As a disease with high morbidity and mortality, the early symptoms of kidney disease are hidden, and many people often get kidney disease unknowingly. Improper diet, drug abuse, neglect of colds, long-term urine holding and other daily habits are most likely to damage the health of the kidneys. The kidneys are overwhelmed by the desire to eat Many people’s kidney disease is unknowingly “eat” out. The kidneys are an important organ responsible for excreting waste and toxins in the human body. Eating too much salt, too much sweet, too much oil, too much protein will increase the burden of the kidneys, long-term high workload, the kidneys will naturally be prone to disease. Liu Dongwei, Department of Nephrology, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University Eating too much salt is also likely to trigger high blood pressure. Hypertension is a systemic disease, and it and kidney disease are often a pair of “twin sisters”. In recent years, the incidence of kidney damage caused by hypertension has been increasing. Therefore, daily life should adhere to a low salt diet, the daily intake of salt should be 5 to 6 grams more appropriate. Eating too sweet, too oily will not only increase the burden on the kidneys, but also trigger obesity. Obesity will lead to an increase in the fat content, weight, volume and glomerular hypertrophy of the kidneys. Obese patients are also prone to insulin resistance, which can lead to diabetes. About nearly 40% of diabetics develop diabetic nephropathy, which is one of the most difficult kidney diseases to treat. Eating too much protein can lead to an increase in blood uric acid concentration in the body, triggering hyperuricemia. Elevated blood uric acid concentration is very toxic to the kidneys and can easily cause lesions in the renal tubules and interstitium, eventually developing into chronic renal failure, or uremia. Mr. Wang recently had a cold, headache and nasal congestion, so in order to quickly get rid of the suffering of the cold, he casually ate a few tablets of cold medicine at home. After a day to see the symptoms did not ease, he took a few more antibiotics. Unexpectedly, that afternoon, Mr. Wang suddenly felt back pain, and after a while even waist can not straighten up. After being taken to the hospital, doctors diagnosed Mr. Wang with acute nephritis. Such as Mr. Wang due to
The kidney damage caused by drug abuse has become a common occurrence in recent years. Many of the “waste” produced in the body is excreted by the urine through the kidneys, including the metabolites of drugs in the body. Some drugs have significant toxic effects on the kidneys, including antibiotic drugs such as gentamicin and kanamycin, non-steroidal antipyretic and analgesic drugs, and some compounded cold medicines. Therefore, patients without a clear diagnosis of bacterial infectious cold should not self-administer antibiotic drugs. After a cold and fever should not be taken at will, but under the guidance of a doctor according to their own symptoms correctly. In particular, people with poor kidney function and those who already suffer from chronic kidney disease should be more careful with their medication. In addition to the above-mentioned drugs, long-term use of certain anti-tumor chemotherapy drugs, Chinese diet pills, female contraceptive drugs, etc. can also cause different degrees of kidney damage. Ignore the cold kidneys quietly sick A cold on the indiscriminate use of antibiotics can damage the kidneys, but if you drag on without seeing a doctor and ignore treatment, seemingly not serious cold, laryngitis and other diseases can also cause kidney disease. This is because infection is also a common factor leading to kidney disease. Acute pharyngitis and acute upper respiratory tract infections can easily cause acute attacks of acute glomerulonephritis or chronic nephritis. Therefore, whenever the weather turns cold or the temperature changes significantly, there is an increase in the number of new kidney disease patients and those with aggravation in hospitals, and many kidney disease patients have a history of cold before the onset of the disease. It is found that the onset of acute glomerulonephritis is mostly related to Streptococcus haemolyticus infection, and there is a certain latent period for the onset of this nephritis, and patients usually develop the symptoms of nephritis only after the symptoms of cold have been reduced or subsided. The main manifestations are: hematuria, i.e., cloudy red-brown urine; edema, which mostly appears first on the face, especially at the eyelids, and in severe cases, also on the lower limbs, in addition to headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, loss of appetite and other systemic symptoms. Therefore, if the above symptoms appear after a cold, the treatment of acute nephritis must not be neglected. In addition to common upper respiratory tract infections, pneumonia, hepatitis and other common infectious diseases can also cause different types of kidney disease. In order to protect the health of the kidneys, you should strengthen exercise in daily life, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, improve the body’s immunity, and actively prevent colds and flu, don’t let the virus damage the kidneys. Be careful of holding urine for a long time to hold out nephritis Some insignificant bad habits in daily life can also trigger kidney disease. Miss Zhang usually work very busy, a busy forget to drink water, the toilet is often “delayed again and again”, a long time to develop the habit of holding urine. Last year, the unit organized a physical examination, Miss Zhang found that she had chronic nephritis. Long-term holding urine is not only easy to cause bladder damage, urine stays in the bladder for a long time is also very easy to cause bacterial reproduction, once the reflux back to the ureter and kidneys, the toxic substances will cause kidney infections, resulting in urinary tract infections, nephritis and even uremia. Therefore, even if you are busy at work, do not forget to drink water and toilets on time. Once the habit of holding urine is developed, it will unknowingly affect the health of the kidneys. Kidney diseases often have no special symptoms in the early stage, and many patients regret only when they have an acute attack or when the disease is in an advanced stage. Once again, we remind you that in addition to regular urine and kidney function tests, you should not ignore symptoms such as back pain, edema, change in urine color, increased urination at night, anemia or untreated hypertension in daily life. Once you find these traces of kidney disease, you must seek medical attention in time.
