Whether renal insufficiency is serious or not mainly depends on its causes and other factors. If it is acute renal insufficiency, after correcting the reversible factors, the renal function may recover gradually, which is usually not serious; if it is chronic renal insufficiency, with the progress of the disease, it may develop into uremia, which is more serious.
If acute renal insufficiency is caused by pre-renal factors such as massive blood loss, diarrhea, renal artery embolism, renal factors such as poisoning caused by drugs or heavy metal ions, or post-renal factors such as bilateral urinary tract obstruction, renal function may gradually recover after correcting the reversible factors, which is usually not serious.
If chronic renal insufficiency such as primary glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive kidney injury, polycystic kidney disease, etc., with the progression of the disease, it may develop into uremia, which is more serious. This situation should be based on slowing down the progress of the disease and reducing the complications.
Patients with renal insufficiency are advised to go to regular hospitals in time, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and then give targeted treatment or therapy under the guidance of the doctor.
