Patient's question:
My grandfather is 60 years old this year. He has been feeling unwell recently and has been urging him to go to the hospital for a thorough examination, but he just refuses to go. The family is very worried. What is the fastest way to self-diagnose kidney failure?Doctor's answer:
Kidney failure is mainly caused by chronic diseases. Patients with a history of illness should pay more attention. Especially when symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, headache, fatigue, nocturia, oliguria, edema, or hypertension gradually reappear, patients should be more vigilant. Patients should undergo more physical examinations. When most patients have hypertension, anemia, or dull complexion, edema in the face or lower limbs, mental disorders, and ascites, attention should be paid.
