What are the chances of developing uremia?
Uremia syndrome refers to a syndrome comprising a series of clinical manifestations that occur after chronic kidney failure progresses to its terminal stage. The probability of developing uremia cannot be determined, as it is a disease that occurs in patients with chronic kidney failure who have reached the terminal stage. Generally, treatment options include hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation.
1. Hemodialysis: This process involves using a dialysis machine to exchange substances in the patient's blood and then returning it to the body, achieving the purpose of eliminating waste, correcting electrolyte imbalance, and regulating acid-base balance. Hemodialysis for uremia patients is typically required three times a week, each session lasting 4-5 hours, and the dialysis time may be extended appropriately based on the patient's condition. According to clinical experience, patients who have been undergoing hemodialysis for 4-5 years due to uremia may develop uremia.
2. Peritoneal Dialysis: This is a renal replacement therapy that utilizes the exchange function of the human peritoneal cavity to eliminate metabolic waste from the body and maintain the stability of the internal environment. Peritoneal dialysis can maintain the stability of the internal environment of uremia patients, improve their quality of life, and is relatively important for sustaining the lives of uremia patients, with a lower probability of developing uremia.
3. Kidney Transplantation: After kidney transplantation, the original kidney function is completely normal, enabling excretion, waste metabolism, and regulation of water-electrolyte and acid-base balance, allowing patients to resume normal life and improve their quality of life. However, due to the loss of function of the transplanted kidney in uremia patients due to the original cause of the disease, rejection reactions may occur after transplantation, leading to incomplete renal function recovery and a possible increase in the probability of developing uremia.
4. Other Treatments: Uremia can also be treated through hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, which help the body eliminate excess water and metabolic waste, maintaining the stability of the internal environment. After kidney transplantation, patients should take prescribed medications such as furosemide and sodium bicarbonate tablets to improve their quality of life. It is recommended that once a diagnosis of uremia is made, patients should promptly undergo treatment under the guidance of a physician. In daily life, patients should rest adequately, avoid overexertion, and maintain sufficient sleep.
