Patient's question:
Experts, hello, my father is 45 years old this year. I don't know what's going on, he has kidney deficiency. I heard that kidney deficiency can lead to uremia, and we are a bit worried. Today, I want to ask you several times, will kidney deficiency lead to uremia?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, kidney deficiency will never lead to uremia. However, if there are pre-existing kidney problems, such as chronic nephritis or nephrotic syndrome, accompanied by symptoms of kidney deficiency, there may be a possibility of developing uremia. But in this case, the uremia is not caused by kidney deficiency. Therefore, if a patient has kidney deficiency, it does not necessarily mean they have uremia. Kidney deficiency is generally based on symptoms like soreness and weakness in the waist and knees. In such cases, it is advisable to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and take some herbal medicine to help regulate the condition.
