Causes of foot pain in Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease
Severe decline of kidney function
Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease refers that your kidney has severe damage and GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is about 15-29ml/min. With the decline of kidney function, kidneys fail to function properly. As a result, more wastes and toxins will accumulate in the body and damage various oranges.
Gout
Gout is a painful type of arthritis that results when uric acid crystals build up in the joints. These crystals are very sharp and give rise to acute inflammatory. A healthy kidney can keep acid-base and electrolyte balance, while for patients with stage 4 chronic kidney disease, the damaged kidney loses this function and gout is easily caused. What’s more, the most common performance of gout is sudden or severe pain in the big toe.
Swelling
Patients with stage 4 chronic kidney disease are accompanied with severe swelling in ankle, foot, hand or leg. Foot pain can also be induced by swollen foot.
How to relieve ankle pain in Kidney Failure?
1. Healthy diets. As uric acid mainly comes from the foods which are rich in purine, patients should avoid food with high purine.
2. Massage. A slight and moderate massage on foot can eliminate pain gradually.
3. Anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers, like aspirin, amoxicillin, motrin and so on. You never take them freely unless a doctor give a guidance to you.
4. Treatment should depend on the real causes. Here I recommend you to take Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy. It is an herbal method and external application. This therapy is to purify the blood and improve kidney function.
With osmotic device, the effective ingredients can permeate into kidney lesions directly. They can dilate blood vessels, fight against inflammations, dissolve blood clots and degrade extracellular matrixes, thus increasing the whole blood circulation. Then, kidneys can get enough blood volume and oxygen to function well.
As long as kidneys can work normally, excess fluid and uric acid can be excreted naturally. Therefore, all symptoms can be completely relieved.
