Shortness of breath (dyspnea is a manifestation), the symptoms can be mild to severe, shortness of breath may allow people to sleep at night, or can not complete the simple things well. Advanced IgA nephropathy patients may experience such symptoms, because different problems in the body related to a variety of mechanisms.
Anemia. This refers to a deficiency of red blood cells, which usually develops early in kidney disease and worsens as Renal Failure develops. Because the red cells carry oxygen, when their amount is extremely low, the oxygen demands of the body will not be met, resulting in shortness of breath.
Blood pressure changes. Electrolytes function to maintain blood volume, which impacts the blood pressure. Two important electrolytes, sodium and potassium work together to balance fluid level. An imbalance in these two minerals can lead to increased blood volume, which causes the increase of blood pressure, or decreased blood volume, causing low blood pressure. High blood pressure makes the heart to work harder, which requires more oxygen, causing a patient feel difficulty in breathing. Low blood pressure reduces the flow of oxygen to the cells, which can also result in shortness of breath.
Lung problems. Kidney disease sometimes affect other organs of the body for normal operation, the most common cause additional fluid accumulation in the lungs, and the oxygen in the lungs and the exchange of body damage, patients may experience difficulty in breathing, slowly into IGA nephropathy stage late.
Anxiety disorder. Anxiety is occasionally accompanied by heavy and rapid breathing, or hyperventilation. Dyspnea often resolves once the anxiety episode ends.
