Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) always has a long process to go from its early
stage to end stage. Some people may keep the disease under control for decades,
which means the patients can live a normal life in some degree. However, Chronic
Kidney Disease may be exacerbated quickly, and develop into Chronic Renal
Failure in a short period of time if there are external factors invading the
inner environment of the body.
Here are some factors which should be noticed by the patients with Chronic
Kidney Disease.
Infection of bacteria and virus.
This is the most common reason of the acute exacerbation of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), because many
kinds of ailments can not always be avoided in daily life, which includes cold,
flu, pharyngitis, tracheobronchitis, and asymptomatic bacteriuria.
Overstrain.
Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease are suggested to keep relaxed and easy
so that the environment in their body can be steady. Overstrain such as
strenuous exercise, hard physical labor, and sexual strain, can easily lead to
acute exacerbation of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
Taking medicines of renal toxicity.
The kidneys are sensitive to some medicines, because their main functions are
excreting the wastes and reabsorbing the effective elements of the body, which
can be decreased by the medicines with renal toxicity. These medicines are
various and should be taken under the instruction of doctors, such as
gentamicin, and kanamycin.
Acute stimulation.
This mainly refers to some emergency conditions which will overburden the
body, such as acute gastrointestinal bleeding, serious gastroenteritis, nausea
and vomiting, and diarrhea. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) can develop into renal failure with the
stimulation of these diseases.
Other factors. This part includes factors such as the imbalance of fluid and
electrolyte, and acid-base disorder.
Only when the patients with Chronic Kidney Disease take care of their daily
life and try to avoid these factors can they do a better job in controlling the
CKD in its early stage.
