During the onset of renal failure, the renal function of patients can be greatly damaged. In addition, patients often develop severe symptoms, posing a comprehensive threat to their health. The following is an introduction to the multiple complications of renal failure to help you more clearly understand the specific hazards of renal failure.
Infection is one of the most frequent complications in patients, often seen in highly decomposable acute renal failure caused by severe trauma, burns, etc.
Cardiovascular system complications are also common in patients with renal failure clinically, including heart rhythm disorders, heart failure, pericarditis, hypertension, and so on.
Neurological complications are also common among patients, with specific manifestations such as headache, constant sleeplessness, muscle twitches, coma, and epilepsy. Neurological complications are related to toxin retention in the body, water intoxication, electrolyte disorder and acid-base imbalance.
Digestive system complications are characterized by patients who have no appetite for anything to eat, and often experience nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, hematemesis, or bloody stool. Bleeding is mostly caused by gastrointestinal mucosal erosion or stress ulcers.
Hematological complications are also extremely harmful to patients, and they occur in almost all patients with renal failure. "Due to a sharp decline in renal function, erythropoietin can be reduced, leading to anemia, but most are not severe.". A few cases may have a bleeding tendency due to reduced coagulation factors.
Through the introduction of the above content, we have a comprehensive and specific understanding of the complications of renal failure patients. These complications can cause great health hazards to patients, so renal failure patients must be promptly diagnosed and treated to avoid complications.
