Causes of uremia, risk factors of uremia

Condition analysis:
Conditions causing increased blood urea fall into three different categories: Prerenal, renal, and postrenal.

Prerenal azotemia can be caused by decreased blood flow through the kidneys (e.g. low blood pressure, congestive heart failure, shock, bleeding, dehydration) or by increased production of urea in the liver via a high protein diet or increased protein catabolism (e.g. stress, fever, major illness, corticosteroid therapy or gastrointestinal bleeding).

Renal causes can be attributed to decreased kidney function. These include acute and chronic kidney failure, acute and chronic glomerular nephritis, tubular necrosis and other kidney diseases.

Post renal causes can be due to decreased elimination of urea. These could be due to urinary outflow obstruction such as by calculi, tumours of the bladder or prostate, or a severe infection.

Instructions:
1. Olive oil
Olive oil is rich in many good components such as oleic acid, fatty acid with anti-inflammation function and antioxidant compounds. These components have good effect in preventing the inflammation of kidneys and also benefiting the protection of blood vessels.

2. Fish
For the patients with Uremia, they are recommended to keep a low high-quality protein. Fish can meet the requirement of the protein for Uremia patients. Meanwhile, fish also contains anti-inflammatory fats that can help decrease bad cholesterol level so as to decline the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

3. Apples
Apples are high in fiber and anti-inflammatory properties. It can help reduce the inflammation of kidneys to some extent and also have an effect in lowering cholesterol and preventing constipation in Uremia patients on dialysis.
