Renal failure is a disease that deteriorates very quickly, but it is also a disease with obvious stages. Once a renal failure patient becomes ill, the symptoms and conditions of each stage of renal failure are different, and of course, the treatment is also different. In order to better assist in the treatment of renal failure patients, we have summarized several important grading stages of renal failure for everyone.
How many stages are renal failure divided into? Medical exclusive introduction, renal failure is divided into four stages:
1、 Stage of decreased renal reserve capacity
The patient's nephron is reduced by 20% -50%, renal excretion and regulatory function are still good, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine are mostly within the normal range, and the patient is asymptomatic.
2、 Renal insufficiency stage
The patient's nephron decreases by 50% -70%, renal excretion and regulatory function decrease, and symptoms such as nocturia, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, etc. also occur. The renal concentration function is poor, and blood urea nitrogen and creatinine significantly increase.
3、 Renal failure stage
The patient has a 75% -90% reduction in renal units, frequent nocturia, and systemic poisoning symptoms of severe anemia and uremia, including hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, hyperchloremia, and hyponatremia. Metabolic acidosis is obvious, but there is often no hyperkalemia.
4、 End stage of uremia
Residual nephron<10%, with severe systemic poisoning symptoms, including digestive system, cardiovascular system, nervous system, etc., and secondary hyperparathyroidism, requiring dialysis treatment to maintain life.
Experts point out that there are many treatment methods for renal failure, but their main purpose is to control the condition and alleviate it. Control renal failure in the first two stages, and once the patient's condition enters the third stage, treatment becomes very difficult, and the patient's life becomes on the verge of death. So understanding the grading of renal failure stages can better treat this disease
