Can You Die From Kidney Failure? Stages Of Death From Kidney Failure
Kidney failure is a condition where the kidney can’t do its job. While kidney job mainly is to filter the blood and remove any waste product. It also control blood pressure and stimulate the production of red blood cells.
So if your kidney can’t do its job, can you die because of it?
Obviously you can die from kidney failure. Imagine all the waste your body produce, but you can’t get it out. It will affect your body. However, some people says that dead from kidney failure is not so bad. At least from pain point of view. When the waste accumulate in your body, your body would show a decrease in energy and you would be more and more sleepy than usual. You would also feel a bit change in your mental state as you will feel a bit anxiety or mild confusion. The waste that accumulates can also make your skin itchy. Your breathing pattern would change as you would have shorter and shorter breath. If you don’t urinate then the chances are you are going to die within one or two weeks and if you still produce urine then you could live longer. In the end your body seems to be heavier, you have less energy, you’ll loss your will to live and ultimately you’ll lose consciousness.
Of course that only happen when you reach stage 5 or Chronic kidney disease stage and you refuse to have dialysis. When you haven’t reach stage 5 then you shouldn’t be worried of death from kidney failure, yet…
