Vesefunkciózavarok

Vesefunkciózavarok refers to conditions where the kidneys do not function properly. The kidneys are vital organs responsible for filtering waste products from the blood, regulating fluid balance, producing hormones, and maintaining electrolyte levels. When these functions are impaired, it can lead to a range of health problems.

There are two main categories of kidney dysfunction: acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). AKI is a sudden loss of kidney function that occurs over a period of hours or days. It can be caused by various factors, including severe dehydration, infections, certain medications, and blockages in the urinary tract. CKD, on the other hand, is a gradual loss of kidney function that progresses over months or years. It is often associated with long-term conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and glomerulonephritis.

Symptoms of vesefunkciózavarok can vary depending on the severity and cause. Early stages may be asymptomatic, but as the condition progresses, individuals might experience fatigue, swelling in the legs and ankles, changes in urination patterns (e.g., less frequent or more frequent urination, foamy urine), loss of appetite, nausea, and muscle cramps.

Diagnosis typically involves blood and urine tests to assess kidney function, as well as imaging studies like ultrasounds or CT scans. Treatment aims to manage the underlying cause, slow the progression of kidney damage, and alleviate symptoms. This can include dietary modifications, medications, and in severe cases, dialysis or kidney transplantation.
