The statistics shows that the mortality related to cerebrovascular disease is
12.7% among CKD patients receiving dialysis. Cerebrovascular disease is one of
the common complications of CKD as well as the main death cause of uremia
patients.
Since that CKD patients tend to have cerebrovascular disease, then what are
the symptoms CKD patients should pay attention to?
First, hypertension is the most dangerous factor for CKD patients. It is
common that CKD patients often have hypertension, arteriosclerosis, especially
cerebrovascularsclerosis at the same time. Therefore, CKD patients with
hypertension are apt to have cerebrovascular disease.
The second one is something about the renal function. It is found that high
serum creatinine patients, with or without hypertension, have high risk of
cerebrovascular disease.
MAU is also one of causes of stroke. MAU refers to the albumin in urine is
beyond the expected arrange but under the urine proteins examinable in the Urine
Routine Examination, i.e. urine albumin 30-300mg/d/24h. when CKD patients have
MAU,they obviously have higher risk of cerebrovascular disease, stroke, renal
damage and mortality.
If CKD patients are accompanied by anemia, the risk of stroke is increasing.
When the renal function declines, the number of hemopoietin decrease, which
reduces the protective function of neurons and increases the risk of stroke.
Hyperur icemia is anther factor. It may be caused by hypoxia of some tissues
when the kidney lacks blood supply.
Diabetes is one of the main causes of CKD. The morbility of cerebrovascular
disease is high among Diabetic Nephropathy patients.
