Patient's question:
My grandfather is sixty years old this year. Last week, he went to the hospital for a thorough physical examination and found that he had mild uremia, accompanied by restless leg syndrome. The family is very scared and doesn't understand this at all, so they want to ask the doctor what the symptoms of uremia and restless leg syndrome are.Doctor's answer:
Mainly, it is the discomfort in the lower limbs during deep sleep at night that affects deep sleep. For uremia, it is recommended to visit the urology department of a hospital as early as possible. The doctor will improve relevant tests based on the patient's symptoms and medical history, such as: renal function tests, urinalysis, blood tests, and magnetic resonance imaging of the urinary system, to confirm the diagnosis. Generally, diuretics and medications to protect kidney function are prescribed for treatment, and hemodialysis may be performed if necessary. In daily life, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods, and eat more vegetables, fruits, and other vitamin-rich foods.
