Why Kidney Failure patients feel weakness in their Body? | 3 Signs of Kidney Failure

In this descriptive video, Dr. Puru Dhawan sheds light on a very common problem among all kidney patients - BODY WEAKNESS.

In kidney failure patients, body weakness is a common symptom due to several factors. The kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste products and regulating electrolytes, so their dysfunction can lead to imbalances that affect muscle function and overall energy levels.

*CAUSES:

1. Low erythropoietin levels, low protein levels are some of the major reasons for constant body weakness in the kidney patients.

2. Erythropoietin, essential for red blood cell production, is often deficient in renal failure, leading to anemia and fatigue. Additionally, inadequate protein levels due to impaired kidney function contribute to muscle wasting and reduced energy levels in these patients.

*TREATMENT:

Never skip your meals and ensure to have a proper intake of food regularly for a continuous supply of energy in your body.

A tailored diet helps in controlling electrolyte levels, such as sodium, potassium, and phosphorus, which are critical for kidney function. It also regulates protein intake to reduce the burden on the kidneys while ensuring adequate nutrition. Fluid intake is carefully monitored to prevent fluid overload. Overall, a well-balanced diet supports kidney health and improves the quality of life for patients undergoing treatment.
