For kidney patients, there are 3 of the most dangerous moments. Once you detect the signal, go to see doctors immediately.
Kidney disease is a chronic disease that comes and goes slowly. Not only is it slow, but it's also silent, so many people don't know it for decade, until uremia happens.
Although kidney disease progresses slowly, as a serious disease, kidney disease also has dangerous moments. Of these, the three most dangerous are:
1. Blood pressure rises abruptly
In kidney disease, 60% of patients have hypertension, and in general, hypertension causes progressive progression of kidney disease.
However, sometimes kidney patients have a sudden increase in blood pressure. When this happens, no matter original blood pressure is high or not, it is the most dangerous sign of kidney disease. The kidney itself is a mass of blood vessels, how to withstand the impact of blood pressure? At this time, acute renal failure may occur, soon into the uremia phase.
At the same time, a sudden increase in blood pressure can also cause heart failure and cerebrovascular accidents.
Therefore, it is suggested to measure blood pressure at home.
2. The amount of urine decreases suddenly.
Less than 400ml of urine a day is called oliguria, a sign of severe renal failure. When oliguria occurs, it is often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, dizziness and headache, fatigue and lethargy, and even coma.
Reduced urine volume can lead to water and sodium accumulation, which can lead to hypertension, pulmonary edema, and heart failure.
Meanwhile creatinine increases significantly, and more importantly, urea nitrogen increases. Urea nitrogen is much more toxic than creatinine and can poison the nerves and organs. If necessary, hemodialysis should be conducted temporarily, followed by subsequent treatment.
Therefore, it is suggested to observe urine changes in the daily.
3. Thrombosis
Thrombosis is a serious complication of Nephrotic Syndrome, including venous thrombosis of the lower extremities, renal vein thrombosis, and more serious pulmonary embolism, cerebral embolism. In severe case, it is fatal.
When thrombosis or embolization occurs, pain in the waist and lower limbs and edema of the lower limbs can occur, accompanied by dizziness, headache, vomiting and chest tightness. Nephrotic syndrome patients must adhere to the treatment of lowering proteinuria, reducing fat and anticoagulation to prevent thrombosis.
Kidney patients should pay attention to the above 3 moments. Once you have any of them, go to see your doctors immediately. With timely treatment, it is possible for you to head off the danger. For more information on CKD treatment, please leave a message below or contact online doctor.
