There are many reasons why patients with chronic kidney failure experience vomiting. To alleviate vomiting, it is first necessary to clarify the cause of vomiting. Generally, if vomiting is caused by an excess of toxins, dialysis treatment may be needed at this time. If it is due to chronic gastritis, drugs that protect the gastric mucosa are needed. Additionally, if it is due to electrolyte disorders, it is essential to correct the electrolyte disturbance to alleviate the symptoms of vomiting. Furthermore, if the vomiting is caused by an infection leading to gastroenteritis, anti-infection drugs are required. Also, some patients with chronic kidney failure may experience nausea and vomiting due to very high blood pressure, which can lead to increased intracranial pressure; in this case, it is necessary to control the blood pressure and reduce intracranial pressure.

Chronic Renal Failure Replacement Therapy

Chronic kidney failure is the irreversible loss of nephron units and kidney function caused by the progressive progression of chronic kidney disease, leading to a clinical syndrome characterized by the retention of metabolic products and toxins, disturbances in electrolyte and acid-base balance, and endocrine disorders. Chronic kidney failure often progresses to end-stage kidney disease, and the late stage of chronic kidney failure is called the uremic stage. After entering the uremic stage, renal replacement therapy is often required, with the main methods being hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation.

early symptoms of chronic renal failure

Patients with chronic kidney failure often do not have any specific discomfort or noticeable symptoms in the early stages. However, some patients may exhibit clinical signs, such as edema, due to the kidneys' reduced ability to excrete water, or hypoproteinemia, which leads to a decrease in plasma colloid osmotic pressure, resulting in edema in the lower limbs or eyelids, and facial swelling. Patients may also experience visible blood in the urine, increased urinary foam, and chronic kidney failure often accompanies high blood pressure. Such patients may also suffer from mild renal anemia, hyperkalemia, and other clinical manifestations.

What medicine is used for chronic renal failure?

The treatment of chronic renal failure primarily requires identifying the cause and treating it accordingly. Chronic renal failure refers to the state in which various diseases damage the kidneys, leading to the destruction of kidney tissue and resulting in the kidneys' inability to adequately excrete metabolic waste, causing an accumulation of such wastes in the body. There are no medications that can directly affect the kidneys, regenerate kidney tissue, and restore kidney function. Currently, medicine cannot achieve this, and there are no specific drugs for the treatment. Therefore, the treatment of chronic renal failure focuses on treating the primary disease to slow the progression of renal failure. For example, chronic renal failure caused by diabetes necessitates the use of insulin to control blood sugar, while patients with hypertension need to use antihypertensive drugs.

Principles of Treatment for Chronic Renal Failure

The principles of treatment for chronic renal failure include early-stage non-dialysis conservative treatment as well as end-stage renal replacement therapy. Non-dialysis conservative treatment includes delaying the progression of kidney damage, which requires treating the primary disease, implementing nutritional support, and controlling factors that accelerate kidney disease progression, such as controlling high blood pressure, proteinuria, and hyperlipidemia. Additionally, it is necessary to eliminate metabolic waste from the body, and maintain the body's water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. Renal replacement therapy includes hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplant therapy.

What are the symptoms of chronic kidney failure?

Chronic kidney failure generally may have some clinical symptoms, but many patients do not have any discomfort. Some common clinical symptoms mainly include increased urine foam and decreased urine output. Due to the decline in renal function for urine excretion, it can lead to edema, particularly in areas such as both ankles and the face. In the state of renal failure, patients may also experience hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis. Due to metabolic acidosis, patients might exhibit deep and labored breathing. In the advanced stages of kidney failure, patients may suffer from renal anemia, leading to fatigue and potentially experiencing bone pain and susceptibility to fractures due to renal osteodystrophy.
