Smell of urine

Introduction If the kidney is sick and causes kidney failure, these poisons cannot be excreted in time, and thus stay in the blood, causing water and salt metabolism disorders and forming uremia. When the concentration of toxic substances in the blood increases, some volatile toxic substances are excreted from the respiratory qi of the lungs, so there is a smell of urine in the uremic patients' wards.

Cause

The cause of uremia is due to loss of renal function. The nitrogen waste produced by metabolism in the body cannot be excreted. The common cause of renal failure caused by accumulation of body and imbalance of water and electricity, water retention and electrolyte imbalance is the disease and injury of the kidney itself. Renal renal failure. Prerenal renal failure is often caused by decreased blood pressure and renal hypoperfusion due to heart failure or other causes. The main causes of post-renal renal failure are urinary tract obstruction and urinary reflux.

an examination

First, physical examination

Taking a medical history gives us a first impression and revelation, and also guides us to a concept of the nature of the disease.

Second, laboratory inspection

Urine, blood biochemical examination.

Laboratory examinations must be summarized and analyzed based on objective data learned from medical history and physical examination, from which several diagnostic possibilities may be proposed, and further consideration should be given to those examinations to confirm the diagnosis.
