SYMPTOMS OF KIDNEY FAILURE

SYMPTOMS OF KIDNEY FAILURE

• At the beginning, kidney failure may be asymptomatic (producing no symptoms of anything). As kidney function decreases, symptoms associated with the inability to regulate balance-the balance of water and electrolyte-electrolyte, to remove waste products from the body, and promote the production of red blood cells. Lethargy, weakness, shortness of breath, and general swelling may occur. Circumstances that are not life threatening recognized or not treated can develop.
• Metabolic acidosis, or increase the acid from the body caused by the inability to produce bicarbonate, will change the metabolism of enzymes and oxygen, causing organ failure.
• Inability to remove potassium and potassium levels to rise in the serum (hyperkalemia) associated with disturbances of fatal heart rhythm or arrhythmia.
• The levels of urea which rises in the blood (uremia) can affect the function of many organs ranging from the brain (encephalopathy) with a change of thinking, to inflammation of the lining of the heart (pericarditis), the reduced muscle function because the levels Low calcium (hypocalcemia).
• the overall weakness can occur due to the anemia, a red blood cell count is reduced, because the level of low-level of erythropoietin was not exactly stimulate the bone marrow (bone marrow). A reduction in red cells with a reduction of oxygen-carrying capacity of blood, resulting in decreased oxygen delivery to cells for them to do the job; therefore, the body quickly tired of. So, too, with less oxygen, the cells more readily use anaerobic metabolism (an = without + aerobic = oxygen) leads to the amounts of increased acid production that can not be addressed by the kidneys have failed.
• When waste products accumulate in the blood, loss of appetite, lethargy, and fatigue became real. This will progress to the point where mental function is reduced, and coma may occur.
• Because the kidneys can not respond to the rising burden of acid in the body, breathing becomes faster when the lungs to try to prop up the acidity of the waste (breathing out) carbon dioxide. Blood pressure may rise because of excess fluid, and fluid can accumulate in the lungs, causing congestive heart failure (congestive heart failure).
