Elderly people with renal failure are mainly categorized into acute renal failure and chronic renal failure, both of which are more serious conditions.
If acute renal failure occurs in the elderly, oliguria or anuria may occur within a short period of time, and at the same time, it will be combined with gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, as well as serious complications such as hyperkalemia, heart failure, cerebral edema, pulmonary edema, etc., which are more serious and need to be actively treated.
Chronic renal failure, on the other hand, may cause multi-system functional damage, such as anemia caused by the blood system, cardiac failure and arrhythmia caused by the cardiovascular system, and uremic encephalopathy caused by the nervous system, which is also very serious and can be life-threatening.
If the elderly suffer from renal failure, it is recommended to consult the hospital in time to find out the cause and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
