Kidney disease is a common and frequently occurring disease, which not only threatens the patient's physical health, but also causes inevitable difficulties in their daily life and work. So, what are the symptoms of kidney disease? Do you know?
What are the symptoms of kidney disease?
1. Nausea and vomiting. When renal failure occurs in patients with diabetes, urea nitrogen in blood increases. Bacteria in the intestine contain urease, which will decompose urea into ammonia. Ammonia can stimulate gastrointestinal mucosa, causing nausea and vomiting.
2. Lack of strength. If the kidneys are diseased, nutrients such as protein may leak out of the kidneys and be excreted through urine, leading to signs of fatigue. Some patients may overlook kidney problems due to overwork or other reasons.
3. Hypertension. Hypertension can cause hypertensive kidney disease, also known as hypertensive kidney damage, so people with hypertension should pay more attention. Of course, kidney disease can also lead to high blood pressure.
4. Urinary protein and occult blood. The presence of protein or occult blood in urine is an important indicator of kidney disease, which can be detected by routine urine examination. But sometimes, non nephrologists may overlook this point and it is recommended to seek consultation with a nephrologist.
5. Abnormal urination volume. Healthy people usually urinate 4-6 times a day, with a urine output of approximately 800-2000 milliliters. If the frequency and volume of urination are too high or too low, attention should be paid.
6. Anemia. Patients with anemia often seek medical attention from a hematology department. In fact, in addition to excreting waste and other functions, the kidneys also have the function of secreting hematopoietic hormones, which is a major signal of renal function damage.
7. Gout, hyperuricemia. Gout and hyperuricemia are caused by too much uric acid in the blood. In people with high blood uric acid, uric acid will deposit in the kidney, causing damage to renal function.
