How long does it take for kidney disease to progress to uremia?

The time for kidney disease to develop into uremia is not clearly defined clinically. Generally, if the patient actively treats the disease, it may take 5-10 years to develop into uremia. However, if the patient does not take the disease seriously and allows the disease to progress, it may develop into uremia in months or years. Kidney disease is a kind of renal structural and functional abnormality caused by various reasons, including primary glomerular disease, secondary glomerular disease, hereditary kidney disease, etc. According to different clinical manifestations, it can be divided into acute kidney injury, chronic kidney failure, end-stage kidney disease, and other types. Among them, acute kidney injury is further divided into acute tubular necrosis, acute interstitial nephritis, hemolytic uremic syndrome, etc. Since there are many causes of kidney disease, and the physical condition of each patient is different, there is no clear definition of how long it will take for the disease to develop into uremia. However, it is generally recommended that patients seek medical attention and treatment as soon as possible after the appearance of relevant symptoms to avoid delaying the condition. For patients with kidney disease, they should pay attention to a low-salt diet in daily life, avoid eating high-protein foods such as eggs, milk, etc. At the same time, they should rest, avoid overwork and strenuous exercise. For patients who have been diagnosed with uremia, they need to undergo dialysis treatment or kidney transplantation surgery as directed by the doctor. At the same time, they also need to maintain a good mental state and avoid emotional excitement or tension.
