If the kidney is not good, what will the body show? This article tells the truth for you
The kidney is an important organ of our body. Chinese TCM theory also believes that "the kidney is the innate foundation". Therefore, the importance of kidney health to physical health is self-evident. Some friends want to know what the manifestations of kidney failure will be. We will interpret this problem for you from both Chinese and Western medicine.
What are the manifestations of "kidney deficiency" in TCM theory?
Although many friends often talk about "kidney deficiency", they don't necessarily really understand what is going on with kidney deficiency. The concept of kidney in TCM theory does not simply refer to our kidneys, but is a concept that combines the yin and yang theory of zang-fu organs to deal with related problems in the body.
In Chinese TCM theory, kidney deficiency is still a concept of "consumption". Fatigue, serious illness for a long time, improper treatment, etc., may lead to physical exhaustion, and kidney deficiency is a very typical one.
Briefly introduce several classifications and symptoms of kidney deficiency-
- Kidney qi deficiency: Shenpi fatigue, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, frequent and clear urination, thin leucorrhea, pale tongue, weak pulse. Kidney yin deficiency: backache, nocturnal emission, atrophy and weakness of the legs, five heart upsets and heat, dizziness, tinnitus, dry mouth and sore throat, red cheeks, red tongue, less fluid, deep and thin pulse. Kidney yang deficiency: pain in the lower back, polyuria or incontinence, pale complexion, aversion to cold, cold extremities, diarrhea due to the clearing of the lower limbs, or diarrhea, pale and fat tongue with tooth marks, white coating, and a deep and slow pulse. According to the above different situations, the direction of conditioning and nourishing kidney deficiency is also different. For example, for the problem of kidney qi deficiency, choosing Dabuyuanjian is often more symptomatic. Zuogui Pill is a suitable conditioning drug, while for friends with kidney yang deficiency, Guifu Dihuang Pill, Yougui Pill and other drugs have better conditioning effects. What are the manifestations of "bad kidneys" in Western medicine? If we look at kidney failure from the perspective of physiology or Western medicine, it usually refers to kidney-related diseases or kidney health problems caused by the decline of kidney function. In terms of external features, usually severe low back pain, oliguria, hematuria and other problems may occur in the case of acute kidney stones and other diseases. There will be no clear specific symptoms in the early stage. The so-called "foamy urine", "turbid urine" and other symptoms may be related to changes in renal function, but they may also be physiological, and it is not possible to accurately determine whether the renal function is certain. something is wrong. If you want to know if your kidney function really has a problem, the best way is to check the relevant indicators. For those who do not have the habit of regular physical examinations, you can consider the timing and interval of checking renal function based on your own health status. If you have some chronic diseases that may cause kidney damage, such as high uric acid, hypertension, diabetes, etc. In this case, you should check your own kidney function regularly. If you find the problem of microalbuminuria, it means that the filtering function of our kidneys has begun to decline. At this time, if you can actively pay attention and do a good job Conditioning, the process of further decline in renal function will be greatly delayed, and if it is not detected early, the problem of elevated creatinine has already occurred, and the decline in renal function at this time has exceeded 50%. Therefore, for friends who want to know whether their kidneys are good or not, it is recommended not to wait for clear symptoms to consider checking and controlling the improvement of kidney function. For example, if kidney function is not good, there is an obvious symptom that causes electrolyte metabolism disorders and causes acid in the body. Poisoning, edema and other problems, but when such problems and symptoms appear, the kidney function has been damaged for a long time, and the degree of damage to the kidney function has been very serious. It was really too late. Written at the end: Regarding the problem of kidney health, whether it is the "kidney deficiency" in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, or the decline of renal function in the physiological sense, we should actively pay attention to it. The kidney is not only an important blood filtering organ of the body, but also a A hormone secreting organ, the health of the kidneys is very important to maintain the overall health of the body.
