Why Do People With Renal Failure Sleep So Long

Why do people with renal failure sleep so long? Many renal failure patients may found that they are drowsy and lack of energy to do anything. Is this normal? And what causes it?
Actually, drowsy or fatigue is one of the clinical behaviour of kidney problem, particularly renal failure. Therefore, if a kidney failure patient feel drowsy, it may be caused by his disease; however, we can not say one gets renal failure just because of he is listless.
Mostly, renal failure patients are sleepy because of anemia which occurs especially more easily in renal failure stage. In our blood, there is red blood cells that can help to bring oxygen to each of our tissues and cells. With anemia, there is no enough blood supply, as a result of which, oxygen supply is not enough as well. Without enough oxygen and energy, we feel tired and sleepy easily.
The followings are the specific description about fatigue in renal failure:
1. Want to sleep all the time
2. Have no energy and vigor to do anything, including matter what patients are interested in before.
3. Feel tired easily, even after mild physical activity.
Sleepiness is a common or we can say normal condition in our daily life. We need sleep as long as 8 hours every day to keep us being vigorous., so it is not necessary to go to doctor. However, for renal failure patients, they experience drowsiness due to their kidney problem. They may still want to sleep even if they have slept a very long time. Under such a circumstance, what they need to do is to repair kidney damages; otherwise, symptom of fatigue or drowsiness will become more and more serious. What is more, they will also experience other fatal complications like heart failure and cardiovascular diseases.
Drowsiness is not a fatal symptom of kidney failure and in some ways it does not deprive patent's life directly, but it indicates kidney function has been extremely poor. In this case, if patients leave it alone, their kidney condition will become moreserious and therefore their life will be threatened.
