Solutions to Anasarca in Acute Renal Failure

Anasarca refers to swollen in whole body, it happens in both acute renal failure and chronic renal failure. Regarding anasarca in acute renal failure, there are different solutions in terms of different causes. So, first let’s see what are the causes for anasarca in acture renal failure:

1. Parenchymal disease, like nephrotic syndrome, severe lupus nephritis, crescent nephritis, etc. Nephrotic syndrome can lead to acute renal failure, at the same time, we know in severe cases, nephrotic syndrome patients usually have severe swollen all over the body, so, regarding this kind of anasarca, eliminating the factors that lead to acute renal failure, at the same time, treating the causes for swelling in nephrotic syndrome patients can help to solve the anasarca problem.
2. Obstructive renal disease. For example, kidney stone. When the kidney stone obstruct the ureters and patients have less or no urine output, then excessive water will be kept inside patient’s body, as a result, patients would have swollen all over their body. And the solution for this kind of disease is to remove the obstruction resulted from various reasons, at the same time, relieve the symptoms of acute renal failure. And dialysis is also needed if necessary. Generally speaking, this kind of acute renal failure and anasarca can be reversed after the root causes are removed in time.
However, once it is not removed in time, and it will turn to another point, advancing to uremia rapidly, and kidney transplant become the only option for them. Or, it turns into chronic kidney disease, and the treatment regarding chronic kidney disease is also different, about which you can get more details from “How Does TCM Repair Damaged Kidneys” And any other questions, please leave a message to me.
