Many patients go to the hospital only because they are obviously not feeling well, and as a result, they find that their kidney disease is already very serious and life-threatening, and they even need hemodialysis immediately. Therefore, it is important to find out how to detect kidney disease early, diagnose and treat it in time.
To do this, you can pay attention to the following aspects.
1.No energy
When the kidney function is not good, many wastes are difficult to excrete from the urine, there will be a lack of energy such as mental fatigue, fatigue and weakness. Kidney disease, protein and other nutrients leak from the kidneys, through the urine out of the body, there will also be no energy performance. Some patients will think it is too tired, or other reasons, ignore the kidney problems.
2.Do not want to eat
Not wanting to eat, anorexia, or even nausea and vomiting are also common symptoms of kidney disease. Some patients always go to the gastroenterology or hepatology department first to see if they have stomach or liver disease, and when they don’t have stomach or liver disease, they put it aside and forget to see a kidney doctor, which results in delaying the disease.
3, there is foam in the urine
There are various reasons for foam in urine, among which if protein leaks from the kidneys into the urine, the urine will foam a lot.
4.Back pain
The kidneys are located on both sides of the spine in the waist, so when the kidneys are sick, you will feel back pain.
5.More urine and less urine
A healthy person urinates about 4-6 times a day, and the volume of urine is about 800-2000ml. If the number of times and the volume of urine are too much or too little, you should pay attention to it.
6.Oedema
Drinking too much water, or sleeping too long, too obese, etc., the eyelids, face, calves and other parts of the body can appear a slight edema, or a transient edema, if not, we should suspect whether the kidneys have a problem.
7.Urine protein and urine occult blood
Protein or occult blood in urine is an important sign of kidney disease. It can be clarified by checking the urine routine. However, sometimes non-nephrologists may ignore this point, so it is better to consult with a nephrologist.
8.Anemia
Patients with anemia often go to the hematology department for anemia. In fact, besides excreting waste, the kidneys also have endocrine function and secrete hematopoietic hormones, which can cause anemia when kidney function is damaged.
9.Diabetes
Diabetes can cause kidney disease, and it is called diabetic nephropathy, which is a complication of diabetes. Diabetic nephropathy is divided into five stages, and the treatment is better in the early stage, once it is late, it is very difficult to cure and will develop into uremia. Therefore, patients with diabetes, must often look at nephrology.
10.Hypertension
Hypertension can cause hypertensive nephropathy, also called hypertensive kidney damage, so people with hypertensive disease should pay more attention to it. Of course, kidney disease can also cause high blood pressure, blood pressure if high, beware if you have kidney disease.
11, gout, hyperuricemia
Gout and hyperuricemia are caused by too much uric acid in the blood. For people with high blood uric acid, uric acid will be deposited in the kidneys, causing damage to kidney function.
12, urinary tract infections
People with frequent urinary tract infections, over time, may cause kidney insufficiency. I contacted many patients with urinary sensation, early treatment is not timely, incomplete, and do not understand that it will lead to poor kidney function, the result, such as the discovery, treatment has missed the best time, in short, I hope we usually pay more attention to the early detection of kidney disease, so that we can live a happier, better life!
