What is kidney disease?

Kidney disease is a collective term for common diseases that seriously jeopardize human health, mainly including different types of nephritis, nephropathy, renal failure, kidney stones, kidney cysts and so on. In particular, clinically abnormal urine test is found, or there is a change in the structural morphology of the kidneys, or even an increase in creatinine, urea, and a decrease in renal function, which can be diagnosed as chronic kidney disease if the condition lasts more than three months. According to incomplete statistics, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease among adults in China is about 10%. It is recommended to have regular physical examination every year to check the renal function, renal ultrasound, routine urinalysis these related indicators often in the early stage of kidney disease will be manifested in the urine test abnormalities, the appearance of urinary protein, blood in the urine, when the middle and late stage of kidney disease, there will be a narrowing of the shape of the kidneys, the structure of the disorders, as well as the rise of creatinine, urea. The prognosis of kidney disease is directly related to the early and late detection and the degree of intervention, for example, early chronic nephritis can maintain the stability of renal function through drug intervention to avoid entering the uremia stage, if once creatinine urea increases, then the condition will eventually develop into uremia, requiring kidney transplantation and dialysis treatment. Therefore, kidney disease is very harmful to human beings, we must do early detection and early treatment to prevent the deterioration of kidney disease.
