Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've been experiencing some swelling in my body. I feel weak all over. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's kidney disease. Could you please tell me what are the clinical manifestations of chronic kidney failure in the uremic stage?Doctor's answer:
Chronic kidney failure, in the uremic stage, is generally clinically manifested as primarily electrolyte and acid-base balance disorders, anemia, bleeding tendency, and hypertension. It can also lead to dysfunction of the respiratory system and recurrence of fluid and metabolic balance disorders in the body. It may also cause severe symptoms in the nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and other systems. In the nervous system, symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, and fatigue may occur. In the gastrointestinal system, symptoms such as increased absorption, nausea, and vomiting may appear. In the cardiovascular system, severe symptoms such as persistent hypertension, arrhythmia, and heart failure may occur.
