Kidney failure always comes 'quietly'? Several early symptoms may have been overlooked by you
Uncle Liu is 60 years old this year. He usually suffers from stomach pain every three to five times. When the pain starts, he takes some amoxicillin for several years.
Two months ago, Uncle Liu developed symptoms such as chest tightness, loss of appetite, and poor complexion , which lasted for a long time but did not improve. His family hurriedly took him to the hospital for examination. It turned out to be kidney failure and severe anemia.
After the consultation, the doctor said that Uncle Liu's kidney failure was related to the indiscriminate use of antibiotics . Not all stomach pains require antibiotics. It was Uncle Liu's habit of taking medicine based on experience that caused his kidneys to be gradually damaged.
1. If kidney failure is detected, will I definitely get uremia?
If renal failure is detected, will you definitely have uremia? What facts do you know about kidney failure?
Many renal failures are short-term acute renal failure. If the patient’s kidneys are not shrunk and the renal capsule is intact, standard and scientific treatment can generally cure them. It is not that they will have uremia if they have renal failure.
Moreover, renal failure is a preventable, controllable and treatable disease . After suffering from chronic kidney disease, if you can adjust your diet, avoid indiscriminate use of drugs, and control blood pressure and proteinuria, you may also avoid developing renal failure.
However, if drugs are abused, especially drugs with nephrotoxicity such as Chinese herbal medicines containing aristolochic acid, antipyretic analgesics, etc. , it may accelerate kidney damage and induce renal failure.
Therefore, chronic kidney disease must be treated scientifically. If chronic kidney disease is not actively treated and folk remedies are used indiscriminately, it may also promote kidney damage and develop into kidney failure or uremia.
2. Many people ignore the early symptoms of kidney failure
As the detoxification organ of the human body, the importance of the kidney is needless to say. If the kidney fails, it will affect the health of the patient at the least, and endanger the life of the patient at the worst. Therefore, we must protect the kidney.
Chronic renal failure is a clinical syndrome in which metabolites such as water in the body are retained due to the progressive development of chronic diseases, thereby causing various physical symptoms. Chronic kidney disease is generally caused by diseases such as diabetic nephropathy, tubulointerstitial disease, hereditary nephropathy, hypertension and renal arteriosclerosis.
After suffering from chronic renal failure, patients may experience symptoms such as fatigue, back pain, poor appetite, increased nocturia, and yellow complexion . However, these symptoms are not unique to kidney disease, so they are easily ignored by people.
To determine whether it is chronic renal failure, it is recommended that patients with kidney disease undergo regular physical examinations, such as renal function tests, urine routine tests, urinary system color Doppler ultrasound , etc., for early detection and early treatment.
3. The kidneys will not "cry out pain"! Many people are still doing these 'kidney-damaging things'
Since the kidneys do not cry out for pain, kidney disease is known as a silent killer. If you want to stay away from kidney disease, you must do less things that hurt your kidneys.
1. Drink less water
Drinking too little water may lead to dehydration of the body, induce chronic kidney disease, and may also lead to high urine concentration, increasing the risk of kidney stones. The World Health Organization recommends that at room temperature, adult women should drink 2.2 liters of water per day, and men should drink 2.9 liters of water.
2. Medication indiscriminately
Drugs are three-point poisonous, like many Chinese patent medicines for nourishing the kidney, antibiotics after colds, etc., all have certain nephrotoxicity, so it is not recommended to take them indiscriminately. Take medicine, must carry on according to the doctor's advice.
3. Eat a lot of salt
Too much salt in the diet will increase the burden on the kidneys and induce kidney damage. It is recommended that adults consume no more than 6 grams of salt per day.
Many daily kidney-damaging behaviors will accelerate kidney damage and even induce chronic kidney disease, kidney failure and other diseases. However, if you have kidney failure, you will definitely suffer from uremia. The important thing is that once you find it, you must actively treat it to avoid drug abuse.
