Inducements of Kidney Failure in Young Adults
Healthy kidneys can filter excess fluid, minerals and other waste products through urine. They can also regulate the electrolytes and the levels of fluid in the body. Furthermore, the kidneys produce hormones that control other body functions such as blood pressure, bone maintenance, and the production of red blood cells. When the nephrons are damaged, the kidneys can not function properly, thus causing the build up of fluids and waste in the blood stream. This is called kidney failure. Then what arethe inducements of kidney failure in young adults?
Inducement one: Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) refers to a genetic disorder of renal cyst formation, which is characterized by the appearance of numerous small cysts in bilateral kidneys. There are two kinds of PKD which are called autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. The latter is common in both children and adults, but it most often presents in young adults. Without early detection and prompt treatment, patients may deteriorate into kidney failure stage finally.
Inducement two: IgA Nephropathy
IgA Nephropathy refers to the deposition of IgA immune complex in the glomeruli, which takes hematuria or proteinuria as the first sign. However, the disease may go unnoticed due to it often stays asymptomatic for many years. Berger’s disease can occur in people of all ages but is prone to young adults. The disease may take several years to progress to end-stage kidney failure, so early treatment of IgA Nephropathy becomes the critical point to protect your kidneys.
Inducement three: anti-glomerular basement membrane disease
It is a rare but severe condition that results in glomerulonephritis, or acute or chronic inflammatory gloneruli. The disease affects mostly young men but also occurs in women, children and older people. Patients with this disease may progress to end-stage kidney failure rapidly, so early detection and treatment is of great importance.
The above are three inducements of kidney failure. Patients must not neglect these inducements and receive prompt treatment to prevent your disease from progress into Renal Failure.
