Can you get leg cramps from failing kidneys? For many kidney failure patients, the answer is definite. And the main reason of leg cramps is low blood calcium level. Now go on reading to learn more information.
1. Because of disease requirements, you follow a strict diet so so as to have an insufficient input for some essential elements. If so, it could be that vitamin D is in short supply in food. As a result, vitamin levels in the body are insufficient to support life activities, leading to leg cramps.
2. It may also due to vitamin D metabolism disorders. Kidney failure patients generally lack 1-hydroxylase, so active vitamin D3 can not be produced. Active maintenance D3 indeed has a strong biological activity, which can promote the absorption of calcium in the gastrointestinal tract. When patients have insufficient active vitamin D3, calcium absorption will be reduced. And then it is prone to leg cramps.
3. It could be hyperphosphatemia. In patients with renal failure, the decrease of glomerular filtration rate usually results in the decrease of phosphorus excretion, and phosphate is retained in the blood, thereby increasing the blood phosphorus. However, mild hyperphosphatemia can cause hypocalcemia so as to maintain the relative constant of the product of serum calcium and phosphorus.
If you often have leg cramps, you should go to hospital for checkups, because there are many causes of leg cramps, and then find out the corresponding measures to correct the symptom. For example, if it is indeed low blood calcium level that causes your leg cramp, you should supplement calcium and active vitamin D.
