How to judge whether your kidneys are healthy?

March 9th is world kidney day. Chronic kidney disease has a certain concealment, and abnormal urine or blood pressure may be an early signal of kidney disease release.

In fact, these physical manifestations may be due to kidney disease!

Fatigue, fatigue, backache.

When the renal function is poor, a lot of waste is difficult to be discharged from the urine, and there will be feelings of listlessness, fatigue and fatigue. At this time, you can check your kidney function.

Unexplained loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting.

Kidney problems can also lead to gastrointestinal problems, so many people with unhealthy kidneys will have poor appetite, which is often manifested as satiety, inadequate diet and other common phenomena.

There is foam in the urine

If there are fine bubbles floating on the surface of urine, it is not easy to disappear, so we should be alert to proteinuria; If the bubble is very big and disappears quickly, we should be alert to whether the urine sugar rises.

increased nocturia

Normal people's metabolism is slow after falling asleep, and they should not urinate or only excrete 1 time at night. The amount of nocturia is about 1/4 ~ 1/3 of the total amount in 24 hours. If you often urinate more than 3 times at night, urine at night is more than urine during the day, which may indicate renal insufficiency.

haematuria

Most of them are found to have erythrocytosis in urine under microscope (called microscopic hematuria), and a few are visible to the naked eye (gross hematuria), which can be seen in nephritis or urinary tract infection, kidney calculi's disease, renal tuberculosis, tumor, etc.

Eyelid or lower limb edema

Nephropathy will lead to the impairment of water and electrolyte regulation function, which will lead to the increase of water and sodium in the body. Water often accumulates in the loosest tissue or the lowest part of the body, such as eyelids or lower limbs.

Abnormal urine volume

Urination volume is also an important indicator to measure kidney health. According to health standards, adults have to urinate four or six times a day, which is a normal performance. If the frequency is not enough, or the amount of urination is too small, it means that there is a health problem.

Gout, hyperuricemia

Both diseases are caused by high blood uric acid, which cannot be excreted because of renal function. At the same time, uric acid deposited in the kidney will further damage the health of the kidney.

The kidney is equivalent to the filtration workshop of our human body;

Mainly to deal with the waste in our blood, excess liquid, waste comes from the metabolic process of the body, and we also produce waste when eating food.

The human body needs food to provide energy and absorb necessary substances from food. All the remaining waste is transported into the blood. When the blood is filtered to the nephron, a complex chemical exchange process will occur. In the process of filtration, waste toxins and excess water in blood are removed to form urine, which is then excreted in the form of urine.

In addition, the kidney can also regulate water source, electrolyte and endocrine function.

In life, how should we raise kidneys?

Less salt and less sugar, a balanced diet, quitting smoking and drinking, getting enough sleep.

The average daily salt intake per person should not exceed 5 grams. In addition, eat more monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, soy sauce, soy sauce and other condiments containing more sodium, as well as pickles, pickles, pickles and other foods. Sleep 7-8 hours every night.

Drink plenty of water and don't hold your urine.

Drink at least 1500 ~ 1700 ml of water every day. Adequate water can keep the kidneys working normally, eliminate harmful metabolites in time and keep healthy.

Try not to hold your urine, because holding your urine will easily lead to upward reflux of urine, and urinary tract infection will also affect the kidneys.

Maintain an ideal weight (body mass index)

The ideal weight range actually varies from person to person, but the approximate standard is body mass index 18.5 ~ 24.0. I suggest you keep exercising for 30 minutes at least five times a week.

Carefully regulate the use of drugs.

Be sure to take the medicine according to the doctor's advice, and remember not to add or change the medicine without authorization. Don't eat drugs and supplements from unknown sources.

I hope that from now on, from today on, we can care more about ourselves and realize the subtle changes in our bodies, because we can feel the bigger world with healthy and happy body and mind!
