If one side of the kidney fails, it may affect the function of the other side of the kidney over time.
Under normal circumstances, both kidneys work together to filter the daily metabolites in the body, when one side of the kidney failure, all the metabolites circulating in the blood vessels of the body can only be discharged through one side of the kidney, which greatly increases its burden, the other side of the kidney in the early stage can be compensated, and there will be no obvious clinical manifestations, but in the late stages of the kidneys may enter into the state of decompensation, that is, the emergence of renal failure.
Kidney failure on one side is usually seen when there is hydronephrosis, renal atrophy, kidney stones, etc. Since the incidence and death rate of kidney failure remains high, it is extremely important to prevent and remove the factors that cause kidney failure, such as regular testing of blood pressure, do not smoke, and regularly check the urine routine and kidney function.
If patients with one-sided renal failure find discomfort in daily life, such as foamy urine, increased nocturia, fatigue, etc., they need to go to regular hospitals for treatment in time to avoid delaying their condition.
