appearance of metabolic acidosis, electrolyte imbalances, hyperkalemia, severe edema can lead to generalized edema, can cause pulmonary edema, can lead to heart failure, can develop into chronic renal failure.

KidneysKnown as the "foundation of the day after tomorrow", these four words may seem simple, but they represent the importance of the kidneys. If the human body does not protect the kidneys well and keep the kidney function normal, after the occurrence of kidney disease, it is equivalent to the "acquired foundation" is insufficient, and its immune function and resistance are naturally not as good as healthy people, and in the face of disease, the body will naturally suffer.

The kidneys are important organs for the body to metabolize water and produce urine, and normal kidneys will allow people to excrete it every day2000 mlThe left and right of the urine are roughly divided into4-6 timesDischarge. After chronic kidney disease, the filtration and secretion functions of the kidneys are weakened, water cannot be metabolized smoothly in the body, and the production of urine decreases, so the frequency or output of urine decreases.

Chronic kidney disease is not a single disease, but a collective term for many kidney diseases, including glomerular filtration of less than 60%. If chronic kidney disease is not well controlled, it will develop into decreased kidney function or kidney failure, and in severe cases, uremia. In order to avoid the aggravation of the disease, patients with chronic kidney disease should do a good job of nursing care in their daily life.

Normally, people excrete urine that contains:2-40 thousandMolecular weight proteins, and other macromolecular albumins are left in the body to give the body ** energy and nutrients. If you find that the urine contains a large amount of foam during urination, these foams are exceededTen minutesAfter that, if it does not completely dissipate, it is necessary to be alert to the occurrence of proteinuria.

So-calledProteinuriaThe reason for this is that the kidneys have been damaged by undesirable factors, and the permeability of the glomeruli filtration membrane has increased, destroying the human bodyElectrolytesbalance, causedProteinsWithout adequate filtration and absorption, macromolecular albumin enters the urine, causing proteinuria.

The kidneys also have the ability to metabolize water, so they should not be able to consume too much water after chronic kidney disease. Otherwise, it is easy to cause edema due to the accumulation of water, which will increase the burden on the kidneys. People with kidney disease can drink liters of plain water every day.

People with chronic kidney disease also need to control their salt intake. After too much salt enters the body, it will increase the burden on the kidneys, thus causing more serious damage to the kidneys, and people with chronic kidney disease generally cannot consume more than 3 grams of salt per day.

Chronic kidney disease, what are the effects on the body?

Some chronic kidney diseases, if not effectively controlled, will slowly reduce kidney function and progress to end-stage renal disease, also known as uremia.

In end-stage renal disease, renal function must be used instead of medical treatment, i.e., hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, or kidney transplantation. No matter which method is used, it is all a lot of economic pressure, and the quality of life is greatly affected.

Some uremia patients claim that they have "immortal cancer", which is a bit too negative, but it also shows the fear and helplessness of the patient.

In fact, it is also a kind of good luck for chronic kidney patients to be able to steadily develop into the uremia stage, because some patients with chronic kidney failure have already passed away due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease complications before reaching the uremia stage.

The damage of chronic kidney disease to the human body is mainly due to two results, one is uremia, and the other is cardiovascular disease, including heart failure, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, etc.

Today, I'm going to talk about cardiovascular disease caused by chronic kidney disease. For the sake of our good health, the disease problems caused by chronic kidney disease must be taken seriously.

Overseas analysis data shows that compared with patients with normal kidney function, the mortality rate of patients with mild and moderate kidney function is increased by 20, and cardiovascular disease is increased by 40. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease is the leading cause of death for patients with chronic kidney disease, and more than half of patients with chronic kidney disease die from cardiovascular disease.

An analysis in China showed that the incidence of cardiovascular disease in non-chronic kidney disease patients in the group around 66 years old, while the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease in the same age. According to other statistics, about 50% of uremia patients die from cardiovascular disease.

The analysis data from countries around the world is basically the same: the incidence of cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease has increased significantly, and more than half of patients with chronic kidney disease die from cardiovascular disease.

It has a particularly serious effect, and then it may lead to organ failure, and then it can also cause the kidneys to not work properly, which may lead to kidney failure or kidney cancer, which will affect life and longevity.

Chronic kidney disease can cause other complications such as uncontrollable high blood pressure, edema, loss of appetite, etc.

There are many symptoms of chronic kidney disease, some patients have pain in the kidney area, and some people will experience symptoms such as urgency, frequent urination, sweating, and fatigue. In the long run, it will cause other organs to malfunction.

1.will cause your physical strength to weaken, 2Physically weaker, 3Can't do some heavy physical labor, 4Have hypertensive disorders, 5There is edema in the body, and there may be other diseases, such as uremia.

The impact of chronic kidney disease on the body is very large, chronic kidney disease will make you very weak, no matter what you do, you can't use your strength, and your face is pale, especially easy to get tired, especially drowsy, and if it is serious, you will be nausea and retching, and you will go into shock, and the impact on the body is very large, so you should eat more nutritious things and drink some water in your diet, and do some exercises every day to improve your resistance, which can play a role in relieving yourself.

Chronic glomerulonephritis, referred to as chronic nephritis, refers to proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, edema as the basic clinical manifestations, with different modes of onset, prolonged disease, slow progression of lesions, can have different degrees of renal function decline, with renal function deterioration tendency and will eventually develop into a group of glomerulopathies of chronic renal failure.

Due to the different pathological types and stages of disease in this group, the main clinical manifestations may vary. Disease manifestations are diverse. Chronic nephritis is generally treated with Western medicine**, proteinuria and occult blood are easy to be controlled in a short period of time, but it is also easy to be affected by colds and infections**, and the disease develops to the later stage in continuous recurrence, with symptoms such as anemia, severe hypertension, nausea, vomiting, etc., and finally develops into uremia.

