Blood volume increases when patients are at end-stage of renal disease, so does the blood flow in left ventricle at end of diastolic stage, that pumped by the heart and discharge volume of the heart. And once the heart fails to compensate, left ventricular function decreases, duly resulting in heart failure.
2. Toxin due to uremia: at uremia stage, harmful metabolic wastes are kept inside patient’s body which inhibit myocardium, duly resulting in cardiomyopathy which further leads to myocardial dysfunction and heart failure.
3. High blood pressure:
Temporary hypertension overloads the heart, which duly thickens ventricular wall, extends the ventricle, leading to heart failure gradually. In patients’s body, adrenergic catecholamines is reduced, which is closely related with heart failure. Besides, high blood pressure speeds up the process of atherosclerosis, which also leads to heat failure.
4. Renal anemia:
If uremia patients suffer from temporary anemia, they may experience myocardial anoxia, myocardial function loses. As compensation, the body slows down heart rate, increase the cardiac output, consequently leading to heart failure due to overload and anoxia as time goes on.
5. Electrolyte disturbance and acidosis:
Myocardium excitability changes due to electrolytes disturbance in patient with uremia, which leads to cardiac arrhythmia and heart failure.
6. Atherosclerosis:
Both high blood pressure concurrent with uremia and hyperlipemia after dialysis can accelerate the process of atherosclerosis, further increasing uremia patients’ death rate. And many patients died during dialysis due to myocardial infarction.
7. Fistula used for dialysis:
During dialysis, the blood shunts between arteries and vessels, which reduces load of the heart. With time going by, it causes heart failure.
8. Weak immunity:
Patients with uremia usually have weak immunity, in this case, they are at high risk of being infected by myocarditis or pericarditis, leading to heart failure eventually.
Different patients have different symptoms due to various kind of kidney disease. So patients who have uremia are suggested to follow the doctor’s instructions to prevent uremia from going even further.
However, the treatment for heart failure in uremia patients lies in the root causes which is the kidney disease. So, in order to prevent heart failure, we suggest that patients should do dialysis regularly, at the same time, receive treatment to improve kidney function, which is the basic treatment to eliminate heart failure.
