Edema means retention of water in hypoderm. It is divided into two types:
pitting edema and nonpitting edema. Renal edema belongs to pitting edema, which
means that a pit will occur if you press the edema part using your finger. Renal
edema is caused by kidney disease, which is a typical symptom of Chronic Kidney
Disease.
Renal edema occurs in eyelids and face first, then it spreads to legs (always
occurs from ankles). If serious, it will occur all over the body with ascites
and hydrothorax.
When edema occurs, interstitial space will be full of water. Then patients
may feel swelling of eyelids and ankles. And they will have abdominal
distention, chest stuffiness and labored breathing if ascites and hydrothorax
occur. Patients with renal edema may put on weight (edema will occur after
gaining weight over 5kg).Pitting Edema in Kidney Failure Caused by Dehydration and Facial Edema in Nephrotic Syndrome
If patients doubt that they have renal edema, they can go to hospital having
a routine test of urine, which is the easiest and most reliable way. In
addition, renal edema is always accompanied by proteinuria, and many patients
are always with hematuria and cylinduria. If repeated routine tests of urine
appear normal, then you can feel relieved. It is impossible to be renal
edema.
Renal edema is caused by kidney disease. If you want to eliminate it, you
should treat your kidney disease, which is the root treatment method. Patients
are recommended to use Micro-Chinese Medicine accompanied by stem cell therapy treating Chronic Kidney Disease. And clinical practices in our hospital have
