Some people have been living with kidney diseases for years and are able to maintain their functioning at a certain level. Others are rapidly progressing to renal failure. Kidney failure means your kidneys have lost most of their functional ability: less than 15% of normal kidney function. If the kidney function drops to this level of GFR, you may have uremia symptoms and excess water in your body.

Uremia is a term used to refer to symptoms of a significant decline in kidney function. Because of uremia, there is accumulation in the blood of products of exchange, violation of electrolyte and water balance.

As already mentioned. Healthy kidneys work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to maintain balance. The nutrients that humans consume with food are fed into the blood to provide energy and keep the body healthy. Your kidneys aren’t working, so blood purification has to be done in a different way.

Dialysis treatment usually starts early without waiting for uremia symptoms.
