Common Symptom 1: Edema
Many patients wake up in the morning and find edema in eyelids, This is a
danger signal. Edema is the most common manifestation when having kidney damage.
It starts early and is easy to notice. The features of this edema are: morning
edema in eyelid or face, usually fade in the afternoon, become worse after
fatigue, and relieve after break. When the disease condition further develops,
and patients come down with Hypoproteinemia, there will appear nephrotic edema,
which appears in the lower parts of body (e.g. inner ankles, lower limbs, and
for patients long-term in bed, the lowest part is lumbosacral portion), or even
general edema. Of course, don’t be jittery at the mention of edema, as the edema
doesn’t always indicate kidney disease. For example many women may have
physiological edema. Some people can be allergic to certain cosmetics or food,
some people may have disease in heart or liver, which are all lead to edema of
different levels. All in all, edema is not scaring, just go to hospital and have
a check, and the key lies in removing the root cause.
Common symptoms 2: High Blood Pressure.High Blood Pressure and Kidney Disease
Hypertension is divided into primary and secondary hypertension. Renal
Hypertension belongs to the latter. Many patients begin with the symptom of high
blood pressure, accompanied with headache, dim eyesight, and even sick, vomit,
confusion of consciousness etc. As people are differed of endurance capacity,
some patient, because of long term hypertension, has been used to the statement
of high blood pressure, may have no special feeling of it. They can only be
aware of having high blood pressure when going for a doctor or a test. So, it is
not advisable to judge it by sense, and regular pressure test is necessary. Once
you got a higher blood pressure, go to hospital in time. Then, doctors will
suggest you do a further test, to make sure the cause of hypertension. Nephrotic
hypertension is caused by the damaging of kidney parenchyma or stenosis of renal
artery, which is usually more serious. And on this condition, common hypotensor
is not effective, what’s more, it can easily cause crisis of hypertension.
Common Symptom 3: Lumbago.How to Control Nausea and Vomiting in Stage 4 CKD
We can naturally think of kidney problem when mentioned lumbago, which is
somehow reasonable not comprehensive. Both acute and chronic kidney disease can
cause lumbago. Dull pain (caused by stretch of renal capsule) is common symptom
of acute/chronic Glomerulonephritis; rapping pain is common symptom of
Interstitial Nephritis and renal pelvis hydrops; percussion pain is common in
acute/chronic Pyelonephritis; smarting in renal region is common symptom of
Thrombosis of renal artery, acute RVT, Perinephric abscess, etc. When kidney
stone, blood clot or dropped slough blocked the ureter, the ill side can burst
renal colic, and radiate towards hypogastrium, vulva and inner thigh,
accompanied with blood urine, sick, vomiting etc. It is note worthy that not all
kidney diseases appear the symptom of lumbago. Meanwhile, not all lumbago are
related to kidney, for example, strain of lumbar muscles, lumbar disc herniation
will also cause discomfort such as lumbago, which are easy to distinguish after
test of kidney function.Treatment for Stage 4 Kidney Failure Patients With Gout
Common symptom 4: Change of Urine Volume.Severe Fatigue With Stage 4 Kidney Failure
The main task of kidney is discharging watery metabolic waste (urine) from
human body. The urine volume of a healthy people is 1000-2000ml/d, 1500ml on
average. Usually, both increase and decrease in urine volume are signals of
kidney disease. As is known to all, owing to the regulating action of kidney,
urine volume increases with water intake and decreases with sweat. It is just
because of this regulation that water in vivo can keep balance. If there emerges
something wrong with the kidney, this regulation will dysfunction and the
following conditions will happen.Treatment Options for Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
(1) Urine volume decreases: less than 400ml a day is oliguria, and less than
100ml a day is anuria. Both oliguria and anuria are indicating serious kidney
disease. The causes of oliguria and anuria are shock, dehydration, heart
failure, or urinary tract obstruction caused by obstruction, stone, tumor of
renal tubules, BPH, neurogenic bladder.
(2) Urine volume increases: continuously more than 2500ml/d is polyuria. The
causes of polyuria are Insipidus, Diabetic Nephropathy, and renal tubule
mesenchymal lesion, etc.
(3) Nocturia increase: under normal codition, urine volume in daytime is
larger than that in the night. People usually don’t urinate in the night except
that he drinks large amount of water before going to bed. Children’s kidneys are
not yet well developed, and elders have degenerated in kidney function, so they
may get up in the night to urinate. Generally speaking, if the overnight urine
volume is more than that of daytime, or the overnight urine volume exceeds
750ml, it is called overnight urine increase, which indicates the dysfunction of
kidney tubules. If a chronic Glomerulonephritis patient appears the symptom of
urine volume increase, it means the kidney tubules have been involved, and
kidney function has been degenerated.Stem Cell Therapy for CKD Stage 5 Patients
Common Symptom 5: Abnormal in Urine Test.Stem Cell Therapy Treats Kidney Disease
Once the above symptoms appeared, you should go for a urine test in time. A
general urine routine test can examine if there are protein, occult blood, red
blood cells, white blood cells, cast, acetone body, urine sugar in urine.
However URT can only examine the abnormal substances and the general condition,
so the further test is needed, e.g. 24-hour TUPr. The required equipments of URT
and TUPr are simple and cheap, so they can be used in the general examining of
kidney disease. If there shows abnormal in URT and TUPr, it is indicating there
is possibility that you got kidney disease. Then, it is time you have a further
check in nephrology department.Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital
Common Symptom 6: Anemia.Huaxia Nephropathy Research Institute
Many people may ask, could it be that kidney disease can cause Anemia? The
answer is YES. As the hemopoietin, who can produce red blood cells, is supplied
by kidney, so when kidney function was damaged, its secretion will come down,
leading to underproduction of red blood cells, and then Anemia. At this time
some symptoms like dizziness and fatigue would appear. In clinical cases, we
found quite a few people do not care, some people just orally take some health
care products to make blood, or have a hasty check in a hospital, which can
easily cause diagnosis delay. When other symptoms appear, the damage has become
very serious. Of course, there are many factors that can cause Anemia. Once you
doubt or were examined Anemia, do go for a further check in a normal hospital,
only in this way, can you grasp the initiative of treatment tightly.
