Kidney disease: early symptoms easy to overlook

In general, if the kidney damage, abnormal structure or function of the kidney, greater than 3 months, with or without the GFR (glomerular filtration rate) decreased indicator, an exception, or indicators of renal damage as long as there pathology (blood, urine component imaging abnormalities or abnormal) can judge for chronic kidney disease.
Diagnosis of chronic kidney disease
Kidney disease is often mild symptoms in the early years, it is easy to be overlooked, if found to have the following symptoms should seek medical advice as soon as possible: ① increased frequency of urination, urgency and dysuria; ② blood in the urine; increased urination ③ bubble; ④ eyelid and lower extremity edema; ⑤ waist pain without trauma; ⑥ hypertension; ⑦ unexplained anemia; ⑧ loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, and check the normal gastrointestinal function; ⑨ nocturia.
Some kidney patients get early treatment for two reasons: First, the failure of early detection, and some symptoms of chronic nephritis is hidden, if it is found to have entered the chronic renal failure. The second is suffering from kidney disease, lack of awareness of the dangers of the disease, ignoring the early treatment, delay treatment.

Cause of chronic kidney disease
Overall, leading cause of chronic kidney disease suffer some because of primary nephrotic; either because of infection, such as hemolytic streptococcus, influenza virus, hepatitis B virus.

For high-risk groups, namely suffering kidney damage may cause disorders (such as hypertension, diabetes) population should be timely and effective treatment to prevent the occurrence of chronic kidney disease. Furthermore, it should be noted the positive control of risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, high uric acid, high cholesterol, obesity), adhere to drug therapy under the guidance of specialists; adhere to proper diet (low salt, low sugar, low fat, low-purine); regular monitor changes in blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipids, blood uric acid, urine and other indicators.
