Cramp is a common symptom that patients with end stage renal failure would come across, the reason may be complicated, but primely it is the consequence of disorder of blood calcium. Calcium ion is a kind of electrolyte that has closely linked with excitability of the neuromuscular, when concentration of the blood calcium declines, excitability of the neuromuscular will increase, and the cramp will happen then. The hypocalcemia is very common in ESRD patients, and they are usually accompanied with hyperphosphatemia. Kidney is the prime organ where activated vitamin D is produced, and the vitamin D is used to regulate metabolism of calcium and phosphorus, since ESRD patients can’t produce sufficient activated vitamin D in the kidney, the balance of calcium and phosphorus will be broken, intestinal tract absorb more calcium and kidney excrete phosphorus less, as a consequence, the blood calcium level will decrease and blood phosphorus will increase.
Some diuretics like furosemide will increase the excretion of calcium ion, some patients who take sodium bicarbonate to rectify acidosis can come across cramp, it is because the concentration of calcium ion will increase in relative acid environment, once the acidosis has been rectified, the concentration of calcium would decrease and as a result the cramp occurs.
Except for disorder of blood calcium, fluid retention of the ESRD patients can cause lesion of the surrounding nerves, In addition, ESRD patients may shake their limbs unawares because of metabolic disorder, that can make them feel comfortable, and this may be a reason why ESRD patients cramp.
