Signs of renal failure are very diverse and can appear at different times of the day.However, if you often get nausea or vomit in the morning right after waking up, be careful because it may be a sign that the kidney is failing.
According to the information portal of the Southern Australian health sector - SA Health, when renal function decreased, toxins were accumulated in the body and not excreted.This can make the patient feel nauseous or vomiting.
According to information from Health Site, this may be a sign of kidney failure as soon as possible.If the patient has vomiting several times a day, accompanied by anorexia, which is a typical sign of end -stage renal failure.
Early signs of kidney failure warning
In addition to symptoms of vomiting or nausea, when waking up, here are early signs of kidney failure that people need to pay attention:
1. Swelling of the ankles, feet and lower legs
If you see signs of edema at ankle, lower legs, feet, be careful with kidney disease.When the kidney function begins to decline, it will affect the ability to remove liquid and sodium excess from the body.This causes the body to accumulate water and swelling in the lower legs, ankles, and feet.
2. Often feel tired
People with kidney failure will often feel tired.This symptom becomes worse when the disease reaches the stage of progression.Patients may feel tired or exhausted than usual and cannot perform exertion activities that need more rest.The accumulation of toxins in the blood due to impaired renal function is the cause of this sign.
3. Anorexia
The accumulation of toxins such as urea, creatinine and acid in the body due to impaired kidney filtering can cause anorexia patients.In addition, when the disease progresses, the patient may have more symptoms that always feel metal in the mouth.This symptom may also increase the feeling of anorexia in patients.
4. Pale skin, pale
Patients with renal failure often suffer from anemia with pale, pale skin manifestations;The body often feels tired and exhausted.Anemia in patients with renal impairment is a result of the decrease in erythropoietin - a bone marrow stimulating hormone producing red blood cells.The kidney has the function of producing this hormone.
5. Change the frequency of urination
Less or more urination, especially at night, is not related to the amount of water consumption may be a warning sign of damaged kidneys, the kidneys are failed.
6. Bloody urine or lots of foam
Bloody urine or foam can warn the damaged kidney function, red blood cells and proteins are leaked into the urine.
In addition to renal failure, bloody urine can also be a sign of kidney cancer, kidney stones or kidney/urinary infections.
7. Dry and itchy skin
Dry and itchy skin may be a sign that the kidneys are severely damaged.At this time, toxins are accumulated in the body, leading to itching, dry skin.
Who needs kidney failure?
Screening for early detection of kidney failure (Artwork)
According to the US National Kidney Organization, the risk factors of renal failure are:
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Family history of people with kidney failure
- 60 years or older
- History of acute kidney damage
Subjects carrying these risk factors need periodic renal failure with two simple tests:
- Urine test to determine the albumin/creatinin (ACR) ratio to detect albuminuria.
- Testing serum creatinine to estimate glomerular filtration index (GFR)
The screening will help early detect kidney failure to have a timely intervention, preserve the kidney function as well as the health and quality of the patient's life.
