Nephropathy with leg pain may be related to renal bone disease, or muscle injury, arthritis, lumbar disc herniation and so on.
1. Nephrogenic bone disease: Chronic kidney patients have calcium and phosphorus and other mineral metabolism and endocrine dysfunction, resulting in abnormal mineral metabolism, bone disease, vascular calcification and other clinical syndromes, which may cause low back and leg pain and so on.
2. Muscle injury: after strenuous exercise or prolonged weight-bearing walking, the patient’s leg muscles are injured or strained, and leg pain, redness, swelling and other symptoms may occur.
3. Knee arthritis: degeneration of articular cartilage is the most direct cause of osteoarthritis of the knee, and patients may manifest knee pain, the degree of pain is usually mild and moderate, a few are severe, and occasionally severe pain or no pain. The pain is characterized by onset pain, weight-bearing pain, active activity pain and rest pain.
4. Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation: after the lumbar intervertebral disc undergoes degenerative changes, under the action of external force, the annulus fibrosus ruptures partially or completely, and protrudes outward either alone or together with the nucleus pulposus and cartilaginous endplates, which irritates or presses the nerves of sinus vertebrae and the nerve roots and causes the lesion that the pain of lumbar and leg is the main symptom.
Patients with kidney disease accompanied by leg pain should go to the hospital in time for consultation, clarify the cause under the guidance of professional physicians and timely treatment.
