You may meet such a condition before: the relatively stable kidney disease gets worse suddenly. What can aggravate chronic kidney failure? Here are some common causes.
1. Primary disease activity
It is a common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) aggravation that the primary disease is long-lasting, and it is constantly active. For example, blood sugar level keeps high in patients with Diabetic Nephropathy; lupus is active in patients with systemic Lupus Nephritis; allergies recur in patients with allergic Purple Nephritis. Therefore, to control CKD, we must control the primary disease.
2. High blood pressure
For CKD patients, whether it is Hypertensive Nephropathy or renal hypertension after kidney disease, as long as the blood pressure remains high, it can accelerate kidney damage. Generally speaking, for every 10 mmHg increase in mean arterial pressure, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decreases by 2 ml/min per year. Therefore, the treatment of various kidney diseases must strictly control blood pressure, and antihypertensive treatment is the most important treatment of CKD. Moreover, blood pressure is generally controlled below 130/80 mmHg.
3. Massive proteinuria
Massive proteinuria is the result of glomerular injury and the cause of renal tubular injury. After tubular injury, the glomerular injury is aggravated by secreting various cytokines. Large amounts of proteinuria cause damage to the glomeruli and tubules, so reducing urinary protein is also one of the treatment measures for CKD. If the urinary protein is reduced to less than 0.3g/d, the progress of kidney disease can be curbed.
4. High salt or high protein diet
High salt diet leads to sodium and water retention in the body, aggravating the burden of kidney so as to make kidney condition worse. In addition, metabolic wastes such as creatinine, urea nitrogen and uric acid are byproducts of meat such as protein and nucleic acid. High-protein diets such as large amounts of meat also increase the burden on the kidney and aggravate the condition of kidney disease. Therefore, CKD patients should eat a low-salt diet. If kidney function is impaired, they should also eat a low-salt, low-fat, and low amount of high quality protein diet.
Besides, nephrotoxic drugs, infections, fatigue, alcohol, smoking, obesity and so on can also speed up kidney injury.
