Is there any relation between kidney failure and weak legs? Yes, kidney failure can lead to weak legs and leg problem is just one of its symptoms. How does kidney failure cause weak legs and how to alleviate this problem? Please follow us to find the answer.

1. Weak legs can be caused by the following factors:

Anemia

Anemia is a common complication of kidney failure and it can lead to fatigue and muscle weakness. Healthy kidneys release hormones that trigger the production of red blood cells. However, weak kidneys do not release enough or any of that hormone, leading to a low red blood cell count. Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen to all parts of your body. With deficient red blood cells, the resulting anemia can make you feel weak or tired. Your legs also have no energy. Thus, weak legs occur in kidney failure.

Leg cramp

Kidney failure patients are at a higher risk of suffering from leg cramp due to electrolytes imbalance like high sodium level and high potassium level in blood.

 Restless leg syndrome

Restless leg syndrome is another leg problem which can be found among kidney failure patients. It causes terrible burning, pins and needles and restless feelings in the muscles of the leg. It often occurs at night.

Anemia, leg cramp and restless leg syndrome can all cause weak legs in kidney failure. It affects patients’ sleep quality and daily activity. Therefore, weak legs are necessary to be treated.

2. How to treat leg weakness caused by kidney failure?

From the above, we can see the root cause of leg weakness is injured kidneys. So patients with kidney failure should repair kidney damage and improve renal function. In this way, weak legs can be relieved fundamentally.

To repair impaired kidneys and improve renal function, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is the best option. This therapy can expand blood vessels, prevent inflammation and coagulation, degrade extracellular matrix and provide necessary nutrients. This helps alleviate weak legs radically.

Additionally, kidney failure patients need to follow a diet with low phosphorus, low potassium, low salt, balanced protein and relatively high calcium.
