Uremia generally does not cause any sensation. It is a syndrome composed of a series of clinical manifestations that occur when chronic kidney disease enters its terminal stage. In the early stage of uremia, there are usually no obvious clinical symptoms, but as the disease progresses, metabolic disorders, electrolyte imbalance, heart failure, anemia, and other symptoms may appear, at which time a sensation may be felt.
1. Metabolic Disorders: Due to the loss of kidney function in uremic patients, metabolic substances such as creatinine and urea nitrogen accumulate in the body, leading to a series of toxic symptoms. These include metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, etc., which can manifest as nausea, vomiting, anorexia, dizziness, lethargy, etc.
2. Electrolyte Imbalance: Uremic patients are prone to electrolyte imbalance, such as hypophosphatemia, hyperkalemia, and hyperchloremia, which can manifest as dry lips, dry skin, numbness of limbs, muscle weakness, arrhythmia, etc.
3. Heart Failure: Uremic patients are prone to developing heart failure, which can manifest as chest tightness, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing.
4. Anemia: Renal anemia and malnutrition anemia do not have obvious organic lesions and are the terminal stages of chronic kidney disease, so they usually do not have obvious sensations. However, symptoms such as pale complexion, dizziness, and fatigue may occur.
Uremic patients usually require strict dietary management, limiting salt intake, and adjusting protein intake appropriately based on renal function. High-quality proteins, such as lean meat, eggs, and milk, should be preferred. Diuretics, such as hydrochlorothiazide tablets, can be appropriately used under a doctor's guidance to correct water and sodium retention and hyperkalemia. Erythropoietin and iron supplements can also be used to alleviate anemia symptoms. Regular monitoring of physical condition and standardized treatment according to the doctor's requirements are also necessary.
