Top 10 Chronic Renal Failure Symptoms You should Know

Chronic Renal Failure(CRF) also called Chronic Kidney Failure describes a gradual loss of renal function. Top 10 Symptoms of Chronic Kidney Failure are as below:
1. Gastrointestinal Symptoms
Gastrointestinal performance is the earliest and most common symptoms, and they would aggravate the condition of Chronic Renal Failure. Early symptoms of patients are poor appetite, a feeling of fullness; vomiting, nausea, hiccup or diarrhea occurs afterwards; in those patients with advanced Chronic Renal Failure, urinary stink in mouth along with oral mucosal erosion or ulcer, swollen parotid gland or even with serious digestive tract bleeding occur. Chronic Renal Failure often develops with gastritis, duodenitis or ulcer.
2. Mental or nervous system
Asthenia, dizziness, attention-deficit disorder, hypomnesis or somnipathy etc. in early stage; and after that, indifference, taciturnity, disturbance of consciousness or unconscious limbs movement etc. appear; uremic encephalopathy occurs in the end-stage of Chronic Renal Failure, symptoms are drowsiness, deliration, delusion, stupor, gatism or even coma etc.
3. Blood system
Anemia occurs in most patients as serum creatinine increases. Bleeding is also pretty common including subcutaneous bleeding, epistaxis, menorrhagia, digestive tract bleeding or clotting factors dysfunction etc. Numeration of leukocytes is usually normal while some cases have decreasing in granulocytes or lymphocytes.
4. Cardiovascular system
Hypertension occurs pretty frequently with uneven degrees, but normally the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure increase without exception, while in certain severe cases, hypertensive encephalopathy occurs. Other severe symptoms include uremic pericarditis, uremic myocardiopathy, heart failure or ischemic heart disease and so on.
5. Respiratory tract
Patients with metabolic acidosis often have shortness of breath or even Kussmaul respiration. Retention of metabolic materials along with immune hypofunction is easily complicated with respiratory tract infections, which cause bronchitis, pneumonia, pleurisy complicated with pleural effusion. Interstitial pneumonia is also common.
6. Motion system
Uremic myopathy coupled with renal osteodystrophy which is short for renal osteopathy. There are only few symptoms in clinic which includes skeletal pain or inconvenient walk.
7. Endocrine dyscrasia
Lacking of anaphrodisia or invirility occurs in men while menostasis or infertility in women.
8. Immune dysfunction
Septicemia easily develops as the occurrence of immune dysfunction.
9. Skin symptoms
Patients with sallow complexion, mild edema, dry skin, furfuration, reluster or chromatosis, refractory skin itch, petechia and so on.
10. Imbalance with water, electrolytes and acid-base
Dehydration or water intoxication
Hyponatremia or hypernatremia
Hyperkalemia or hypokalemia
Hypocalcemia or hyperphosphatemia
Hypermagnesemia
Metabolic acidosis
Chronic Renal Failure is the interaction results due to progression of primary and secondary renal diseases. CRF itself is also the pathological and physiological processes of progressive development, so CRF would inevitably develop to ESRF. Accordingly, to slow down CRF progression as well as to improve patients' life quality, with the purpose of postponing ESRF have become a focus of research.
