The causes of getting uremia are mainly categorized into primary kidney disease, secondary kidney disease and hereditary kidney disease.
Primary kidney disease is the most common cause of uremia in China, and primary kidney diseases include primary chronic glomerulonephritis and primary nephrotic syndrome.
Common secondary kidney diseases that cause uremia are diabetic nephropathy, systemic lupus erythematosus nephritis, hepatitis B-associated nephritis, gouty nephropathy, and allergic purpuric nephritis, etc. Currently, diabetic nephropathy accounts for an increasing proportion of the causes of uremia.
Hereditary nephropathies such as polycystic kidney and Alport syndrome may lead to uremia.
Uremia patients should go to the hospital in time to find out the cause and be treated under the guidance of professional physicians.
