The Symptoms of Chronic Kidney Failure

Kidney Failure Symptoms 
Because the causes and stage of disease are different from every patient, the symptoms will also be different. A better understanding on the symptoms of Chronic Kidney Failure can help patients make a better effective prevention and take a timely treatment. In order to achieve an effective therapeutic effect, patients should take the disease seriously.

The symptoms of Chronic Kidney Failure can be shown as the following aspects.

1. The manifestations of central nervous system.

When the blood urea nitrogen is more than 60meddl, people may have aprosexia, tiredness and the decline of memory. With the continuous decoration of kidney function, people may appear unconsciousness, drowsiness, hallucination and ataxia, etc.

2. The manifestations of metabolism and internal system.

Patients with Chronic Renal Failure may have the abnormal of impaired glucose tolerance. The main reason may be the effect of urine toxins. The urine toxins can lead to pancreas P-cells release less insulin and the decline reaction of peripheral tissues to insulin.

3. The manifestations of blood system.

The anemia degree of Uremia patients is related with the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Patients in Uremia stage are easy to have epistaxis, gingival bleeding and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Serious ones can even have cerebral hemorrhage or subdural hemorrhage.

4. The manifestations of digestive system.

In the early stage of Chronic Kidney Failure, patients may lose the appetite or have dysgeusia. In the Uremia stage, patients may have symptoms like vomiting, nausea and diarrhea and some serious complications like haematemesis and hematochezia. In addition, the urotoxin may diffuse into the digestive tract, and then the decomposition effect of bacterial caused by urea will lead to the increase of ammonium in gastrointestinal tract, finally causing gastrointestinal inflammation and ulcer.

5. The manifestations of cardiovascular system.

Almost 80% to 90% of patients in end-stage of Renal Failure may have Hypertension. Uremia patients always have acute pulmonary edema. People may breath difficultly when do exercise in the mild stage while they may have hemoptysis and expectoration in the severe condition.

6. The manifestations of respiratory system.

Patients in Uremia stage may get hyoxemia. The increase of lungs’ hydrostatic pressure and the increase permeability of blood capillary can cause lung edema, thus leading to uremia lung.

7. The manifestations of muscle and skeletal system.

Chronic Kidney Failure patients may have myasthenia, amyotrophy and osteodystrophy in the Uremia stage.

8. Abnormal Immune system manifestations.

Uremia patients may are easily to get infections, like influenza, tuberculosis or virus hepatitis, etc. The occurrence rate of cancer is much higher than other people. In addition, Uremia patients have a bad reaction on vaccine inoculation. The transplant rejection reaction also decreases obviously.

9. Other clinical symptoms.

Patients in uremia can present the abnormal in water, electrolyte and acid-metabolism, such as hyperkalemia, hyponatremia and metabolic acidosis and other clinical manifestations.


With the continuous development of science and technology, Chinese Medicine in treating Chronic Kidney Failure has formed a series of advanced therapeutic method. The characteristic treatment can block the process of kidney fibrosis and repair the kidney intrinsic cells. Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital has achieved an effective therapeutic effect clinically.
