kidney failure

Introduction

Introduction Kidney non-function means that the kidney loses urinary function, may have no clinical symptoms, and is diagnosed by imaging findings. Mainly through imaging examination (ultrasound imaging, intravenous urography, CT, MRI. renal angiography, renal biopsy, etc.). Mostly due to pyelonephritis, there are intermittent reactions to urinary tract irritation, generally lighter, not as acute as acute pyelonephritis, often accompanied by fatigue, loss of appetite, back pain, may have low fever or no fever. In the advanced stage, symptoms of uremia such as dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting may occur due to impaired renal function. There may also be polyuria, nocturia, hypokalemia, hyponatremia or chronic renal tubular acidosis. Some patients have hidden or atypical conditions and should pay attention. Kidney transplantation can also lead to kidney failure.
