Renal failure is caused by the late development of some kidney diseases, leading to renal failure. Experts explain that there are many kidney diseases that cause renal failure, which can be summarized as infection, damage, metabolic abnormalities, and so on. Let's give a detailed introduction below.
1. Infections from various parts of the kidney: bacteria, viruses, molds, malaria parasites, etc. invade the renal interstitium and tubules, representing diseases such as chronic pyelonephritis. Malignant hernia, etc.
2. Immune damage: Common drug allergies such as penicillin and sulfanilamide, autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, and dermatomyositis involve the kidneys.
3. Toxic substance damage: such as aminoglycoside antibiotics, contrast agents that damage the kidneys, and heavy metal salts such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and gold that damage the kidneys.
4. Renal blood supply disorders: such as renal arteriosclerosis, renal artery stenosis, etc.
5. Metabolic abnormalities: such as hyperuricemia, hypercalcemia, long-term hypokalemia, etc.
6. Physical factors: long-term radiation, X-ray radiation for malignant tumors, etc.
7. Urinary tract obstruction: Obstruction causes urinary reflux in the bladder and ureter, which increases pressure in the renal pelvis and ureter and damages the renal interstitium. If combined with infection, the condition can be aggravated.
8. Tumor directly infiltrates the renal interstitium: such as leukemia, lymphoma, and metastasis of cancer cells causing renal interstitium damage.
9. Hereditary diseases: such as polycystic kidney disease and renal cyst.
The above is the cause of renal failure. Experts explain that patients with chronic kidney disease should be fully prepared to prevent renal failure, and do a good job of health care for renal failure in their daily diet and daily life.
