Kidney disease and skin

Very often, skin rashes and other skin diseases are directly dependent on the condition of the kidneys. With the disease, external manifestations appear: skin color may change, allergic reactions appear, dry skin is observed. The disease must be correctly diagnosed and treated. Otherwise, it is possible to get serious pathological processes. The first step is to take a urine test.

Skin lesions in kidney disease

In kidney disease, 2 categories of skin lesions are divided. The first category includes those diseases and symptoms that are caused by kidney failure. The second group includes pathological processes caused by diseases that are acquired throughout life or are inherited. Doctors attach special importance to the first group. Signs of kidney disease that characterize kidney failure:

• prone to pigmentation, pale, yellowish and dry skin;
• rashes on different parts of the body with itching;
• white dots appear on the nail plate;
• foliation of nails, split ends of hair and loss;
• susceptibility to fungal diseases;
• stomatitis.

• diabetes;
• gout;
• syphilis;
• scarlet fever;
• lupus;
• dermatosis;
• amyloidosis.

Rash in kidney disease, causes and treatment

Only 5% of skin rashes are not associated with a malfunction of the body. A rash on the skin indicates kidney disease. There are several reasons why rashes appear:

1. An excess of phosphorus in the body (the kidneys are not able to cope with this element, it accumulates and leads to rashes).
2. Uremic intoxication (when waste products from the blood accumulate and are not removed from the body in time, they affect the external state of the body and provoke itching and rashes).
3. The presence of autoimmune diseases (a rash is the first sign of kidney disease).

Only a doctor is able to correctly diagnose the disease, having studied the history of the disease and having received the necessary tests. But treating only the rash in this case will be ineffective. It is necessary to eradicate the main cause of the disease. The complex use of drugs to normalize the functioning of the kidneys and excretory system, as well as from rashes, will help to return to normal. Diuretics are prescribed to help remove all unnecessary from the kidneys, vitamins or a complex of vitamins B and Ca, C and P, cytostatic drugs Cyclophosphamide and Azathioprine (contraindicated in pregnancy). You can turn to traditional medicine and drink a collection of herbs for kidney failure.

What do acne on the face say?

A good experienced specialist can already have a general picture of diseases just by looking at the face of the patient. The face is a mirror of the state of the body. Acne on the face is a clear sign of improper functioning of the body. After all, the skin takes on a huge job of removing toxins and toxins if the kidneys are disturbed. And then a rash, small pimples, acne, sometimes swelling and pallor of the skin appear. You can independently determine the appearance of acne:

• near the eyes (the problem lies in diseases of the reproductive system and kidneys);
• on the forehead, in the upper part (disturbances in the work of the urinary and gastric bladder);
• with a red tint on the chin in men (development of prostatitis);
• redness, irritation, peeling, dark areas around the mouth and on the chin (disruption of the excretory system);
• subcutaneous acne (hormonal disorders that also affect the functioning of internal organs).

But only a specialist has the right to correctly diagnose the disease and prescribe treatment, since the appearance of acne carries a lot of “hidden” information that only they can decipher. It is almost impossible to cope with illnesses on your own. Or you can “remove” the symptoms for a while, and then the disease will begin to progress even more.

What is kidney failure?

Kidney failure is a complex disorder of the functioning of the kidneys, which leads to a metabolic disorder and damage to the continuous proper functioning of the body. Renal failure occurs in acute and chronic form. If this is not a congenital defect, then throughout life it occurs due to a number of factors: stressful situations, malnutrition, exogenous poisoning, trauma, infectious diseases, prolonged use of antibiotics. If you ignore the disease - it will lead to death. In order to notice the first signs in time, you need to be especially attentive to yourself and the condition of the skin.

yellowing of the skin

One of the signs of kidney failure is yellowing of the skin. Changes in skin color are caused precisely by anemia (the production of insufficient numbers of red blood cells). And this is already a complication that accumulates toxins and, going outside, leaves a mark on itself. First of all, you need to cleanse the blood of toxins, normalize the functioning of the kidneys and additionally consume vitamins with trace elements of iron and calcium. But an excess of vitamins can also lead to intoxication, so you need to use the daily norm (calcium from 800 to 1200 mg, iron from 8 mg to 45 mg in adults). Dairy products are rich in calcium, and legumes, apples, buckwheat, dried fruits, fish, and meat are rich in iron. Pomegranate copes well with toxins.
