Chronic kidney failure, abbreviated as chronic kidney failure, is a type of kidney disease that is very common and highly harmful. Due to many people's lack of understanding of chronic kidney failure, the following is a summary of the clinical symptoms of chronic kidney failure, hoping to be helpful to everyone.
What are the clinical manifestations of chronic kidney failure?
1. Disorder of water, electrolyte, acid-base metabolism
In chronic renal failure, acid-base imbalance and various electrolyte metabolic disorders are quite common. Among these metabolic disorders, metabolic acidosis and water electrolyte balance disorders are the most common.
2. Metabolic disorders of proteins, sugars, fats, and vitamins
The main manifestations of abnormal glucose metabolism are impaired glucose tolerance and hypoglycemia, with the former being more common and the latter less common. Hyperlipidemia is quite common, with most patients presenting with mild to moderate hypertriglyceridemia, while a few patients presenting with mild hypercholesterolemia, or both. Disorders in vitamin metabolism are quite common, such as increased serum vitamin A levels, vitamin B6, and folic acid deficiency.
3. Cardiovascular system manifestations
The common cardiovascular diseases mainly include hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy, heart failure, uremic cardiomyopathy, pericardial effusion, pericarditis, vascular calcification and atherosclerosis. In recent years, it has been found that vascular calcification caused by hyperphosphatemia, abnormal calcium distribution, and a lack of "vascular protective proteins" also plays an important role in cardiovascular diseases.
4. Respiratory system symptoms
Excessive body fluid or acidosis can lead to shortness of breath or shortness of breath, and severe acidosis can cause deep breathing. Excessive body fluid and cardiac dysfunction can cause pulmonary edema or pleural effusion. The increased permeability of alveolar capillaries and pulmonary congestion induced by uremic toxins can cause "uremic pulmonary edema".
5. Gastrointestinal symptoms
The main symptoms include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and a urine odor in the mouth. Gastrointestinal bleeding is also more common, with a significantly higher incidence compared to normal individuals, mostly due to gastric mucosal erosion or peptic ulcer, with the former being the most common.
Through the above introduction, I believe you have some understanding of the clinical manifestations of chronic kidney failure? Here, it is important to remind everyone to exercise more, develop good lifestyle and dietary habits, ensure sleep, improve the body's immunity and resistance, and reduce the occurrence of diseases.
