Kidney is not good, urination prophet, when these 4 kinds of abnormalities appear in the urine, the kidney may have been injured

"The urine is yellow and smelly, it's a kidney problem"

"If you drink water, you will urinate more because your kidneys are not good."

"There is a lot of foam in the urine, indicating that the kidneys have deteriorated"

....

Many people are not calm when they hear these words. The kidneys, as the metabolic organs of the human body, produce urine and excrete wastes. And everyone experiences several times of urination every day, so what are the conditions of urine that really reflect the health problems of the body?

1. What is the normal and healthy urine like?

People eat, drink and lax every day. Many people may not pay attention to their urine. They turn around and leave after going to the toilet. In fact, urine is also a "signal light" for health.

This is because after our daily intake of food and water is digested and absorbed, unnecessary substances must be excreted through urine or feces, and regular metabolism can maintain our nutritional balance and health.

Secondly, urine is produced by the kidney, the "detox factory". Once there is an abnormality in the body, it can also be reflected in the urine.

What does healthy urine look like? Generally speaking, the urine state of normal people is light yellow , and the pigment mainly comes from the product of metabolism uroflavin and a small amount of urobilin and urine red.

The urine is clear and free of foreign matter, only the smell of ammonia and no other special odors , even if there are bubbles, it will disappear quickly. If there is a change in urine color, smell, or shape, consider whether it is a signal from the body.

2. Urine is yellow and smelly? 5 things that could be body cues

Urine color is not static, it can change with water intake, diet or disease.

· Drink too little water

The color of urine is related to the amount of water you drink. When you drink a lot of water, the urine will be diluted and colorless and transparent; when you drink insufficient water or even dehydrate, the urine will be dark yellow.

·drug abuse

Excessive use of rifampicin, diphenhydramine, diphenhydramine, vitamin B, three yellow tablets, etc., may cause yellow urine. After stopping the drug, it will gradually recover.

· Food influence

Consuming carrots, papaya, beetroot and other fruits and vegetables that contain carotene can cause yellow urine. If you drink too little water or eat some salty food, it can also cause yellow urine.

·Urinary diseases

If you suffer from urinary system inflammation, stones, tumors and other diseases, it will also affect the color of urine. If your urine is persistently yellowish-brown, accompanied by jaundice, tiredness, upper abdominal discomfort, and pain, it may be bilirubinuria or urobilinuria.

· Cause of disease

Nephritis, deficiency of kidney qi and kidney deficiency can cause yellow urine. When the liver or gallbladder is diseased, bile is excreted from the urethra, making the urine dark yellow and foul-smelling. In addition, when the urinary organ is purulent, it will also discharge yellow cloudy pyuria.

3. I urinate more after drinking water. Is it related to the quality of the kidneys?

Studies have shown that the fastest metabolic process of human drinking water is 6-8 minutes, generally no more than 120 minutes. In most cases, it takes 30-45 minutes for water to turn into urine.

Under normal circumstances, a person excretes about 1500 ml of urine per day. If the urine volume is between 400 ml and 3000 ml, there is not much problem. The frequency of bowel movements is about 8 times a day, 7 times during the day and once at night is the best ratio. But it depends on the person,

Then some people want to go to the toilet after drinking water. What's the matter? In fact, this is a normal phenomenon, and most frequent urination has nothing to do with the kidneys. There may be several reasons for this:

The first could be overactive bladder , a syndrome characterized by urgency to urinate, which increases with age.

In addition, some people are born with smaller bladders , which store a smaller volume of urine.

It may also be related to drinking and urination habits. For example, in the case of not drinking water for a long time, the bladder gradually adapts to the water-deficient environment. If there is a sudden inflow of water, it may stimulate the bladder and produce the urge to urinate.

In addition, people with higher blood sugar levels , if they have a metabolic disorder, can also affect the frequency of urination. Finally, there is a neurological frequency of urination , that is, when you encounter tension and anxiety, you will want to go to the toilet.

Therefore, if you urinate more after drinking water, it is not necessarily a kidney problem.

Fourth, if this happens in the urine, it may be that the kidney has been "injured"

Frequent use of the toilet does not necessarily mean that there is a problem with the "kidney", but if the following abnormalities occur, you should be alert to whether the kidneys are calling for help.

1. Persistent anuria

Clinically, there are many diseases that can cause decreased urine output, such as decreased renal function and urinary tract blockage. 24h urine output less than 100ml is anuria, persistent anuria, it may be uremia.

2. Foamy urine

Occasionally foamy urine is usually harmless. However, if the bubbles in the urine persist for a long time, it may be due to excessive protein intake. If the duration is short and the degree is mild, it belongs to physiological proteinuria. There is no need to panic too much. Adjust your diet and rest regularly. improve.

However, if the situation continues and does not improve, it is necessary to consider that it may be pathological proteinuria , and it is recommended to go to the hospital for related investigations.

3. Hematuria

Urine appears fleshy color, or red urine, if it is occasional, it may be related to eating vegetables with betalains such as red heart pitaya. However, if it occurs frequently, it is considered to be urinary calculi, acute nephritis, tuberculosis, tumor, etc., and some blood diseases or infectious diseases may also appear hematuria.

4. Increased nocturia

Healthy people generally do not urinate more than twice at night. Excluding factors such as insomnia, drinking a lot of water before going to bed or eating diuretic food, the amount of urine at night increases significantly for a period of time, even more than the amount of urine during the day , it is necessary to consider the possibility of renal function. Or metabolic problems, pay attention to the hospital to check.

If you want to keep your urine healthy, you should develop the habit of drinking more water in your daily life, go to the toilet in time when you feel the urge to urinate, and don’t hold back your urine. Also, pay attention to hygiene after urinating. Women should wipe from front to back after urinating. Men should change their underwear frequently to keep them clean and hygienic.

Urine is a "barometer" of physical health. It is recommended that everyone pay attention to the urine situation after going to the toilet. If there is any abnormality, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
