With the exception of individual secondary kidney diseases such as purpuric nephritis and lupus nephritis, the appearance and development of most kidney diseases are "quiet" and can easily miss the best timing of treatment.
However, nephrologists say there are some external manifestations at different stages of kidney disease that allow us to seize the timing of treatment.

| stage of kidney disease |
In fact, most of the common external manifestations of renal disease, have emerged at this stage, such as foam urine (proteinuria), hematuria, edema and so on.
Because this stage is precisely when the kidney unit began to be destroyed, the performance is more intense.
Like a cold, early, cough, fever and other symptoms of the most intense. Really developed to middle and late, but a smooth cough, fever also sustained low-grade fever.
Therefore, many doctors for urinary protein and edema did not show too urgent, because at this time although it looks "dangerous", but the treatment is relatively easy.
As long as the inhibition of the inflammatory response, basically can receive a good effect.
The second stage: before and after renal failure, mid-term
Mainly refers to the serum creatinine 130-500μmoI / L between the stages.
This stage, the nephron has been damaged more than 50%, can not fully meet the needs of the body, in addition to the various symptoms in front, but also the tendency of azotemia.
At this stage, those early external manifestations have gradually converged, such as edema, although the quantitative urinary protein did not significantly improve, but the edema is much better than before.
This is due not only to early treatment but also to the "tolerated" pattern of the kidneys because of the body's self-regulating mechanism.
However, although early external manifestations have eased, many patients at this stage may experience increased feelings of dizziness, nausea and fatigue, mainly due to azotemia.
The third stage: end-stage renal failure
Is uremia period.
At this point, the kidney showed significant atrophy, diffuse renal damage, azotemia is very serious, water, electrolyte imbalance.
The main external manifestation of this stage, one is dizzy and weak, the other is dark complexion, which are related to changes in the blood.
We know that with the decline of renal function, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen and other metabolic garbage in the blood continuously increased concentration, resulting in azotemia, so that other organs and systems have also been "contaminated."
The main source of this "pollution" is inadequate blood supply. Coupled with renal damage caused by decreased erythropoietin, anemia will be more serious.
Therefore, the development of renal disease to uremia stage, the external appearance of the performance has basically disappeared, replaced by a variety of uncomfortable feeling, such as sleep, physical weakness, easy to commit lazy, looking black and so on.
From the external manifestations to determine the stage of development of kidney disease is very inaccurate, only as a rough adjunct to judge.
Moreover, these external manifestations vary widely depending on each person's condition and on the various pathological types.
But one thing is the same: the physical patience is strong, and if it signals "uncomfortable," do not ignore it.
