Recently, several college students who had not yet graduated came to see me because they were not feeling well, and upon investigation, their condition had reached the stage of uremia that could not be reversed. After careful inquiry, it turned out that they had experienced a change in urine color and an increase in urine foam, and in the last year or so, they had high blood pressure, which they thought was caused by their study tension and did not go to the hospital for further examination, thus losing the opportunity to control the progress of the disease in time. The patients themselves, their parents and I as a doctor were disappointed and saddened that many diseases could have been avoided or prevented if we all had a little knowledge of health care. I recommend an article to tell you what kind of symptoms of early hyperalgesia.
The body is the capital of the revolution. There is a disease that is very insidious and not easy to be noticed before the onset, but it is very scary.
Typical cases
A man in his 30s was diagnosed with uremic syndrome due to nausea and vomiting
This year, 30-year-old Xiao Huang (a pseudonym) lives in Jiangsu, he is sturdy and has inexhaustible strength. Recently, Xiao Huang always feel nausea and vomiting, can not eat, see the person day by day thin, the face of the blood is also gradually no.
In the family’s advice, Xiao Huang went to the hospital for a medical examination. Among the three kidney functions he had done, the creatinine was 1800, which was more than 10 times the upper limit of normal value. Generally, creatinine over 700 can be identified as uremia.
In addition to this, Xiao Huang’s hemoglobin was only 70, far below the lower limit of 110 normal value, which is anemia. Through ultrasound examination, it was found that Xiao Huang’s two kidneys were atrophied, which should be chronic renal failure leading to eventual uremia.
Xiao Huang did the kidney function test again the next day, only one day’s work, creatinine became more than 2000, confirmed the diagnosis of uremic syndrome.
Etiology analysis
Be careful with foam in urine
Suggest that the patient has chronic kidney failure
Uremia is actually not “suddenly” born, in a year or two or even longer years, the body’s symptoms have been slowly emerging. Uremia is mostly caused by chronic nephritis, pyelonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy, polycystic kidney, lupus erythematosus, gouty nephropathy and other underlying diseases. And these diseases mentioned above, except for diagnosed diabetes, lupus erythematosus, gout, hypertension, etc., will be known to the patient before giving birth to kidney disease. Most kidney diseases such as nephritis and pyelonephritis are relatively insidious, usually there is no discomfort and obvious symptoms in the body at all, whether the legs are swollen, whether there is often foam in the urine, these irrelevant details, it is easy to be overlooked by patients.
Xiao Huang has had a lot of urine foam, half a day does not dissipate, legs walking for a long time swollen to hold down the pit of experience, but are rushed through, did not take it to heart. The foamy urine is high in protein, which is a very dangerous signal of chronic kidney failure.
Good work and rest diet to protect the kidney
Watch out for diseases that cause uremia
Do not eat too salty, do not overeat, quit smoking and drinking, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, eat less spicy and greasy food, go to bed early and wake up early without staying up late, usually pay attention to increase and decrease clothing, moderate exercise to enhance resistance, is the most ideal state to protect the kidneys.
If you get sick, whether it’s a fever or cold, or other conditions, seek medical attention in a timely manner. Do not take drugs indiscriminately by yourself, one is to avoid delaying treatment, the other is that many cold and flu medicines have nephrotoxicity, taking them indiscriminately can easily cause irreversible damage to the kidneys and eventually lead to uremia.
Two attention
1, to pay attention to the kidney disease into uremia
Kidney disease can easily lead to uremia, so kidney disease patients should be treated in a timely manner, to follow medical advice to apply antibiotic drugs.
2, to pay attention to urinary tract infections to be treated in a timely manner
Urinary tract infections such as improper treatment can cause retrograde infection of germs, which in turn can damage kidney units and affect the progressive decline of kidney function, leading to uremia.
Early symptoms of uremia
1, fatigue headache weakness
The main reason for this symptom is: impaired cell function, metabolic imbalance, long-term retention of harmful substances in the body caused by neurocytopathy, acid-base metabolic imbalance, electrolyte disorders and renal hypertension.
2.Swelling
Swelling is an early manifestation that can be easily detected in patients with early uremia. Initial swelling is mainly manifested as swelling of the eyelids and ankles, and as the condition worsens, persistent or generalized swelling will appear.
3, nausea and vomiting
The main reason for this symptom is the high blood creatinine in the early stage, the accumulation of toxins in the body can not be excreted, resulting in digestive tract dysfunction, poor appetite, the deterioration of the condition will appear abdominal distention, nausea, vomiting.
4.Decrease in urine volume
The main reason for this symptom is the decrease of kidney filtration function, and many patients will gradually decrease the urine volume as the disease progresses.
