In the early stage of kidney disease, most of them have no symptoms. If no abnormalities in urine color, changes in urine volume, or no obvious edema or back pain are noticed, they often do not attract attention. At this time, it is difficult to find out whether you have kidney disease at an early stage without routine urine examination. So, what conditions are prone to kidney disease?
1, long-term “stomach disease” to be alert to kidney failure
Many patients with kidney disease are found to have kidney disease because of nausea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal diseases, so if there are problems with the digestive system, such as poor appetite, taste disorders, nausea and vomiting, extreme thirst and other symptoms, we must be alert, timely examination to rule out the hidden danger of kidney disease.
2. High blood pressure
Young people should pay special attention to hypertension if it appears prematurely to avoid kidney disease. Hypertension and kidney disease are always a vicious circle. Hypertension without timely and correct treatment will destroy the kidney blood vessels, causing damage to kidney function and even kidney failure. At this time, the kidneys can not work properly, and blood pressure will be higher on top of the original.
3.Diabetes
Diabetic nephropathy is also a very common complication of diabetes. The early symptoms of diabetic nephropathy include proteinuria, swelling and hypertension, etc. In the late stage, kidney function damage can occur.
4.Lupus erythematosus
Once you have lupus erythematosus, you need to be alert to whether the kidneys also have problems, because the kidneys are the most commonly invaded organ in lupus erythematosus, and the production of a large number of autoantibodies in the blood is the causative element of SLE. The possibility of lupus nephritis should also be considered when a rash appears after sun exposure, or recurrent mouth ulcers, severe hair loss, and fever that cannot be treated with anti-inflammatory or antiviral therapy.
5.Other diseases
When an allergic purpura-like rash appears on the skin, it is important to check the urine. A person infected with hepatitis B virus, whether hepatitis B virus carrier or sick person, should pay attention to check whether he has hepatitis B virus-related glomerulonephritis if hematuria and proteinuria appear. People who are overweight or obese are likely to suffer from obesity-associated glomerulopathy.
6, have a family history of kidney disease
In the clinic found that some patients have a family history of kidney disease, their relatives also have kidney disease. Therefore, people with kidney disease in their relatives should be alerted, and it is best to go to the hospital regularly for examination.
7. Cold and fever or tonsillitis
If you have red urine or strong tea, coffee or soy sauce color, or more foam in the urine with edema of the eyelids and lower limbs, you should have a routine urine examination in time. This is because at this time, it is easy to develop various types of glomerulonephritis, such as common acute glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome or acute glomerulonephritis, etc.
8, long-term medication
Long-term medication may also damage the kidneys, especially the abuse of antibiotics, long-term use of antipyretic and analgesic drugs should be beware of kidney disease.
9.The habit of urination has changed
A significant increase in the amount of urine every day, especially an increase in nocturnal urine and more urine at night than during the day, may be a result of interstitial renal tubular disease. If you did not get up to urinate at night before, but now you get up to urinate 3~4 times every night, and each time you urinate a lot, you should pay attention to whether you have hypertensive nephropathy, uric acid nephropathy, or drug-related kidney injury.
10.Incidental finding of elevated blood creatinine
You should also look carefully for various possible causes. For example, whether the kidney size and shape are normal, and how the trend of kidney function is changing.
