However, uremia is only associated with kidney disease?
In fact, although kidney disease is one of the biggest incentives for uremia, but to remove kidney damage caused by kidney disease, there are many other situations may cause kidney damage, and quickly deteriorated into uremic period.
What are these things?
diabetes
Diabetic patients with inadequate insulin secretion, so the body fat metabolism disorders, in a high sugar state. In this case, damaged kidney cells can cause renal inflammatory response, and cause a series of kidney damage, so that the gradual loss of renal function, and ultimately cause uremia.
Diabetic patients failed to control the stability of the disease and blood sugar, and eventually the number of people going to uremia accounted for 30% of all patients.
Urinary tract obstruction
Long-term urinary tract obstruction will make the urine can not be properly discharged from the body, resulting in renal pelvis hydronephrosis, a direct impact on renal function, if not timely control is likely to develop to uremia.
Drug effects
Studies have shown that about 25% of renal failure to uremic patients, pathogenic causes and nephrotoxicity related to drugs. Especially the frequent use of painkillers in the crowd, more prone to renal function problems.
Urinary tract infection
Urinary tract infection and urinary tract obstruction is similar to the principle, are due to urinary system problems caused by impaired renal function.
hypertension
Hypertension brings the body to the long term. High blood pressure damage is not just the cardiovascular system, as well as kidney function. About 15% of hypertensive patients will eventually suffer from uremia.
age
With age, the structure and function of the kidney will undergo a significant degenerative change. In the absence of additional burden, renal function can meet the needs of human life activities.
But in the event of accidental injury, especially the elderly, is likely to cause a sharp decline in renal function, and then developed into uremia.
It can be seen, the cause of uremia is not just only one of the kidney disease.
Whether it is kidney disease patients, or ordinary people, should be highly concerned about their own health, do not miss any signs of minor lesions.
