Why do patients with chronic kidney disease have declining urine volume

If you are a patient with chronic kidney disease, your urine volume can be declining. Then you may want to know what can lead to this phenomenon, why it happens and some treatment for it. Here we will make a detailed introduction for you, hoping it can be helpful.
Firstly of all, let’s understand how the urine is produced.
As it is known, we can live due to metabolism. The urination is one way of excreting the wastes and fluids of our body. The process is as follows:
The blood flows into the kidney and come to the glomerular filtration membrane, where substances with big molecular weight or negative charge are only allowed to pass through. In this way, most of the nutrients are stored in the body. However, some wastes and fluids, such as creatinine, urea nitrogen, are leaking out. These wastes and fluids are excreted through the urine. And the kidney is the most important organ of forming the urine.
Then let’s understand why the urine volume of patients with chronic kidney disease decreases.
From the above, we know that kidney is the major organ to produce the urine and is associated with excretion very closely. The kidney of the patient with chronic kidney disease is damaged to a certain degree, which means the kidney function can’t work as well as it was. So the filtration of wastes and fluids are affected. The kidney can’t excrete the wastes out completely, which leads to accumulation of toxins. Because the kidney filters less blood, it leads that the wastes and fluids can’t be excreted. So the urine is formed less.
Finally, let’s talk about how we should relieve the symptom that patients with CKD have decreasing urine volume.

The fundamental way to solve this problem is to treat the chronic kidney disease. The patients should be treated timely and properly as the doctor asks. If you want to know the specific treatment about this, you can contact us freely by email or telephone.
