Is the likelihood of developing uremia high?

Uremia is a syndrome composed of a series of clinical manifestations that occur after chronic kidney failure enters the terminal stage. The exact cause of uremia is currently unclear, but it is closely related to chronic kidney diseases. It may be due to lesions in the kidney itself, or due to systemic diseases affecting the kidney. Even if it is a lesion in the kidney itself, it is necessary to clearly distinguish whether it is a lesion of the glomerulus or the renal tubule. Lesions of the glomerulus also need to be distinguished as to which part of the glomerular structure has abnormalities. The treatment plans for the original diseases caused by different reasons are also different. Therefore, the probability of getting uremia is not high, but the number of uremia patients found clinically is indeed increasing year by year.

1. Primary diseases: Uremia usually occurs secondary to chronic kidney diseases, such as chronic glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive renal damage, genetic nephropathy, and purpura nephritis. If such diseases are well controlled, they may not develop into uremia. If the primary disease is poorly controlled, such as diabetic nephropathy patients who have already developed more serious complications such as diabetic foot, they may develop into uremia;

2. Effects of systemic diseases: Some systemic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, rheumatic immune diseases, etc., if not controlled, may also develop into uremia;

3. Lesions of the kidney itself: When patients have basic kidney diseases, such as primary chronic glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, etc., if not controlled, they may eventually develop into uremia. In addition, factors such as urinary tract obstruction and urinary tract infection may also induce uremia. Age, genetics, malnutrition, tumors, etc. have a certain relationship with the occurrence of uremia. Therefore, it is recommended that people with the above-mentioned predisposing factors promptly go to the hospital for examination to determine whether they have uremia. If they do, they should be treated as early as possible to avoid delaying the condition.
