In the evening about a few friends, sitting in the roadside stalls, on the taste of delicious marinated meat, drink a few bottles of night beer, this many people in Chongqing favor of the mid-summer snack way, but the most damage to the kidneys. Yesterday, “blood purification technology standardization and quality control and standardized diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease” seminar held in Daping Hospital, Chinese Academy of Engineering, nephrologist Chen Xiangmei said in an interview with reporters, people’s lifestyle and kidney health is closely related, and night beer is one of the most damaging lifestyle.
Chronic kidney disease is hard to detect in the early stage
”I speculate that the number of people with chronic kidney disease in China is likely to exceed 100 million, with one case in every 10 people in the city!” Chen Xiangmei said that the public can presume they may have high blood pressure based on symptoms such as dizziness, but chronic kidney disease is painless and senseless in the early stages, and it is impossible to tell whether their kidneys are faulty. The development of chronic kidney disease to kidney failure, is “uremia”, suffering from kidney failure, only to rely on dialysis to maintain life.
China currently has more than 100,000 patients on dialysis to maintain life, and this figure accounts for less than 20% of kidney disease patients, many kidney disease patients due to economic and awareness reasons, can not go to the hospital for formal dialysis treatment.
Kindergarten physical examination should have urine routine
Having kidney disease is not terrible, the key is to detect it early. Early intervention properly, patients can still live as long as healthy people. Chen Xiangmei said, now due to chronic kidney disease caused by kidney failure patients are getting younger and younger, even a few years old children can suffer from “uremia”. The early kidney disease can be diagnosed with a routine urine test and an ultrasound.
Chen Xiangmei suggested that the urine routine should be added to the physical examination for children entering kindergarten, so that kidney disease can be detected early and followed up from childhood. In addition, children should have a light diet and not eat too much sugar. Children who are overly obese are also prone to kidney disease.
These four lifestyles are the most harmful to the kidney
1.Eating big fish and drinking beer
Eat a large amount of high-protein diet, such as large fish and meat, will produce too much uric acid and urea nitrogen and other metabolic waste, increasing the burden of kidney excretion.
Drinking large amounts of alcohol can easily lead to hyperuricemia, and these habits can also cause metabolic diseases such as hyperlipidemia, which can lead to kidney disease.
When summer comes, many people like to go to the stalls to drink night beer, while drinking and eating meat, this way has been called by nephrologists “the most damaging way to eat kidney”.
2, stay up late, eat salty, do not drink water
Long-term stay up late, work stress, love to drink strong tea and coffee, it is easy to have kidney function problems.
Salty eating habits will lead to increased blood pressure, the kidney blood can not maintain the normal flow, thus inducing kidney disease.
If you do not drink water for a long time, the volume of urine will decrease, and the concentration of waste and toxins carried in urine will increase, which can easily trigger kidney stones and hydronephrosis.
3, often hold urine
Urine in the bladder for a long time will reproduce bacteria, and bacteria retrograde through the ureter to the kidney, leading to urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis. Once repeated, it will cause chronic infection, which is not easy to cure.
4, indiscriminate use of drugs, too much medication
Long-term use of nephrotoxic drugs can easily lead to tubulointerstitial damage. These drugs include herbs containing aristolochic acid components, such as Guanmu Tong, Guang Fangji, Qing Mu Xiang, etc., as well as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibacterial agents, such as depot tablets, paracetamol, etc., which can easily cause kidney damage.
