The kidneys play a critical role in the body by filtering waste products, regulating blood pressure, and balancing various elements in the blood. However, various factors can cause kidney failure and lead to the onset of kidney disease.
Some causes of kidney disease include severe hypothermia, neoplasms of tumor type, excessive alcohol consumption, an imbalanced daily diet leading to calcium stone formation, abuse of certain medications, presence of infectious foci in the body, decreased filtration function due to rapid weight loss, constant fatigue and lack of proper rest, associated oncological diseases, overfilled bladder, digestive system disorders, and presence of infections with pus discharge in the body.
The most common kidney diseases include pyelonephritis, acute and chronic renal failure, glomerulonephritis, and urolithiasis. Pyelonephritis is caused by infection and often occurs simultaneously with diabetes or kidney stones. Symptoms include a rise in temperature, lower back pain, and cloudy urine. Renal failure can lead to poisoning by waste products, and bilateral renal failure is especially life-threatening.
Most kidney diseases containing "nephritis" in their name are characterized by the development of an inflammatory process in the kidney tissue. Glomerulonephritis is characterized by damage to the filtration glomeruli that clean the urine. When inflammation occurs, antibodies attack the vessels of these glomeruli, leading to urine color changes and other symptoms.
The first signs of kidney disease may include feeling slightly chilly and experiencing some discomfort. It is recommended to take warm water and warm up the legs, wrap up, drink hot tea, warm up with mustard plasters, and sleep in a warm bed. Seeking advice and diagnosis from a specialist in a timely manner is crucial to correctly diagnose and prescribe effective treatment.
Symptoms of kidney disease include difficulty urinating or involuntary urination, discomfort when emptying, swelling of the face and legs, cystitis, frequent urge to urinate, unexplained loss of appetite, appearance of blood in the urine, rise in temperature and pressure. Sharp and aching pain radiating to the lower back may also be a sign.
A professional nephrologist can determine the severity of the disease and prescribe the correct treatment, which may involve drug therapy, antibiotics, and a specific diet to decrease protein and potassium levels in the body. Transplantation or complete removal may not always be necessary.
