Focus on kidney disease, especially chronic kidney disease.

  Chronic kidney disease is a public health issue, with the second Thursday in March each year being World Kidney Day and the United States designating the entire month of March as National Kidney Day. This indicates that more attention is being paid to the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease and that it is being treated as a public issue.  The prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease has several aspects, first of all, we should start from risk factors (there are many risk factors for kidney disease, including age, diabetes, hypertension, systemic or urinary tract infections, elevated uric acid, urinary tract obstruction, urinary tract or systemic tumors, family history of chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, history of nephrotoxic drugs, low birth weight, reduced kidney size, hyperlipidemia, obesity, smoking, etc.). obesity, and smoking are various risk factors that predispose to chronic kidney disease. There are also ethnic factors. There is also social background, some places have heavier environmental pollution, lower economic level, lower level of health care coverage, or lower level of culture and education, etc.) to enhance prevention. If there is enough awareness, timely detection (a simple test is to do a urine routine, as well as kidney function, kidney ultrasound, autoantibodies, etc.) and intervention (early medical consultation). This can slow down the development of kidney disease or keep it from deteriorating rapidly (i.e. uremia). Being able to detect it in time and being able to reverse the disease through aggressive treatment can lead to the goal of treatment.
