YOGYAKARTA Kidneys are organs that function to maintain the balance of the electrolyte liquid, produce hormones, and filter poison compounds from the blood. When the kidneys experience a decrease in function or kidney failure, this can cause a buildup of toxins and impurities in the blood. As a result, a person will be more at risk of developing various health problems. So, what are the characteristics of early-stage kidney failure? Let's find out the answer in the following review.
Summarized from various sources, the following are the characteristics of early stage kidney failure that need to be known:
The characteristics or symptoms of early stage kidney failure are dizziness, fatigue, and weakness. These symptoms arise because there is a buildup of poison in the blood.
In addition, this complaint can also be caused by the low production of red blood cells due to the decrease in hormone production by the kidneys, so that the sufferers experience anemia.
Uncontrolled hypertension or high blood pressure also includes early-stage kidney failure.
Hypertension can damage small arteries in the kidneys, inhibit blood flow to the kidneys, and disrupt the ability of the kidneys to carry out their functions properly. As a result, the kidneys may not be able to filter waste and fluids effectively.
The characteristic of early stage kidney failure that is often experienced by sufferers is nausea. In cases of kidney failure, these symptoms can be caused by various things, ranging from uremia, stomach muscle disorders, ulcus, GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), or side effects of drugs.
Diseases of kidney failure can cause a buildup of fluids and salt in the body, because the kidneys cannot dispose of them efficiently. The accumulation of this liquid can cause swelling in the body's tissue, especially in lower areas such as the legs.
The next characteristic of early stage kidney failure is the increasing frequency of urination at night, especially when accompanied by other symptoms such as foam urine or color change.
This complaint occurs because the kidneys experience a decrease in function of not being able to filter the blood efficiently so that excessive fluids and waste remain in the body.
The change in urine is one of the main signs of early stage kidney failure. In this phase, the sufferer may experience changes such as foam urine or the urine color turns darker than usual.
One function of the kidneys is to ensure that the intake of minerals in the blood is met. Well, when the kidney function decreases, the intake of minerals in the blood will decrease. As a result, the skin feels itching and dry.
In the early stages, someone who has kidney failure will experience weight loss. This condition is caused by nausea and loss of appetite.
Reduction in kidney function can lead to buildup of toxins in the blood. In medical, this condition is referred to as uremia. Well, uremia will make the food consumed feel metal-like.
