Many people think that uremia is an incurable disease, and once the disease occurs, kidney friends can only wait for death?
As everyone knows, although uremia is a serious disease, as long as you actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment after the disease, and pay more attention to regulating the body and regulating emotions, you can effectively prolong your life.
In fact, there are many factors that contribute to the death of uremia kidney friends, so you may wish to pay more attention to the following important factors.
1. Uremia is a common cause of death
1. Cardiovascular
Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in uremia nephrologists.
Studies have shown that about 51% of dialysis kidney friends in mainland China die of cardiovascular disease, which is 10-20 times that of the general population.
After renal failure, hypertension, renal anemia, water overload, calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorders, secondary hyperparathyroidism, toxin accumulation, etc. will accelerate the induction of cardiovascular diseases, which can lead to acute onset and poor prognosis, and can directly lead to death.
2. Infection
Transplant registry reports indicate that infection is the second leading cause of death in dialysis kidney friends.
Due to damage to the physiological defense barrier, toxin attack, anemia and other reasons, the immune function of uremia kidney patients is disordered, and it is very easy to develop respiratory tract and vascular access infections, which can lead to death in severe cases.
3. Electrolyte imbalance
The kidneys are the key organs for maintaining electrolyte balance in the body, and the kidney function of uremia kidney patients gradually weakens.
Electrolyte imbalance is one of the main symptoms during this period, such as hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, etc., and the kidney will be seriously damaged due to this symptom, resulting in abnormal functions such as urination and detoxification, and eventually cause symptoms of severe physical lesions.
4. Severe anemia
Some studies have pointed out that the incidence of renal anemia in dialysis nephrophilia is as high as 50%.
Anemia is one of the most common complications of uremia in kidney patients, which can significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular events and death, and seriously affect the life and quality of life of kidney patients.
5. Malnutrition
The incidence of dystrophy in mainland China was 30.0%~66.7%.
Uremia is often accompanied by decreased appetite and digestive problems, leading to malnutrition and body wasting.
Malnutrition will lead to a decrease in immunity, an increase in the risk of infection, tumors and other diseases, and will cause kidney friends to lose yellow muscles, fatigue, lack of energy, and poor quality of life, which is one of the factors that accelerate death.
2. How to delay the final outcome of uremia?
1. Standardize treatment
Standardized medication and regular dialysis treatment methods are essential to delay the progression of the disease.
2. Dietary conditioning
Choose foods high in phosphorus, potassium, salt and water carefully, and maintain the balance of electrolytes in the body.
3. Infection prevention
Pay attention to hygiene practices to prevent the occurrence of infection, and treat existing infections in a timely manner.
4. Monitor for complications
Regularly monitor cardiovascular conditions and blood indicators to detect and manage complications in a timely manner.
5. Psychological support
Calm down, uremia is not terrible, what is terrible is the lack of confidence in the face of the disease, if the confidence is gone, the disease will swallow you up.
6. Anal transplantation
Under the current medical conditions, it is common for kidney patients who choose kidney transplantation or dialysis to survive for 20 to 30 years, and there are also those who live for more than 40 years.
In the face of illness, you must follow the doctor's arrangement, take medicine on time, have regular check-ups, and maintain a good and positive attitude to face the disease, I believe that your life will be equally wonderful.
