Moreover, kidney failure can be chronic or acute, so many people are not familiar with this disease. Below, we will introduce what chronic kidney failure is.
1. Gastrointestinal symptoms
Kidney disease has a significant impact on us. It not only affects the patient's kidneys, but also affects the beating of the gastrointestinal tract. In the early stages, patients may experience symptoms such as anorexia (the earliest loss of appetite), nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and oral ulcers, ammonia odor in the oral cavity, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
2. Hematological system diseases
Patients may also experience hematological diseases, such as anemia and bleeding. Anemia is a common symptom in uremic patients, mainly due to a decrease in the secretion of stimulating erythropoietin by the kidneys and the inhibition of red blood cell production in the blood. Bleeding is often caused by skin and mucosal bleeding, which is related to increased platelet destruction and prolonged bleeding time. It may be caused by toxins, and dialysis can quickly correct it.
3. Abnormal white blood cells
Renal failure disease can also affect patients' white blood cells. In clinical practice, we have found that patients' white blood cells are reduced, and their bactericidal ability is also weakened, making them prone to infection. Dialysis can improve this condition.
4. Cardiovascular system
Cardiovascular system diseases are also symptoms of chronic renal failure patients, including hypertension, heart failure, pericarditis, atherosclerosis, etc.
