Chronic Kidney Disease can be divided into five stages according to
glomerular filtration rate. The last stage of Chronic Kidney Disease is called
End Stage Renal Kidney (ESRD). With stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease, people
usually have a group of complications and the followings are the common one.
Complication one:High blood pressure
High blood pressure is the most common complication, which may appear before
Chronic Kidney Disease develops into end stage. Damaged kidneys will generate
large amount of renin which will cause the increase of blood pressure through a
series of reactions. High blood pressure is especially harmful for us as it can
cause further damage to our kidneys. Therefore, avoid the occurrence of high
blood pressure is of significant for people suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease. CKD Stage 3 Treatment and CKD Stage 4 Treatment
Complication two: Excessive fluid in our body
One of the most important functions of kidney is to excrete the excessive
water existing in our body. Since kidneys are damaged, excessive fluids in our
body can not be excreted smoothly and causing accumulations of them in our body.
Excessive fluid in our body can give rise to swelling in our face, around our
eyelids or inside of ankle. Therefore, to avoid worsening swelling, people
suffering from swelling should limit the intake of water.
Complication three: Anemia(Anemia and Kidney Disease)
Another complication of Chronic Kidney Disease is anemia which means the
blood red cell value in blood lower than the normal value. Mild anemia may have
no influence on our human; however, if anemia becomes serious, then weakness,
fatigue and short of breath will appear.
Complications four: Hyperkalemia
Potassium is a kind of mineral substance, excessive of which usually are
excreted though our kidneys. Potassium play an important part during our normal
life; however, too much of them will put us in danger. People suffering from
Chronic Kidney Disease may have no symptoms at all if there is too much
potassium in their body, so it may occur without our consciousness. To avoid
Hyperkalemia, people suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease should know about the
potassium volume in different vegetables or fruits.Can Stage 5 Kidney Failure Be Cured by Dialysis and What Can Be Done for CKD Stage 5 Caused By Hypertension
Apart form these complications, people with stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease
may suffer from some other complications as bone disease. All these
complications are caused by impaired renal function, so to avoid suffering from
them, people with Chronic Kidney Disease should receive effective treatment as
soon as possible. for more information, please email to me or consult our
