Prevent kidney new rural disease! Adhere to the principles of "5 not protecting kidney" and "33"

According to the data of the National Health Bureau of the Department of Health, 1 adult over 20 years old in China suffers from chronic kidney disease, and it is estimated that about 1.75 million people in China suffer from this disease at present. In addition, according to the health insurance statistics in 2008, the annual medical expenditure on dialysis and renal dialysis is about NT$ 33 billion, which has become a "new national disaster". In order to appeal to the public to pay attention to the prevention and health care of kidney diseases, a garden party was held around the World Kidney Diseases Day on the second Thursday in March, announcing the determination of * * * to illegally sell drugs on the radio and propagating the principle of "Protecting Kidney 33: Preventing Three Elevations+Three Tests without Leaking".

The first priority to prevent chronic kidney disease is not to buy drugs from unknown sources. Lai Qingde, Mayor of Tainan City, and Lin, Director of Health Bureau of Tainan City, said that the reason why China people's kidney diseases remain high is that they love to buy drugs and take drugs indiscriminately, and it is easy to buy illegal drugs from underground radio stations or unknown sources, which harms their wallets and health. However, Taiwan Province Province is the only country with universal health insurance covering dialysis treatment. About 60,000 renal dialysis patients are treated with peace of mind, so the survival rate of patients is among the best in the world, which has been affirmed by the World Society of Nephrology (ISN). Take Taiwan Province Province as an example. In September last year, a letter was sent to the directors of member countries, asking the health ministers of all countries to urge the World Health Organization (WHO) to pay attention to the prevention and treatment of kidney diseases, and to explain that the incidence of chronic kidney diseases can be improved through medical measures.

Lai Qingde said that in recent years, * * * has been working hard to crack down on illegal drug sales on underground radio stations. He also hoped that people would strengthen their awareness of self-prevention and health care, and adhere to the "five noes", including: "Don't trust underground radio stations", "Don't trust drugs prescribed by non-doctors", "Don't buy drugs from unknown sources", "Don't take drugs if you buy them" and "Don't give your own drugs to others".

In addition, with the proportion of elderly patients with chronic kidney disease increasing year by year, Song, director of Taiwan Province Nephrology Society and nephrologist of Chengda Hospital, also called on the people to adhere to the principle of "protecting kidney 33: preventing three highs+three tests without leakage", that is, preventing diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and developing a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and moderate drinking water; Adults over the age of 40 should receive blood tests, urine tests and blood pressure tests regularly, especially those who take drugs regularly for more than 3 months, and should strictly abide by them.
