Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constantly weak and a bit loss of appetite. When I came down in the morning, my mouth was dry and sticky. I went to the hospital for a thorough blood test and found that I'm slightly anemic. After researching online, I suspect I might have had kidney failure a few times. Do I have symptoms of kidney failure? If so, what are the early symptoms of kidney failure?Doctor's answer:
Kidney failure can cause abnormal urine output, initially frequent episodes of oliguria (low urine output), followed by frequent episodes of polyuria (high urine output). To thoroughly examine the problem with the kidneys, blood tests alone are insufficient; additional tests such as renal function tests and kidney ultrasound are necessary.In daily life, it is important to enhance nutritional intake and consume more fruits and vegetables to boost vitamin levels and improve iron absorption. Foods rich in iron, such as jujubes (red dates), black fungus (), meat, pork liver, and chicken liver, can be consumed in appropriate amounts to increase iron intake.