1. Edema, because the main function of the kidney is to produce urine, when the kidney function is damaged, the urine can not be eliminated from the body normally, which will lead to edema in patients. Severe edema can affect the patient's normal life and can also affect the patient's mood.

2. Chronic nephritis can also cause high blood pressure, which is not good for the elderly.

3. Dizziness and fatigue will occur, which will also affect the patient's daily life.

4. The kidneys will be damaged to varying degrees, the kidneys are the most important organs of the human body, if there is a problem with the kidneys, then there will be problems with the body's detoxification system, resulting in a large amount of toxins accumulating in the body, and finally causing uremia.

5. It can cause some diseases of other systems, such as the respiratory system, gastrointestinal system and urinary system.

In fact, the symptoms of the reaction may vary depending on the physical condition of the patient. The harm of chronic nephritis can lead to nephritis syndrome in patients, such as proteinuria, hematuria, edema, hypertension, etc. Proteinuria and hematuria may occur separately or in combination.

Proteinuria is foamy, cloudy, and dark, and in severe cases of hematuria, the color of blood in the urine may be visible to the naked eye.

Chronic glomerulonephritis is caused by a protracted acute nephritis. Some patients have a history of acute nephritis in the past, and the symptoms have disappeared for many years, mistakenly thinking that they have been cured, but the inflammation continues to progress slowly, and after several years, the symptoms reappear, and it becomes chronic glomerulonephritis. In some patients, the inflammation of the kidneys is insidious from the beginning, and the patient has no obvious manifestations of acute glomerulonephritis, but the inflammation develops slowly and becomes chronic glomerulonephritis after several years.

Dangers of chronic nephritis can also cause edema of both lower limbs or eyelids, and in severe cases, generalized edema. If the edema is severe, it may also cause problems in the intestines and other areas, affecting the patient's daily diet. The harm of chronic nephritis is that the kidneys are severely damaged, resulting in the concentration and dilution of urine, resulting in a decrease and increase in the proportion of nocturia.

Most patients with this disease are accompanied by proteinuria, the amount of proteinuria varies, and in acute attacks, there is blood in the urine and even gross blood in the urine.

Once chronic nephritis is diagnosed, it is necessary to be active**, if ** is not timely or improper measures will make the condition continue to develop, the harm of chronic nephritis Uremia can appear edema of the whole body, anemia, itching, nausea and vomiting, electrolyte disorders, acidosis, blood creatinine, urea nitrogen elevation, etc. In the later stage, it can involve the five internal organs, and even pericardial effusion and pleural effusion may occur, resulting in the failure of the heart, lungs and kidneys, making the condition more prolonged and difficult to heal, and ultimately life-threatening.

Edema, hypertension, proteinuria, hematuria, and renal impairment.

In fact, kidney disease is very harmful, generally more common in men, and some people with kidney damage are more likely to get kidney disease, and families with a genetic history are also more likely to get this kind of disease, so it still needs to be paid attention to, some physical factors may lead to the occurrence and aggravation of kidney disease, all of which need our attention.

Epidemiological surveys have shown that chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become one of the major diseases that threaten public health worldwide for more than 30 years. According to the statistics of recent years, in developed countries (such as the United States and the Netherlands), the general population suffers from different degrees of kidney disease, among which the number of kidney diseases in the United States has exceeded 20 million, and the number of patients with kidney disease admitted to hospitals every year is as high as more than 1 million, and the number of people who have kidney disease and do not go to the doctor is much larger than the number of patients who are admitted. There are no detailed epidemiological data on chronic kidney disease in China, and preliminary results show that the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in people over 40 years old is about 8% to 9%, which is alarming.

Why is the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) high and the number of patients increasing year by year? The main reason is that with the improvement of material life and working conditions, people's lifestyles have undergone some unreasonable changes, such as eating too much of certain nutrients (carbohydrates, fats, salt, etc.) and doing too little physical activity; At the same time, due to increased work pressure, mental stress, lack of sleep, smoking, alcoholism, various environmental pollution and other factors, the prevalence of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, high uric acid, obesity, and chronic kidney disease secondary to the above metabolic diseases is increasing. Second, the incidence of infections (hepatitis, tuberculosis, AIDS, schistosomiasis, etc.) and immune-mediated primary or secondary kidney disease remains high, especially in developing countries.

In addition to the above reasons, drug-induced kidney damage caused by drug abuse or non-standard medication is also another non-negligible cause of the increasing number of kidney diseases, such as analgesics, aristolochia, etc. Of course, with the development of society, the extension of human life expectancy, the aging of the population is becoming more and more obvious, and the functions of various organs of the elderly (> 65 years old) gradually show a degenerative trend with age, which makes the prevalence of kidney disease in the elderly, especially in the elderly (> 80 years old) population increase significantly. So, what are the risk factors?

The onset of chronic kidney disease is caused by a combination of factors, and its pathogenesis is also very complex, but people with the following risk factors have a significantly higher incidence of disease and should be highly vigilant. First of all, people with diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and people with a family history of kidney disease are more likely to get chronic kidney disease; Secondly, metabolic diseases (obesity, hyperlipidemia, high uric acid), long-term use of nephrotoxic drugs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, etc.), chronic urinary tract infection, urinary tract obstruction, hypercoagulable state, autoimmune diseases (lupus erythematosus, etc.), high-protein diet, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, low birth weight, age over 65 years old and other susceptible to chronic kidney disease.
