vesefunkcióromlást

Vesefunkcióromlás, also known as renal dysfunction or kidney impairment, refers to a condition where the kidneys are not functioning as efficiently as they should. The kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste products and excess fluid from the blood, regulating blood pressure, and producing hormones essential for red blood cell production and bone health. When kidney function declines, these processes can be compromised, leading to a buildup of toxins in the body and a range of health issues.

The causes of vesefunkcióromlás are diverse and can include chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure, which are leading contributors. Other causes include glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, infections, and certain medications or toxins. Acute kidney injury, a sudden loss of kidney function, can also occur due to severe dehydration, blood loss, or blockages in the urinary tract.

Symptoms of vesefunkcióromlás may not be apparent in the early stages and can include fatigue, swelling in the legs and ankles, changes in urination patterns (frequency, color, amount), nausea, and shortness of breath. As the condition progresses, more severe symptoms can arise, affecting multiple organ systems. Diagnosis typically involves blood and urine tests to assess kidney function, along with imaging studies. Treatment focuses on managing the underlying cause, slowing the progression of the disease, and addressing complications through medication, dietary changes, and in some cases, dialysis or transplantation.
