What causes uremia?

Uremia is a very serious disease. We know that once you suffer from this disease, your life may be in danger at any time. So what is the cause of uremia? We need to understand the causes of this disease so we can focus on prevention. This disease has seriously affected our normal life and requires us to pay attention to many issues in our daily life. We should develop good living habits, not stay up late, drink more water, not eat raw, cold and spicy food, and enhance our body's immunity.

1. Congenital kidney disease

Such as polycystic kidney disease, hereditary nephritis and various congenital renal tubular dysfunctions.

2: Secondary to systemic diseases such as hypertension and arteriosclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis, diabetes, gout, etc., are also the causes of uremia.

Chronic urinary tract obstruction

Such as kidney stones, bilateral ureteral stones, urinary tract stenosis, prostate hypertrophy, tumors, etc.

If membranoproliferative nephritis, rapidly progressive nephritis, membranous nephritis, focal glomerulosclerosis, etc. are not treated actively and effectively, they will eventually become the cause of uremia.

Kidney disease is the main cause of uremia, and the final outcome of all chronic kidney diseases will be uremia. Among these, chronic nephritis is the primary cause of uremia. Among the diseases that cause uremia, chronic glomerulonephritis accounts for 55.7%.

5. Other causes of uremia

For example, taking nephrotoxic foods. Studies have shown that about 25% of patients with renal failure are related to the nephrotoxicity of foods and blindly losing weight. Uremia caused by HIV infection is on the rise, and this cause now accounts for 1% of the causes of uremia.

The cause of uremia is the loss of renal function. The nitrogen waste produced by metabolism in the body cannot be excreted, and accumulates in the body, causing water and electricity imbalance, water retention, and electrolyte disorders. The common cause of renal failure is disease and damage to the kidneys themselves, which is called renal renal failure. Prerenal renal failure is often caused by heart failure or other reasons that lead to a decrease in blood pressure and insufficient renal perfusion. The main causes of post-renal renal failure are urinary tract obstruction and urine reflux.

The above content is about the causes of uremia. Some reasons are due to the patient’s own physical problems, while others are the result of acquired factors. The main reason is still due to kidney failure. We should also pay attention to the patient's blood pressure and ensure that the blood pressure is normal. There are also some kidney diseases that can cause uremia, so you need to do a good job of prevention in your daily life!
