What Causes Uremia (CKD Stage 5)

Uremia is a kidney disorder which indicates kidney fails and excessive waste products such as uremia can not be discharged out of the body into urine. According to pathological damage, uremia equals chronic kidney disease stage 5. In this stage, GFR, which is short for glomerular filtration rate, falls to as low as less than 15, the normal range of which is 80 to 120, which indicates that there is little blood flowing into kidney. Consequently, symptoms will also appear such as sore mouth, fatigue, weakness, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, loss of energy, and so on. What’s worse, usually, people can not feel any symptoms. Once they are diagnosed with uremia, they have got into chronic kidney disease stage 5 because of the strong ability of kidney compensation which means that when some renal glomeruli are damaged, others will replace them to going on working. What causes uremia or chronic kidney disease stage 5?
1. high blood pressure or hypertension(High Blood Pressure and Kidney Disease)
Every year, high blood pressure causes more than 25,000 new cases of kidney failure in the United States. High blood pressure (hypertension) is really a leading cause of chronic kidney disease. If blood pressure is high, heart will work harder, which will damage blood vessels if it lasts for a long time including blood vessels in the kidney.
2. diabetes
Diabetes is another leading factor of uremia or chronic kidney disease stage 5, no matter type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes. Diabetes leads to high blood glucose, which will leads to high blood density, thus causing damage to the blood vessels including micro-blood vessels.
3. high protein diet or food
High protein diet or food will metabolize more urea finally, which leads to the uremia.
4. drugs or medications
Every drug or medication has side effect and will damage the body more or less. Long time application of drugs will damage kidney as well. Please read the instructions of medications carefully.
