Kidney Failure Prophet! Reminder: Don't take the 3 abnormalities on the feet seriously, the kidneys may be damaged
I was supposed to be at the age of playing with my classmates at school, but because I was diagnosed with uremia, I left my classmates and teachers, and I had to travel frequently between major hospitals.
Chang Liang is the only child in the family. He is in his third year of high school this year. He is about to prepare for the college entrance examination and is entering university. However, he went to the hospital for examination due to leg edema, and was found to have uremia .
The doctor said that if a suitable kidney source cannot be matched, he can only rely on dialysis to maintain his life.
1. Kidneys, once injured are irreversible
Although the kidneys have a strong compensatory ability, once the kidneys are severely damaged, the damage is irreversible. Even after aggressive treatment, the kidneys are difficult to return to their original state, and patients must be followed up to stay away from other factors that can cause kidney damage.
Chronic nephritis accounts for 30%-40% of all chronic kidney disease patients and can occur at any age.
Once suffering from chronic nephritis, it is likely to have different degrees of kidney damage such as proteinuria and hematuria , and may also experience some digestive system symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting.
In addition, it may also affect bone growth, causing severe cardiovascular complications, anemia and other symptoms, and some patients may even develop uremia.
2. 3 manifestations on the feet, or kidney disease
Once the kidneys are sick, the body is likely to have a series of symptoms, and we must pay enough attention to these symptoms.
1. A red dot appears
Red spots on the feet may be a distress signal from kidney damage, especially when accompanied by other symptoms of kidney disease such as proteinuria, hematuria, and abdominal pain.
2, swollen feet
Kidney diseases such as glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome can easily lead to swelling of the eyelids, feet and other parts, and most of them will be accompanied by symptoms such as proteinuria, hematuria, and high blood pressure.
3. Itchy feet
Symmetrical itching of the feet or generalized itching is likely to be caused by kidney disease. People with mild symptoms may have a tendency to have intermittent attacks. Patients with severe symptoms may have a longer attack time, and the symptoms are most obvious at night.
3. Stay away from these "kidney-injuring behaviors"
If you want to protect the kidneys, you must stay away from some behaviors that damage the kidneys and avoid serious damage to the kidneys in the long-term.
Often staying up late, holding back urine, preferring high-salt food, barbecue, fried food, high-fat food, etc., as well as smoking, alcoholism, drinking beverages as water, drug abuse, obesity, excessive intake of health supplements, etc., lack of exercise, Some behaviors such as strenuous exercise can cause great damage to the kidneys, so we must stay away from these behaviors that damage the kidneys.
As an important organ of the human body, the protection of the kidney is also very important. Not only should we stay away from all kinds of behaviors that may damage the kidney, but also actively treat the underlying kidney disease. Once the kidney disease develops seriously, the damage is irreversible. May develop into uremia, can only rely on dialysis to maintain life.
In fact, kidney disease can also be manifested through the symptoms of the feet.
