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. I was wondering if uremia causes frequent urination?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description of the issue, it is considered that uremic patients initially still have urine output. However, as the condition progresses, the function of glomerular filtration and tubular reabsorption gradually deteriorates, leading to a gradual increase in urine volume, ultimately resulting in anuria. Currently, nursing care should focus on ensuring adequate rest, advising medication adherence, conducting regular follow-up tests, monitoring changes in electrolyte levels, maintaining local dryness and cleanliness, and avoiding the indiscriminate use of medications.
