Patient's question:
Recently, my appetite has been poor, and I've also noticed some swelling in my body. I feel completely exhausted. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was kidney disease. Could you please tell me which department I should go to for a uremia test?Doctor's answer:
Uremia is mostly caused by various factors such as kidney diseases, excessive blood loss from trauma, and the use of certain medications, leading to the failure of kidney function. If not treated actively, it can endanger life and result in recurrent near-death situations. If you suspect you have uremia, you must not be careless or complacent. You should promptly go to the hospital for a follow-up examination and thorough check-up to confirm the diagnosis and start active treatment. When getting tested for uremia at the hospital, you should make an appointment with the nephrology department.
