Nephropathy causes edema

The cause kidney edema The degree of edema can be light weight, light had no foreseeable edema, only weight gain (hidden edema) in the early morning or swelling of the eyelids a little bit. Body weight can significantly edema, or even the chest, ascites, dozens of kilograms of weight gain (severe swelling). The most common is that Au edema, or a finger on it you will see the emergence of depression. Cause swelling of the reasons are the following aspects: 1, "the ball of the imbalance": "ball" that glomeruli, "the" means tubular, and the kidneys from renal cortical some of the major units (about two kidney about 2 million) consisting of, but also from kidney renal unit The ball and tubular composed of two parts. Under normal circumstances, the glomerular filtration of water, salts and other substances, almost 99 percent has been re-absorbed by the tubular, so that the body remain relatively small and the dynamic balance of electrolytes. When kidney disease, the "ball of the imbalance", on the one hand, glomerular water, sodium filtration dysfunction, but the tubular water, the re-absorption of sodium is not the corresponding decline, resulting in water, sodium Retention caused by edema. The most common in such cases when glomerulonephritis. 2, hypoproteinemia: renal pathology injury cases, the GBM permeability-increasing protein from the large number of discharged in urine, to reduce the concentration of plasma protein, osmotic pressure to reduce plasma, liquid Piancong vascular infiltration of protein (and infiltration Pressure) the relatively high inter-organizational membrane, the cause edema. Osmotic pressure plasma protein is to maintain the important material and plasma protein concentration led to lower plasma osmolality lower. And water (liquid) to high (protein, osmotic pressure), such as soybeans go [<-> water and the expansion of the truth - formed. 3, complications: kidney disease, because of reduced kidney erythropoietin, cause anemia: anemia caused by kidney ischemia, renal ischemia caused increased secretion of renin hypertension. Anemia, hypertension, kidney coupled with the retention of the body metabolism and decreased immunity, while secondary to cardiac dysfunction, which in turn was the cause of edema. This is common in patients with chronic insufficiency of uremia. 4, with liver and kidney damage: kidney disease, severe kidney disease, in particular, are often secondary to liver damage, medical, "the liver and kidney syndrome" (in Chinese medicine also stresses "liver and kidney homology"). Liver lesions become another cause of the edema. 5, hormone causes: kidney disease, often secondary to endocrine function, such as aldosterone, such as increased estrogen, may cause the body of water, sodium retention caused or aggravated kidney edema. So many causes of kidney edema, the treatment of kidney edema can not be got straight to the point, the conditions required for different causes of edema are the purpose of treatment. There is no doubt that the formation of kidney edema is due to kidney injury, which also have a functional disorder, so thoroughly treatment of kidney edema, the most important thing is the source from edema for Treatment.
