Uremia is a serious disease of the kidneys. There is currently no cure for uremia. Although uremia is not contagious and hereditary, it poses a great threat to the health of the body.

There are still two solutions for the current medical level of uremia patients, one is hemodialysis, and the other is kidney transplantation. Uremia does not appear overnight, but is caused by people's long-term diet and bad living habits.

How did uremia come about?

Uremia is the loss of kidney function due to various reasons, unable to excrete excess water and various metabolic wastes from the body, resulting in disturbance of the internal environment and metabolic disorders in the body. Patients have oliguria, anuria, edema, hypertension, anemia, etc. Performance, examination will find increased creatinine, urea, uric acid, decreased glomerular filtration rate, kidney atrophy and so on.

Many diseases can lead to uremia, common primary glomerulonephritis, such as membranous nephropathy, IgA nephropathy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Secondary nephropathy such as lupus nephritis, diabetic nephropathy, hepatitis B-related nephropathy, vasculitis, etc. Systemic diseases such as cardiorenal syndrome, hepatorenal syndrome, acute kidney injury, etc.

Early symptoms of uremia

1. Pale complexion: Since the toxins in the body cannot be excreted well in uremia, the accumulation of the toxins in the body will inhibit the hematopoiesis of the bone marrow. At the same time, uremia reduces the production of erythropoietin by the kidneys, and patients are prone to physical weakness and pale complexion.

2. Toxins accumulate in the body: Stimulation of the gastrointestinal mucosa causes nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and weight loss in patients.

3. Foam in the urine: If the foam in the urine cannot be dissipated for a long time, it is necessary to be highly alert to the possibility of proteinuria, and at the same time, it indicates that the kidney has been damaged.

Doctor's reminder: If there are 2 stinks, try to do these 3 things

【Smells in 2 places】

1. Bad breath

In life, many people are prone to bad breath, which is generally caused by food. In addition, it is related to digestion affecting the oral cavity.

Kidney insufficiency, toxins cannot be excreted, uremia occurs, bacteria increase, the intestinal flora is enhanced to urea, ammonia gas occurs, and too much ammonia gas in the mouth will cause bad breath, which cannot be improved by simply brushing your teeth.

2. Smelly urine

We all know that the kidney is the main organ that produces urine. If a series of diseases or uremia occurs in the kidney, it will affect urination. Then it will lead to fever or yellowing of our fluids. When uremia patients urinate, the smell of ammonia is likely to appear in the urine. This smell is similar to chemical fertilizers, which will be very irritating and make the nose uncomfortable.

The reason for the unpleasant taste is that the increase in the level of urea in the urine is an increase in the odor, and severe renal failure will lead to uremia. Uremia will cause certain damage to the excretory function of the kidneys, so the urine will have a pungent taste.

In addition to the onset of urinary indolence, the odor is serious, and the urine of people suffering from uremic ketoacidosis will also have a pungent taste.

【3 things】

1. Don't stay up late

Uremic patients cannot stay up late. To perform dialysis in a timely manner, they need to pay attention to rest. Staying up late has a great impact on renal function.

Staying up late will stimulate the secretion of vasoconstrictor hormones, leading to high blood pressure, and persistent high blood pressure will cause arteriosclerosis, which leads to the development of uremia. Uremic patients must ensure 7-8 hours of sleep a day to better protect their kidneys.

2. Eat less high-salt, high-fat, high-protein foods

Some people prefer to eat heavy-tasting foods in their daily life, such as smoked, spicy and pungent foods or salted duck eggs. Such foods are all high-sodium and high-salt substances.

However, if people with poor renal function often eat fatty foods in their daily life, they may experience increased blood pressure or edema, and blood pressure is the main cause of uremia.

Therefore, in our daily life, we must pay attention to the control of diet, eat less spicy food and limit the intake of salt.

3. Don't hold back your urine

Nowadays, many people will not go to the toilet because of the heavy workload. If they hold urine for a long time, the bladder will be affected, and the bacteria in the urine will also cause kidney disease and lead to uremia.
