Renal edema

Renal edema refers to the phenomenon of excess fluid caused by kidney disease in the tissue gap or body cavity. Edema is a very common symptom of kidney disease. For many patients with kidney disease, they initially come to the hospital for treatment that is derived from inexplicable edema and then knowing that they are suffering from kidney disease. Renal edema

The cause of renal edema
Renal edema is generally divided into two categories:
1. Glomerular filtration rate decreased, while the renal tubular reabsorption of edema is still good, resulting in water and sodium retention. This situation more common in patients with nephritis.
2. A large number of protein loss from the urine, resulting in lower plasma osmotic pressure, water from the bureaucratic into the tissue gap, causing edema. This is more common in nephrotic syndrome.
Renal edema symptoms
Renal edema is a major feature of kidney disease, often with the aggravation of kidney disease increased. Renal edema will first occur in the eyes, facial and ankle and other parts of the loose tissue. When severe, edema can involve the lower limbs and the body. In addition, renal edema often refers to the concave edema that is used to suppress the local skin can be depressed.

Swelling and Kidney Disease

Renal edema treatment
1. Limit the intake of protein and water
Reduce protein leakage. Intake of protein less, natural protein leakage will be reduced, osmotic pressure decreased, edema to be alleviated. But this method only helps to avoid worsening the kidneys and can not repair the damaged kidney tissue, so it is not the fundamental solution. In addition, long-term protein deficiency can cause malnutrition, low immunity, so this method can not be used as a fundamental treatment.
2. Use diuretics to diuretic
Diuretics can promote water discharge and ease edema, and can relieve hypertension and reduce heart load. Although diuretics are effective, but also can not repair kidney damage, so it is not a long-term fundamental solution.
3. Limit moisture and salt intake
Salt rich in nano-ions, excessive intake of salt will not only increase the retention of sodium water, but also cause high blood pressure, so limiting salt and water intake can help relieve symptoms of renal edema.
4. Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is currently the world's most advanced method of treating kidney disease. Immunotherapy deals with protein leakage by repairing damaged glomerular filtration membranes. So immunotherapy can fundamentally treat renal edema.
Renal edema not only affects the normal life of patients with kidney disease, but also increase the kidney condition, so the timely treatment of renal edema can help slow the development of kidney disease to uremia.
