Treatment for Kidneys Failure

Another cause of kidney damage is high blood pressure. Blood pressure is always a health problem but at young age it is extremely dangerous. If not timely taken care of, it may lead to kidney-damage. In young adults and children kidney-damage is caused either by diseases which develop anti-bodies or by birth defects in kidneys. Some diseases are hereditary such as polycystic kidneys. Sometimes blockage in urine flow, Urinary Tract Obstruction and recurring infection in it, may also result in kidney failure.

Disease Symptoms

What is the most problematic in this regard is that no symptom appears. Until kidneys are severely damaged, patient lives in comfort, oblivious to insidious demon. Loss of appetite, having no taste in food, weakness and blood shortage signify serious kidney-damage. Headache and vomiting is a sign of severe damage. It is really unfortunate that kidney-damage is diagnosed in third world countries when it is severe. In developing countries people generally know the damage in early stage as they have regular general check-ups. Often patients ask if there both kidneys have got damaged. In fact, when both kidneys fail, only then the damage counts, otherwise, man can live with one kidney normally and full of life.

Sudden damage of kidneys

If kidneys once fail due to prolonged complexities, it is impossible to recover them with allopathic treatment. Sometime kidneys suddenly fail. If patient enjoys normal health conditions with healthy kidneys before he suffers sudden failure, it takes six weeks to restore kidneys to healthy condition. Meanwhile, if kidneys stop functioning, not only complex treatment, monitoring and intensive care is required, but time being dialysis also needed to maintain the chemical and water balance of body. Symptoms of kidney failure do not appear, unless 80%-90% kidneys are damaged. Prior to it patient feels no problem in urinating or in routine life.

With additional damage weakness increases and patient gets nausea. Possible symptoms of kidney failure are: swelling around eyes or in whole body, panting and high blood pressure. Some people face urine obstruction. Weakness increases with loss of appetite and weight loss. Sometime weight increases in case water level rises and body swells, but body weakens from within. Body goes yellowish due to blood shortage. Little movement leaves a man out of breath feeling extreme weakness. When kidney function is reduced to less than 10 percent, increased level of body fluids causes vomiting and drowsiness. In such case dialysis becomes necessary or else patient falls unconscious and succumbs to death.

Symptoms

If a blood pressure patient or diabetic or anybody notices any of the following symptoms, he must consult a kidney specialist:

• Loss of appetite
• Memory weakness
• Nausea or Vomiting
• Irritability
• Fatigue, weakness, decreased level of blood and yellow face
• Dry skin or itching
• Discomfort
• Urine frequency at night or Urinary obstruction
• Insomnia
• Swelling on face, eyes, arms, legs or ankles
• Sugar or Protein emission with urine

Diagnosis

Kidneys failure can be easily diagnosed. The only thing required is complete urine test and two blood tests including Blood urea and Serum Creatinine, besides, ultrasound can confirm the shape and size of kidney. Completely failed kidneys shrink. Renal Scan is also an option to detect the problem.
