High urea nitrogen may be caused by physiological factors such as high protein diet, but it can also be seen in glomerulonephritis, renal failure and other pathological factors. Measures such as dietary adjustment, medication and renal replacement therapy need to be taken according to the cause of the disease.
1. Physiological factors: excessive protein intake or excessive protein hydrolysis can cause increase in urea nitrogen content, you can ensure the body’s needs at the same time, reduce the intake of protein appropriately, the phenomenon of high urea nitrogen will be gradually reduced.
2. Glomerulonephritis: this disease can have renal insufficiency, resulting in increased urea nitrogen level and creatinine level. Immunosuppressants such as cyclophosphamide and cyclosporine are often used for clinical treatment, and diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide can be given for severe edema. If the effect of drug control is not obvious and the condition is serious, kidney replacement therapy such as dialysis and kidney transplantation is needed.
3. Renal failure: renal failure patients’ renal function is seriously impaired, there will be high urea nitrogen, furosemide and other diuretics can be chosen according to the patient’s condition, and patients with more serious conditions can be helped to maintain renal function through hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Patients whose conditions permit can undergo kidney transplantation to treat renal failure.
All of the above drugs need to be used in accordance with the doctor’s instructions, not blindly use their own medication. High urea nitrogen can be caused by a variety of reasons, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a clear diagnosis, according to the professional doctor’s diagnosis and guidance for treatment.
