Kidney disease is called "the silent killer". We often see in the news that you are young and in good health, but you are diagnosed with advanced uremia.
Not long ago, according to Hangzhou Daily, a 37-year-old young uremia patient, Mr. Hu (a pseudonym), was diagnosed by Gao Chan, an attending physician in the Department of Nephrology of Hangzhou First People's Hospital. The diagnosis made the doctor feel extremely sorry. "I wish I had come earlier!"
Mr. Hu is usually busy at work, and feels that he is young and will not have any problems, so he has not had a physical examination for five years. Not long ago, he found himself weak and uncomfortable. He went to the First People's Hospital of Hangzhou for examination and found that serum creatinine reported a critical value. After further examination of kidney disease, it was found that his kidney had serious problems and had developed into uremia.
Dr. Gao Chan said that it is not a case that a patient was diagnosed with renal failure or uremia after examination. Because kidney diseases are hidden in the early stage and often have no specific symptoms, it is often difficult for people to find early renal function damage. When obvious symptoms appear, irreversible kidney damage often occurs, which is also the reason why many people find renal failure and even uremia.
Young man, these behaviors are very harmful to the kidneys!
Many people may wonder why they suffer from uremia at a young age.
In fact, it is nothing new for young people to suffer from uremia. First of all, relatively speaking, middle-aged and elderly people pay more attention to physical examination, but such people can find health problems earlier and get timely diagnosis and treatment. Young people basically have no physical examination during their studies, and they often rely on youth after work. Coupled with their busy work, they do not pay attention to physical examination, but become a dangerous group. Complications caused by diseases such as diabetes and hypertension also include uremia.
In addition, uremia is largely due to kidney damage, which is largely caused by bad habits in our daily life.
1, stay up late
Staying up late has an effect on the kidneys. Deputy Chief Physician Ma of the Department of Nephrology, Shenzhen People's Hospital wrote in his hospital WeChat account in 2020 that kidney gene 13% is related to biological circadian rhythm. The kidney keeps the human body running for 24 hours, but it also has a "biological clock" system. At night, the blood flow of the kidney will be reduced by half, and the operation efficiency will be lower than during the day. Staying up late can lead to the disorder of the "biological clock" of the kidney, and the kidney has no time to rest, which will be very hurt.
2. Abuse of drugs and health products
Ma, deputy chief physician of the Department of Nephrology, Shenzhen People's Hospital, said that the abuse of drugs and health products will also increase the burden on the kidneys, and some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are even toxic to the kidneys. Some Chinese medicines containing aristolochic acid, such as Aristolochia, Aristolochia manshuriensis, Aristolochia manshuriensis, Stephania tetrandra, Asari and Schizonepeta tenuifolia. It is also nephrotoxic and may lead to renal failure. Please follow the doctor's advice when taking it.
The same is true for health care products. The so-called "three poisons". Abuse and overuse of health care products will also increase the burden on the kidneys and cause damage to the kidneys.
3. Drink sweet drinks when drinking water
In 2020, Guangdong TV reported that there was a dialysis patient in the hemodialysis room of Sanhe Hospital in Huiyang, Guangdong Province, and everyone always jokingly called him "Brother Coke". Because he drinks coke as water, he drinks at least two or three bottles a day. At that time, at the age of 24, he suffered from advanced uremia and had been on dialysis for nearly 10 years.
Step 4 smoke
Studies have shown that smoking has obvious nephrotoxicity, which can affect renal hemodynamics and histological structure, increase urinary protein excretion rate, and then damage renal function and increase the risk of end-stage renal disease.
5, excessive fatigue
Overwork is one of the causes of kidney disease. Liu Jiaoshou, a doctoral supervisor in the Department of Nephrology, Affiliated Hospital of Southeast University, believes that according to the clinical situation of acute and chronic nephritis patients, about 70% of nephritis patients are related to long-term overwork.
Because people are in a state of fatigue, coupled with work and mental stress, it is particularly easy to cause the body's resistance to decline. Often this will lead to repeated infection of bacteria and viruses, increase the chance of immune response, and easily lead to upper respiratory tract infection, backache, leg swelling, eyelid edema, proteinuria, and even high blood pressure, dizziness and other manifestations, eventually causing kidney damage.
6, frequent urination
Holding urine is not only easy to cause bladder injury, but also easy to cause bacterial reproduction when urine stays in the bladder for a long time. Once it returns to the ureter and kidney, the toxic substances in it will cause kidney infection, which will lead to urinary tract infection and even uremia.
These are distress signals from the kidneys, please pay attention!
In daily life, in addition to reducing kidney injury behavior, we should also find the distress signal of the kidney as soon as possible. How to find the kidney in distress early? Zhang Hong, deputy chief physician of the Department of Nephrology, Peking University First Hospital, told Health Times in September, 20 18 that in the following situations, we should be careful of kidney problems.
1, abnormal urine color
Normal urine is clear and light yellow. If the color of urine changes, such as brown, dark brown, or the color of broth and watermelon soup, it may indicate that there is something wrong with the kidney.
2. Abnormal urine volume
The normal daily urine output of human body is 1500ml to 2500ml. If the daily urine volume is less than 400ml, it is called oliguria, and if it is more than 2500ml, it is polyuria. Both are abnormal phenomena, so be careful. Maybe there's something wrong with the kidney.
3, nocturia increased
Healthy people generally urinate no more than twice at night, and the total amount is generally less than 750ml. Exclude factors such as insomnia, drinking plenty of water before going to bed or eating diuretic food. If the urine output increases at night or even exceeds the urine output during the day, you must pay attention to going to the hospital for examination.
4. Edema
If a large amount of urine protein is lost or the water load is too high, people will have edema. If there are no other problems with the heart or liver, you should be alert to whether there are problems with the kidneys.
5. Unknown hypertension
Hypertension is a very important signal of kidney disease. If young people find hypertension and have no family history, obesity and other high-risk factors, they should be alert to secondary hypertension, which may exist.
Last but not least, young people should also have their kidneys checked. According to the Guidelines for Screening, Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease formulated by the Expert Group of Shanghai Demonstration Project of Early Detection and Standardized Diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease, it is suggested that proteinuria and serum creatinine should be tested once a year regardless of risk factors. For high-risk groups with family history of kidney disease, diabetes, hypertension, hyperuricemia, old age (> 65 years old), obesity and other chronic kidney diseases, primary prevention should be carried out, and urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) and serum creatinine should be detected at least once a year to estimate glomerular filtration rate.
In addition, the most convenient and economical way to find early renal cancer is renal B-ultrasound. It is recommended that these people have a kidney B-ultrasound examination once a year: over 40 years old, especially men; Family history of renal cancer; Obesity; Drinking, smoking and staying up late for a long time; Suffering from diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, especially patients receiving dialysis for a long time; Personnel who often come into contact with radioactive substances, chemical toxic substances or seriously polluted working environment at work.
