Uremia is a disease that occurs in patients with chronic kidney failure who have reached the terminal stage. There are many reasons for causing uremia, such as chronic glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy, genetic nephropathy, urinary tract obstruction, etc. The causes of uremia caused by different diseases are different.
1. Chronic glomerulonephritis: Due to primary glomerulonephritis caused by different causes, slow and progressive glomerular damage leads to the inability to normally metabolize and excrete water and metabolic waste in the body, which are retained in the body, causing a series of symptoms such as water-electrolyte imbalance, acid-base imbalance, and endocrine disorders, which will gradually evolve into uremia;
2. Diabetic nephropathy: Long-term poor blood sugar control in diabetic patients can lead to diabetic nephropathy, causing kidney damage. Early damage is mainly minimal change lesions. With the progression of the disease, it will gradually lead to glomerular sclerosis and necrosis, resulting in uremia;
3. Hypertensive nephropathy: Long-term hypertension can lead to ischemic necrosis of the kidneys, causing chronic renal failure. If it is not well controlled, it will gradually evolve into uremia;
4. Genetic nephropathy: Genetic nephropathy mainly refers to polycystic kidney disease, which is a genetic disease. In the disease process, renal failure occurs, leading to the occurrence of uremia;
5. Urinary tract obstruction: Diseases such as prostatic hyperplasia and urethral stenosis can lead to the inability of patients to urinate normally due to prostatic enlargement or urethral stenosis, causing urine to accumulate in the bladder, which can lead to uremia. In addition, urethral tumors, interstitial nephritis, etc., can also cause patients to develop uremia.
It is recommended that patients should achieve early detection and early treatment. Pay attention to a light diet, eat more high-quality proteins such as eggs and fish, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and rest more often.
