For the causes of chronic kidney failure, based on years of experience in treating kidney disease, the causes are relatively complex and cannot be summarized in just one or two sentences. They can mainly include internal and external factors. The so-called external factors are external factors such as viruses and bacteria, while internal factors refer to some kidney diseases that may cause kidney failure. Below, let's take a look at which diseases are the causes of chronic kidney failure in order to prevent and treat them effectively.
Experts introduce the causes of chronic kidney failure as follows:
1. Firstly, it is due to variations in the immune complex of glomerulonephritis, leading to glomerulonephritis and ultimately developing into chronic kidney failure. Renal failure can occur within a few months, or it can persist for several years until serum urea and creatinine rise, and renal function drops to half that of a normal person before symptoms appear. Sometimes it is diagnosed with glomerulonephritis several years after the onset of the disease, until terrifying symptoms of uremia appear.
2. Interstitial nephritis can easily lead to chronic kidney failure. Renal tubular atrophy, fibrosis, and scarring lead to reduced glomerular blood supply and decreased renal function, which is one of the causes of chronic renal failure.
3. In the late stage of diabetes nephropathy, chronic renal failure will also occur. Some people may have renal complications, especially young or type I diabetes patients may have proteinuria, which is often the first indication of kidney involvement. About half of diabetes patients with kidney disease have renal failure five years later, and other complications of diabetes, such as reticuloendothelial system, vascular system and nervous system complications, can also occur at the same time.
It can be seen that renal failure can generally be a complication of various kidney diseases. When kidney disease is not effectively treated, patients are prone to loss of renal function. In severe cases, kidney function may only be maintained through dialysis, which has a significant impact on the patient's body. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly prevent other kidney diseases from causing renal failure.
