Uremia is Not an Independent Disease

Uremia is not an independent disease, but a group of clinical syndromes. There are many causes of uremia, which can be due to kidney diseases themselves or due to systemic diseases affecting the kidneys. Even if it is a kidney disease, it is necessary to distinguish whether it is a glomerular lesion or a tubular lesion, and glomerular lesions should also be distinguished as primary or secondary. Different causes of primary kidney diseases may develop into uremia in the terminal stage, and secondary kidney diseases may also lead to uremia in the terminal stage. Therefore, the presence of urine after uremia may refer to the fact that the patient with early-stage uremia has developed a certain degree of kidney disease itself, but uremia caused by systemic reasons has not yet appeared.

I. Glomerular Lesions

1. Primary glomerular diseases: such as chronic glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, etc., may lead to glomerular sclerosis and renal function impairment. If treatment is not timely, it may gradually progress to uremia;

2. Secondary kidney lesions: such as diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus nephritis, etc., can also lead to gradual aggravation of renal function impairment and ultimately develop into uremia.

II. Renal Tubular Lesions

1. Primary drug-induced renal damage: It is an adverse reaction to drugs, such as long-term use of antibiotics such as gentamicin and sulfonamides, which may cause damage to the renal tubules and cause dysfunction;

2. Primary hypertensive nephrosclerosis: This disease is mainly related to hypertension. Long-term hypertension can damage the renal tubules and cause hypertensive nephropathy. If hypertensive nephrosclerosis cannot be effectively controlled, it may lead to uremia;

3. Obstructive nephropathy: Common causes such as urinary system stones and tumors may lead to obstructive nephropathy and renal ischemia. If treatment is not timely, it may lead to chronic obstructive nephropathy and ultimately form uremia.

Regardless of the cause of uremia, timely treatment is required once diagnosed. It is recommended that patients maintain sufficient sleep, avoid overwork, and comply with the doctor's advice to undergo regular hospital check-ups to understand the development of the disease.
