Uremia is 'dragged' out? Reminder: There are 3 symptoms on the skin, it may be that the kidneys are calling for help

63-year-old Li was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease 10 years ago. Although there are no obvious symptoms, she has insisted on taking medicine over the years and has regular check-ups.

But since 2 years ago, Lao Li came into contact with said that taking medicine has toxic side effects on the liver . Not only can the kidney disease not be cured, but it also hurt the liver. Lao Li felt that he hadn't experienced any discomfort in these years, and he didn't know if it was a waste of money after taking the medicine in his stomach, so he decided to stop taking the medicine.

After stopping the drug for more than a year, Lao Li found that his body did not respond at all, and he affirmed his thoughts even more. I was still sharing it with the old men in the community in the yard. Sure enough, the hospital prescribed medicine to cheat money.

However, 3 months ago, Lao Li found that when he urinated, the urine was bloody, and later foamy urine appeared, and the urine became more and more cloudy.

Subsequently, Lao Li's limbs also showed signs of edema, the calf became more swollen, and the itching of the arm became more serious, and the antipruritic ointment did not have any effect.

His son Xiao Li was worried and took Lao Li to the hospital for an examination. Unexpectedly, the final result was uremia developed from chronic kidney disease! At this time, Lao Li regretted it unceasingly, why he insisted on stopping the medicine in the first place.

1. If you have kidney disease, how far is it from uremia?

Statistics show that the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in China is about 10.8%, and the number of people has exceeded 100 million, which means that one in every 10 people is a patient with chronic kidney disease.

Chronic kidney disease is the result of a combination of multiple causes, common causes include diabetic nephropathy, chronic nephritis, hypertensive nephropathy, polycystic kidney disease, obstructive nephropathy, and lupus nephritis.

Chronic kidney disease is a slowly progressive process, not all chronic kidney disease will develop into uremia.

However, if there is no timely and appropriate treatment, chronic kidney disease will continue to develop , and will eventually lead to the outcome of uremia.

2. There are 3 signs on the skin, don't delay

Uremia is not a disease caused by a single cause, it actually refers to the most advanced stage of renal failure caused by all renal diseases.

This also means that once uremia is discovered, it will cause harm to multiple organs and systems of the human body, including the digestive system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, nervous system, and even more damage to the human body.

Although the kidney is an excretory organ, when the kidney function declines, some changes will occur in the skin of the body.

1. Pigmentation

The skin of many patients with kidney disease will have obvious color difference. This color difference can be seen in the palms, toes, etc., and it will be obviously a shade worse than other surrounding skin. This may be related to the accumulation of metabolites on the surface of the skin.

2. Skin itching

Itching is one of the most common manifestations of kidney disease, which can affect the sleep and mood of the patient. Since the garbage in the body cannot be discharged, it will flow through the body with the blood and stimulate the nerve endings of the skin, which can cause intense itching.

3. Scale-like skin

Patients with uremia are often accompanied by dry skin, and the skin is scaly, which is related to the atrophy of the sebaceous glands and the reduction of water in the epidermis of the skin.

3. People who often have 4 habits have healthy kidneys

The development of uremia is closely related to daily work. To prevent the occurrence of diseases, these habits should be developed:

1. Low-salt diet

A diet that is too salty will increase the metabolic burden on the kidneys, thereby disrupting the body's electrolyte balance, making it difficult to discharge excess water, and further increasing the burden on the kidneys.

2. Do not overeat health products

Modern people are often superstitious about health care products, but some health care products contain unknown ingredients, especially Chinese herbal medicines with ambiguous content. If taken in excess or used under contraindications, it can seriously damage kidney function.

3. Regular sleep

At 23 o'clock at night, it is best to start adjusting your state and maintain regular sleep. Adequate sleep can improve immunity, accelerate blood circulation, and help strengthen kidney function.

4. Regular physical examination

Diabetes patients, hypertensive patients, the elderly over 60 years old, and those who are overweight should belong to the high-risk group of kidney disease. Regular urine examination should be carried out. Once changes in urination habits and body edema are found, urine routine examination should be carried out in time. Early screening for kidney disease.

Patients with early kidney disease have more treatment options and treatment opportunities. Don't wait for "dragging" out of uremia to regret why you didn't start changing earlier.
