Kidney failure is always 'silent'? Several early symptoms may have been ignored by you

Uncle Liu is 60 years old this year. He usually has stomach pains every three to five days. When the pain starts, he will take some amoxicillin himself, and he will take it for several years.

Two months ago, Uncle Liu developed symptoms such as chest tightness, decreased appetite, and worsened skin color . It lasted for a long time and did not improve. The family quickly 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 renal 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 slowly damaged.

1. Will I get uremia if renal failure is detected?

If kidney failure is found, will you have uremia? What facts do you know about kidney failure?

Many renal failures are acute renal failures in the short term. If the patient's kidneys are not shrunk and the renal capsule is intact, they can be cured by standard and scientific treatment.

Moreover, kidney 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 kidney failure.

However, abuse of drugs, especially nephrotoxic drugs such as Chinese herbal medicines containing aristolochic acid and antipyretic analgesics , may accelerate kidney damage and induce kidney failure.

Therefore, it is necessary to treat chronic kidney disease scientifically. If chronic kidney disease is not actively treated and indiscriminately used remedies, it may also promote kidney damage and develop into renal failure or uremia.

Second, the early symptoms of kidney failure, many people ignore

As the detoxification organ of the human body, the importance of the kidneys does not need to be said more. If the kidneys fail, it will affect the health of the patient at light, and endanger the safety of life at worst. Therefore, the kidneys must be protected.

Chronic renal failure is a clinical syndrome in which the progressive development of chronic diseases leads to the retention of metabolites such as water in the body, 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 have symptoms such as fatigue, back pain, poor appetite, increased nocturia, and yellow complexion . However, because these symptoms are not unique to kidney disease, they are easily ignored by people.

To determine whether it is chronic renal failure, it is recommended that patients with renal disease undergo regular physical examinations, such as renal function tests, routine urine examinations, and color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system, etc., for early detection and early treatment.

3. The kidneys will not "scream pain"! Many people are still doing these 'kidney-injuring 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 can lead to dehydration, which can lead to chronic kidney disease, and can lead to high concentrations of urine, which can increase the risk of kidney stones. The World Health Organization recommends that at room temperature, adult women should drink 2.2 liters of water a day, and men should drink 2.9 liters of water.

2. Take medicine indiscriminately

It is a three-point poisonous medicine, such as many Chinese patent medicines for nourishing the kidney, antibiotics after a cold, etc., all have certain renal toxicity, and it is not recommended to take them indiscriminately. When taking medicines, be sure to follow your doctor's orders.

3. Eat more 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 behaviors that damage the kidneys will accelerate the damage to the kidneys, and even induce chronic kidney disease, kidney failure and other diseases. However, it does not mean that you will suffer from uremia if you have renal failure. The important thing is that once you find it, you must actively treat it and avoid drug abuse.
