What is the cause of uremia?

The causes of uremia mainly include drug side effects, glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, etc., which can be controlled through drug treatment and dialysis treatment.

1. Side effects of drugs: Although drugs can treat diseases, overdose may induce diseases. Many clinical drugs have nephrotoxic effects, such as analgesics, chemotherapy drugs, etc. If they are frequently overused, symptoms and nephrotoxic reactions may not be seen in the short term, but after a period of time, chronic changes in the renal interstitium, glomeruli, etc. may occur. If the medication is not stopped in time or treated correctly, it may cause uremia and require long-term dialysis treatment.

2. Glomerulonephritis: Glomerular damage is accompanied by inflammation, which may be related to immune factors, infection factors, etc., and symptoms such as edema, proteinuria, and hematuria may occur. If not treated in time, as the disease continues to develop, glomerular endothelial cells and mesangial cells continue to proliferate, and a large amount of protein decomposition metabolites are retained, uremia may occur. Appropriate medication can be used under the guidance of a doctor, such as enalapril maleate folic acid tablets, benazepril hydrochloride tablets, etc. If dialysis indications have been met, dialysis treatment is required in a timely manner.

3. Diabetic nephropathy: It is a kidney disease caused by diabetes. When the disease enters the middle and late stages, symptoms such as hypertension, proteinuria, and edema will appear. If the disease is not effectively controlled, as the disease continues to develop, it may cause uremia. You can use appropriate medications according to the doctor's advice, such as insulin injection, glipizide tablets, etc., to reduce high sugar toxicity. Renal replacement therapy, such as peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, etc., can also be used.

In addition to the above reasons, it may also be related to renal arteriosclerosis, polycystic kidney disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc., and appropriate treatment methods need to be taken in time. In daily life, we also need to ensure good sleep and avoid heavy physical labor.
