What is kidney failure?
This diagnosis means that one or both of your kidneys have lost their ability to function.
The underlying cause is diabetes, high blood pressure and acute kidney injury.
In some clinical cases, it is temporary and progresses rapidly (acute), and sometimes it has a chronic form, therefore, the patient's condition worsens over time.
Kidney failure is the most acute stage of kidney disease. Treatment is necessary, otherwise the patient will die. Dialysis or kidney transplantation is recommended for treatment.
No one is immune from pathology, although there are special risk factors:
- Diabetes;
- High blood pressure;
- Heart disease;
- Family anamnesis of kidney disease;
- Pathological structure of the kidney;
- Age (above 60 years);
- You have been using painkillers for a long time.
It is worth noting that in the early stages of kidney disease, many people are not worried about anything or have very mild symptoms.
It is characterized by:
- Strong fatigue;
- Nausea and vomiting;
- Ability to concentrate is impaired, confusion is observed;
- Swelling;
- Muscle spasm;
- Dry skin, itchy skin;
- Ingratitude;
- Food has a metallic taste;
