Why People with Chronic Renal Failure Have Restless Leg Syndrome
Restless leg syndrome is a common disorder in advanced Chronic Renal Failure. It can make the patients feel extremely uncomfortable and even disturb their sleep. What factors can attribute to restless leg syndrome and how to treat it?
What is restless leg syndrome?
Restless leg syndrome is a disorder, in which the patients feel an uncomfortable sensation in the legs and are compelled to move them. This syndrome usually occurs along with painful sensation, burning sensation and pricking.
What causes of restless leg syndrome in Chronic Renal Failure?
Nerve damage
Diabetes can contribute to restless leg syndrome. Diabetes can damage nerves and tiny blood vessels, thus resulting in the disorder. If the patients have a tight control of blood glucose level, the uncomfortable sensations will be relieved.
Deficient iron and EPO
Healthy kidneys can produce EPO, which is a hormone that helps make red blood cells. However, in Chronic Renal Failure, the malfunctioned kidneys only make little or produce no EPO at all. With low iron levels and fewer red blood cells being made, anemia commonly develop in Chronic Renal Failure.
Low PTH
Increased PTH can increase the patients' risk of developing bone diseases. Therefore, they are usually prescribed medications to control its level tightly. Some researches show that a common trait among patients with restless leg syndrome is that they have low PTH levels.
Treatment for restless leg syndrome in Chronic Renal Failure
After the patients discuss the problem with their doctor, the doctors will firstly make a diagnosis to find out the specific causes. Usually, the following treatment methods are adopted, including
Massage
Warm baths
EPO injection
Iron supplement
Altering PTH treatment
The above treatment methods can relieve the symptoms and discomforts. However, as restless leg syndrome results from impaired kidney function. The primary goal of the therapy should aim to restore the impaired kidney structure and recover its secretory and excretory function. Once the kidneys are restored very well, the relative symptoms and discomforts related to Chronic Renal Failure will disappear gradually.
