The 4 major kidney-damaging behaviors that ordinary people often do, if not controlled in time, may not be far from 'uremia'

Xiao Xie is 26 years old this year. He is a sunny and handsome young man from Guangdong. The life of young people really starts after work. He loves barbecue. He has a good meal with his friends every night and stays up almost every night to play games.

In addition, Xiao Xie also has a hobby, that is, he likes to drink Coke. He often drinks Coke as water, and drinks two or three bottles a day.

Six months ago, Xiaoxie suddenly lost weight, and developed various symptoms such as proteinuria, loss of appetite, body edema, etc., and did not improve for a period of time. When the hospital checked, it turned out to be the late stage of uremia!

1. Why are more and more people suffering from uremia

According to statistics, the probability of Chinese adults suffering from chronic kidney disease can reach 10.8%, and the number of patients with chronic renal failure can reach about 1 million. When chronic renal failure progresses to the end stage, it is uremia.

Uremia refers to a series of "poisoning" syndromes in the human body that cannot be discharged in time due to renal failure.

There are more and more patients with uremia, which is related to many daily kidney-damaging behaviors of people, such as frequent holding back urine, over-salty diet, eating too well, drug abuse, etc., which will increase the burden on the kidneys, and even induce kidney diseases, which will eventually be caused by uremia. eye on.

Second, uremia is mostly "dragged" out? 4 Symptoms Don't Ignore

Many uremias are dragged out. If the following symptoms appear, you must be vigilant!

1. Edema

After the kidney function is abnormal, water retention in the body may cause edema, such as eyelid edema, facial edema, and lower limb edema, so we must be alert to abnormal kidney function.

2. Dizziness

Some uremia patients will experience dizziness symptoms. On the one hand, it may be caused by the deterioration of kidney microcirculation, which leads to increased blood pressure. of.

3. Proteinuria

A large number of foams in the urine, even severe like hops, and the foam does not disappear for a long time, is the manifestation of proteinuria, proteinuria is a very clear early symptom of kidney disease.

4. Anemia

Abnormal kidney function, erythropoietin will decrease, leading to erythropoietic disorders, which may cause renal anemia, leading to symptoms such as yellow complexion and pale lips and nails.

3. How far is chronic kidney disease from uremia?

The occurrence of uremia is related to many factors, and the progressive development of chronic kidney disease will also evolve into uremia. How far is chronic kidney disease from uremia?

Although the prevalence rate of patients with chronic kidney disease in China has reached 10.8%, among so many patients with chronic kidney disease, only less than 1% actually developed uremia .

Although some kidney diseases are irreversible once they occur, if we can detect and treat them early, we can control the disease and avoid the occurrence of uremia. Patients with chronic kidney disease must protect their kidneys and stay away from kidney-damaging behaviors.

1. Drink plenty of water

Drinking plenty of water can promote the body's metabolism, excrete metabolites in time, and reduce the burden on the kidneys. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure adequate drinking water.

2. Stay away from high-salt and high-purine foods

In terms of diet, try to avoid high-salt and high-purine foods, so as not to increase the burden on the kidneys, which is not conducive to the recovery of kidney disease.

3. Periodic review

For patients with chronic kidney disease, it is recommended to conduct regular reexamination to understand the condition of kidney function. Once any abnormality is found, the treatment plan can be adjusted in time.

The high incidence of uremia is related to people’s daily kidney-damaging behaviors. Many uremias are protracted. Once you find the early warning of kidney function damage, you must be vigilant and seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

Although chronic kidney disease has a high incidence rate, if it can be controlled in time, the chance of developing uremia is very small.
