Why are there more and more 'uremia'? Remind me again and again: Don’t touch the 3 habits, the kidneys will appreciate you

Aunt Liu, 53, lives in a prefabricated house on a construction site, where the sanitary conditions are poor and rats are often infested. But Aunt Liu, who has always been frugal, doesn't care, as long as there are tiles to keep out the rain and a place to sleep.

Auntie Liu has a habit of putting unfinished meals directly on the dining table and eating them the next day. Perhaps due to her good physical fitness, she rarely eats bad food.

After work was over at noon that day, Aunt Liu returned to the prefab room and ate the overnight food left over from last night as usual . However, within 20 minutes after the meal, Aunt Liu developed symptoms such as general weakness, dizziness, and persistent diarrhea.

At first, Aunt Liu thought that the prefabricated house was stuffy and hot, and the weather was stuffy these days. She might have suffered from heat stroke, so she didn't pay much attention to it. But this dizzy symptom lasted for a week and did not get better.

On Friday afternoon, Aunt Liu had made an appointment with her friend Ahuan to go out for a stroll. Her friend Ahuan yelled at the door for a long time, but got no response. Seeing that Aunt Liu’s room door was unlocked, she pushed the door and went in, only to find that Aunt Liu fainted in bed unconscious...

When she was sent to the hospital, Aunt Liu's blood pressure was very low, her platelets were only one-third of normal, the two indicators of liver function were several times higher than normal, and her blood creatinine soared to 832umol/l. The doctor judged that it was very likely It is a stomachache, heart failure, high potassium and other life-threatening complications caused by it .

Just because of eating overnight vegetables, he actually suffered from uremia?

1. Is overnight food the "curse" of uremia?

Occasionally eating overnight vegetables will not cause uremia.

The reason for incidents like Aunt Liu’s is that Aunt Liu herself has mild renal insufficiency , and she often eats food that has not been properly stored, resulting in bacterial contamination of overnight food, vomiting and diarrhea, and severe dehydration. Acute renal failure eventually developed.

The emergence of uremia is not without reason, it is a non-independent disease, and it is a clinical syndrome of various end-stage renal diseases.

Its appearance is related to the development of kidney disease without timely treatment, indulgence of some bad habits, or minor lesions.

2. When uremia comes, it’s not just foamy urine

Although kidney disease is very secretive, it is not without signs. Grasping these small details may help to detect problems early.

1. Foamy urine

Foaming in urine is very common, but if there is a large amount of foam that persists for a long time, you should pay attention to it . Foamy urine is one of the most common manifestations of kidney damage. When the metabolism of renal function declines and there is too much protein in the urine, foam will form, leading to proteinuria.

2. Edema

Body edema is a more typical manifestation of kidney disease, and the edema is unstable when pressed with a finger, and depressions will appear. Generally, it has the characteristics of "light in the morning and heavy in the evening", that is, the symptoms are relieved in the morning, and the edema is aggravated in the evening.

3. Skin itching

Most itchy skin is due to dry skin, but it can also be a signal from the kidneys. Especially in patients with terminal uremia, a large amount of urea accumulates in the blood, which will be excreted through skin hair follicles, thereby stimulating nerve endings and causing itching.

4. Redness of urine

Healthy urine is generally light yellow or transparent in color and has no special smell. Once the urine color is red, it may be caused by hematuria, which is mostly related to urinary tract infection and kidney stones .

5. Waist pain

When kidney stones appear, it may cause waist pain, manifested as acute waist pain or accompanied by malignant vomiting.

3. The 3 things that many people love to do have "broken" the kidneys

Many people's kidney disease is caused by doing, these behaviors are important causes of kidney disease:

Eating too salty : Eating too salty will store excess sodium in the body, which can cause water accumulation in the body, increase blood volume and arteriolar tension, and lead to increased blood pressure. Among those with high blood pressure, the probability of suffering from kidney disease is as high as 27.1%.

Long-term drug abuse : According to statistics, about 20% of adults with acute renal failure are drug-related . Drugs need to be excreted by the kidneys, and long-term medication or medication not prescribed by the doctor can cause drug-induced injury;

Staying up late : unable to meet the sleep time needed by the human body, it is easy to cause changes in metabolism, cause immunity decline, lead to repeated bacterial and viral infections, and induce various risks of kidney diseases.

For people at high risk of kidney disease, in order to understand their kidney health, in addition to routine urine examination, regular menstrual renal function examination and kidney color Doppler ultrasound are also required to develop the habit of regular physical examination for early detection and diagnosis.

People with underlying diseases should actively control risk factors such as three highs and obesity under the guidance of doctors.

The development of kidney disease is very complicated, and a large reason is related to living habits. If you want to keep your kidneys healthy, you must start by correcting bad living habits.
