Kindey disease: the causes

Renal insufficiency develops when both kidneys are unable to function: sometimes it develops gradually, sometimes in a more sudden way. The diseases that can lead to this problem are mainly:
  • diabetes
  • lupus
  • hypertension
  • recurrent kidney infections
  • renal cysts
  • kidney stones
  • blood infection called sepsis
  • constant use of painkillers, alcohol or other drugs.
The specialist in the kidneys, called a nephrologist, aims to slow the development and progression of the disease and the resulting damage, this is usually achieved through medication and changes in diet of the patient. It 's very important to monitor renal function regularly if a patient has a condition that could lead to renal failure or if he assumes any medication regularly. To monitor renal function are necessary blood tests and urine tests.

Kindey disease: the symptoms

When the kidneys are not functioning well your body retains water, resulting in swelling of face, ankles, legs or throughout the body. The excess fluid can also cause shortness of breath.
As the toxins accumulate in the body when the kidneys do not filter, patients with renal insufficiency feel very tired and weak, lose the ability to endurance and energy for daily activities. This is due in part to the fact that the products are not enough red blood cells, a condition called anemia. Patients with renal insufficiency sometimes feel pain below the rib cage. When renal failure worsens, the blood pressure tends to increase and the body produces less urine. Over time, kidney failure makes the skin pale. If nothing is done to treat the problem death can achieve the accumulation of toxins in the body as well as high levels of potassium in the blood.
