Chronic kidney failure

Let’s get to know the kidneys and how important they are.

• The kidneys are shaped like beans.
• The location is in the row under the back frame. Both lumbar areas and outside the abdomen.
• Two kidneys are connected to the urethra and open in the bladder.
• Each kidney has 1 million kidney units, like a filter hole in a water filter.

4 Important functions of the kidneys

1. Produce urine to remove waste products from the body.

2. Eliminate toxins or certain drugs.

3. Produce hormones related to the production of red blood cells and vitamin D, which are important for bone formation.

4. Regulates blood acidity Regulates blood pressure, water and mineral balance.

Chronic kidney failure is a condition in which the kidneys continuously lose 4 main functions. There is a gradual decrease in kidney function, like a water filter that gradually clogs.

• An ultrasound showed that the kidney size was smaller.

Severe stage of chronic kidney failure

Divided by renal filtration rate, there are 5 stages.

Stage 1: Filtration rate > of 90 kidneys begins to be abnormal

Stage 2: Filtration rate 60-89 Chronic kidney disease in the early stage

Stage 3: Filtration rate 30-59 Chronic kidney disease

Stage 4: Filtration rate 15-29 Severe chronic kidney disease

Stage 5: Filtration <rate 15 End-stage chronic renal failure is the stage that should be treated with kidney replacement therapy [dialysis].
