Uremia is a kind of severe kidney disease. In the daily life, if we know the
root of the Uremia and make a correct prevention, we may avoid Uremia
occurrence. So what is the cause of inducing Uremia? The experts in Beijing
Yumei Kidney Disease Hospital give the following explanation:
No.1, HIV
According to research, the Uremia which is caused by HIV infection has an
increasing trend, accounting for about 1%.
No.2.Age
Kidney structure and function will appear obvious degenerative change with
the age. In the normal condition, the kidneys have a strong compensation. Even
the kidneys have been damaged about 50%, it can still maintain the normal life.
For example, if people just have one kidney, he can still have a healthy life.
However, with the age increasing, the body’ reservation is weak until complete
loss. Under the condition with additional burden, the kidney function can meet
the requirement of basic life. But it is unable to manage the sudden damage and
diseases.So, for the elder people, once they appear accident, it is easy to lead
to further kidney damage and develop to Uremia, such as infection, catching a
cold, losing blood, water shortage, renal toxic drugs, other diseases and so on,
all these factors can be the inducement of Uremia for elder people.
No.3, Drug Toxicity
Different levels of drugs side-effect can also result in Uremia. Recently,
about 25% patients with kidney failure is related with drugs toxicity.
No.4 Infection
Most Uremia can be caused by urinary system infection or urinary tract
infection. it can affect all people, especial for women of childbearing. So all
patients with kidney disease should try to avoid infection in the daily
life.
No.5 Other Kidney Diseases.
Although there are many factors can lead to Uremia, the kidney disease is the
most common one, because Uremia is the end of all Chronic Kidney Disease. Among
all these kidney diseases, Chronic Nephritis is the primary cause.
6. Diabetes.
For patients with Diabetes, if the glucose can’t be controlled well, it will
result in Uremia. Most patients with Diabetes will have Uremia at the later
stage.
7. Hypertension (high blood pressure)
About 15% hypertension will directly progress to Uremia. Because long-term
high blood pressure will lead to kidney damage and then occur to Hypertensive
Uremia
The experts suggests: if patients have kidney disease, they should treat it
early and timely. And they should choose the professional kidney disease
hospital or take medicine under the expert’s guidelines.

Is Lower Back Pain Indicating Kidney Problem?
Lower back pain is a common signs of kidney disease. When people feel that
they have lower back pain, they think it is kidney problem. Is lower back pain
indicating kidney problem? The experts in Beijing Yumei Kidney Disease Hospital
tell us:
Patients with kidney disease often have lower back pain. For example, when patients have Acute Pyelonephritis, kidney emboli, Obstructive Kidney Disease, rapid enlargement of kidney and suppurative inflammation around kidneys, they will appear violent lower back pain. But not all patients with kidney problem will have this symptom, such as Acute and Chronic Nephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome and so on, they often just have slight discomfort or soreness of waist; few of them appear violent lower back pain. In addition, other disease can also lead to lower back pain, such as lumbar muscle strain, lumbar hyperosteogeny, lumber sprain and women’s pelvic lesions (pelvic inflammation, annexitis and so on). So not all lower back pains are indicating kidney problem. Patients should go to hospital to take examination to confirm the reason.

High BUN Level
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) is the final metabolic product of protein in the
body. It is mainly excreted through glomerular filtration. The value of BUN can
reflect the condition of kidney function.
For the normal people, the fasting BUN is 3.2-7.1 mmol/L (9-20mg/dL). If people have kidney lesion， such as Glomerulonephritis, Interstitial Nephritis, Acute and Chronic Kidney Failure, kidney destructive lesion, all these diseases can lead to BUN increasing. There are also many other factors except for kidney factors leading to BUN increasing. If it can exclude other factors, the BUN 21.4 mmol/L (60mg/dL) will be one of the indicators for Uremia.
For patients, there are two conditions of high BUN level. The most common is kidney insufficiency, including Acute Kidney Insufficiency and Chronic Kidney Insufficiency. The first reason is because of kidney damage, BUN can’t be eliminated with Urine, and a part of patients with Acute Nephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome can also appear transient BUN increasing, mainly in serious swelling. Because little urination lead to no discharge of BUN with urine, and these BUN will accumulate in the blood.

High Serum Creatinine Level
Serum creatinine is the metabolic product of muscle. It is mainly removed
through glomerular filtration. When the serum creatinine is higher than the
normal range, it indicates that kidney function has been damaged. Kidney damage
will lead to serum creatinine unable to discharge from the body, which will make
serum creatinine increasing.
When the kidney is damaged, the renal cells will appear inflammation, and the glomerular filtration will become weak. The serum creatinine is unable to discharge from the body through kidneys, and it will accumulate in the blood, resulting in serum creatinine increasing. At the same time, patients also have high blood pressure, severe swelling and other symptoms. So, when serum creatinine is increasing in the test reports, patients should go to hospital to find the reason, and receive the correct treatment, which can prevent further kidney damage.
