Nearly 3 million French people are affected by kidney failure. The three major causes are hypertension, diabetes mellitus and longer life. Thus we understand why this disease is growing rapidly, with an increased incidence of 5 to 7% each year.
Chronic renal failure is the irreversible loss of kidney function, resulting from progressive destruction of functional units called nephrons of the kidney, which oversee the work of excretion and secretion. The first signs of kidney failure appear when there are one-third of functioning nephrons. An estimated 2.8 million the number of French affected to varying degrees. For some, the change will be a failure to end will justify the assumption by a replacement therapy, dialysis or kidney transplant. More than 50,000 people have ESRD: 30,800 are treated by dialysis and 20,400 received a kidney transplant. Causes Three major causes were identified: hypertension, diabetes type 2 (25% of renal dialysis) and the aging population. It should be added in particular, chronic kidney infections, certain drug poisoning and certain genetic disorders. A silent disease at early stage, it is totally asymptomatic and silent. It operates for several years before the first signs: digestive manifestations, cardiac, neurological and skin. For the longest time, it can go undetected and be revealed only by laboratory tests (measurement of creatinine) on the occasion of diabetes, a urinary tract infection, high blood pressure, kidney stones, d albumin in the urine, severe infections, unexplained anemia, etc.. All these events can be either the cause or the consequence of renal failure. Sometimes, the attention is attracted by a rapid weight gain, the appearance of edema, an abnormal change in color of urine, loss of appetite or excessive fatigue. It should be noted that care should be as early as possible in order to slow up the destruction of the kidneys. For this screening should target populations at risk, people with diabetes, hypertension, coronary ischemia, uropathy, kidney disease, family, etc.. What are the signs of chronic renal failure?
