Hemodialysis for end-stage chronic renal failure

Chronic kidney disease causes the kidneys of the patient to gradually lose the function of filtering the blood, eliminating toxins in the blood from the body. People with end-stage chronic kidney failure must undergo dialysis to compensate for this deficiency in function and slow the progression of the disease.

Most kidney diseases progress fairly quickly. The disease will attack the nephrons, the smallest filtering units of the kidney, reducing the filtering function of the blood, gradually losing this function and becoming end stage chronic kidney disease. The main causes of end-stage chronic kidney failure are high blood pressure and diabetes. People with high blood pressure will increase the pressure in the small blood vessels of the kidneys, causing damage to the kidney blood vessels, affecting the filtering function of the blood.
Patients with diabetes will not be able to properly resolve blood glucose, blood sugar is always high, long-term will damage the kidneys.
In addition to the two main causes mentioned above, there are also a few other causes leading to end-stage chronic kidney failure such as:
Bladder - ureteral reflux Glomerulonephritis Long-term urinary tract obstruction Prostate enlargement excessive Congenital abnormalities of the abdomen Certain types of cancer...

Subjects at high risk of end-stage chronic disease than the general population include:
Diabetic patients Patients with high blood pressure Patients with kidney diseases such as: kidney stones, polycystic kidney, inflammation interstitial kidney disease, pyelonephritis... People with close relatives with end-stage chronic renal failure Rapid decline in kidney function is a sign of the onset of end-stage chronic renal failure.

Decreased urine output Gradual loss of ability to urinate Fatigue, loss of strength, irritability Headache, dizziness Nausea, vomiting Loss of appetite Rapid weight loss Dry, itchy skin Bone pain Difficulty concentrating, easy confusion Easy bruising on the skin Frequent nosebleeds Numbness in the limbs Bad breath Or thirst Or hiccups Women with irregular periods Decreased sex drive Restless legs syndrome, sleep problems Swelling edema of both feet and hands If there are abnormal symptoms mentioned above, the patient should go to the doctor as soon as possible for timely diagnosis and treatment, minimizing the effects and complications.

Diagnosis of end-stage chronic renal failure is based on the following tests:
Urinalysis: Measures protein in the blood and urine. If there are abnormal protein components, it means that there is a problem with the kidneys. Serum creatinine test : Check for the presence of creatinine in the blood. This is a type of waste that the kidneys are supposed to remove from the body. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test: Measures the concentration of urea nitrogen in the blood. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR): To calculate the glomerular filtration rate.

To treat end-stage chronic kidney disease, patients need dialysis or dialysis or a kidney transplant. Some cases can also be effectively treated with just the right lifestyle changes.
Patients need to strictly follow the treatment regimen of the doctor, take the right dose. If the patient has high blood pressure or diabetes, it is important to control the condition to prevent end-stage chronic kidney failure.

End stage chronic kidney failure is very dangerous. The inability to filter toxins and wastes out of the body causes toxins to accumulate, threatening the patient's life. However, with prompt and aggressive treatment, the patient's life can be prolonged. If left untreated, patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease can die after only a few months of the disease, or even less if there are other comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes. ..
It is important for the patient to control blood sugar and blood pressure at a stable level. These are two factors that greatly affect the status of end-stage chronic kidney disease.
Dialysis, dialysis, kidney transplant will help patients have positive changes. Consult with your doctor, family member to be able to choose the right treatment method.
