The Critical Importance of Early Detection Uremia, a life-threatening clinical syndrome resulting from severe renal unit damage, disrupts metabolic waste excretion and water-electrolyte balance. Early diagnosis and intervention are paramount,…
What Are Uremic Toxins? Research has identified over 200 metabolic byproducts and toxic substances in the plasma of uremic patients, many of which contribute to clinical symptoms—collectively termed uremic toxins. Sources…
Etiology Renal syncope results from severe kidney dysfunction, leading to renal qi depletion, impaired fluid metabolism, and accumulation of uremic toxins that ascend to cloud mental consciousness. It manifests as a syncopal…
Etiology (1) CausesThis condition is a severe complication of chronic renal failure, classified into: Uremic pericarditis: Occurs in untreated end-stage renal disease. Dialysis-associated pericarditis: Develops during maintenance dialysis. (2) PathogenesisMultiple…
Synonyms:Uremic heart disease, uremic myocardial disease Etiology (1) CausesChronic renal failure (CRF) stems from primary kidney diseases or systemic conditions like diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, and rheumatic disorders, which concurrently…
Synonyms:Uremic pneumonia in the elderly, uremic lung in the elderly, uremic pulmonary edema in the elderly Etiology (1) CausesThe lungs, as vital organs interfacing with both external and internal environments,…
Uremia, resulting from acute or chronic renal failure, is characterized by the accumulation of metabolic waste products, electrolyte imbalances, endocrine dysfunction, and systemic toxicity. As the condition progresses, symptoms intensify…
Uremia occurs when nitrogenous waste products and other toxins accumulate in the body due to impaired renal excretion, leading to disturbances in fluid-electrolyte and acid-base balance, as well as multi-organ…
Uremic encephalopathy refers to a spectrum of neurological and psychiatric symptoms caused by central nervous system damage due to uremia. Key manifestations include: Clinical Features Psychiatric symptoms: Fatigue, poor concentration, apathy…
Although dialysis and kidney transplantation are highly effective treatments for chronic renal failure, only 10-20% of uremia patients in China currently have access to these therapies. The remaining 80-90% rely on non-dialysis treatments, which…
