1, urine has many colors.
1. Colorless: It means that the candidate has drunk a lot of water and may want to go to the toilet.
2. Pale yellow: It means that the urine color of the subject is normal and the body is not short of water for the time being.
3. Dark yellow/amber: It is normal, but it is best to drink water quickly.
4. Dark brown (such as syrup): It suggests that the human body may be accompanied by liver disease or severe dehydration. Replenish water as soon as possible. If the urine color continues to be dark brown, seek medical advice promptly.
5. Light pink or light red: In this case, you need to rule out whether you have eaten beets, blueberries or rhubarb recently. If not, candidates may be accompanied by hematuria. This situation may occur in kidney diseases, tumors, urinary tract infections, prostate diseases and so on. Therefore, once urine of this color appears, please seek medical advice in time.
6. orange: this situation may be due to insufficient drinking water. If the urine color change caused by food is excluded, then the subject may have liver or bile duct diseases and need to seek medical attention in time.
7. Blue or green: Well, this situation is really different. Some very rare genetic diseases may cause urine to turn blue or green, and some special urinary tract infections may occur. But it is more common because of diet or taking drugs. Although there is no life-threatening, if this situation persists, let's go to the hospital.
8. Foamy: If there is occasional foam in the urine, don't worry too much, this situation is mostly harmless. Sometimes frothy urine indicates that the subject may have taken too much protein or have kidney disease. If this situation persists, you need to seek medical attention in time.
9. External causes: taking certain foods or drugs often changes the color of urine, such as some special drugs, laxatives, chemotherapy drugs and some dyes used to diagnose urinary tract infections. Can candidates carefully recall whether they have taken similar drugs?
The problem of urine is not necessarily the problem of kidney.
Speaking of "kidney deficiency", in addition to unsatisfactory sexual life, people often think of frequent urination, nocturia and hematuria, but these are really not necessarily kidney problems.
Frequent micturition and nocturia: In fact, infection and abnormal mental mood are common causes of frequent micturition. Among men, prostate problems also account for a large part. Kidney problems are really not the main cause of frequent urination. For example, frequent urination caused by urinary tract infection and prostate problems will have little effect on renal function if measures are taken in time and actively treated when symptoms first appear. But if it is not treated for a long time, it will also affect renal function.
Hematuria: Simply put, hematuria means that there is blood in the urine. This is divided into two situations. If there is gross hematuria, you can see that there is blood in the urine, indicating that there is more bleeding. Blood was also found in the urine test. Gross hematuria is mostly caused by urinary tract infection and stones. In addition, among young people, abnormal development of urinary system such as kidney and ureter is the most common cause, and it may also be a tumor. In the elderly population, if there is gross hematuria, be careful of the tumor and go to the hospital for examination in time, especially gross hematuria without pain. Sometimes hematuria visible to the naked eye may also be the manifestation of other diseases in urine, so remember to look at it before flushing the toilet after defecation. If blood is found in urine during urine test, it should be treated actively according to the doctor's advice.
2. What is proteinuria?
For doctors, urinary protein is the most closely related index to the kidney. Under normal circumstances, there should be no protein in urine. When blood flows through the kidney, the kidney acts as a filter, filtering out excess water and waste to form urine. These filtered things are all small molecules, but they are relatively small in size. Protein is much bigger. Under normal circumstances, it can't be filtered by the kidneys, so it stays in the blood. Therefore, once protein appears in urine, it is probably that there is something wrong with the "filter" of the kidney.
But for everyone, whether there is protein in urine is invisible to the naked eye. Many people have heard that "there are many bubbles in urine, which may be proteinuria". It is possible, but most urine bubbles are not proteinuria. If bubbles always appear and last for a long time, you'd better go to the hospital to check whether there is protein in the urine. But proteinuria is often foam-free. Therefore, there is something wrong with the kidney, which is rarely found in the early stage. Once the patient feels the problem, it is often more serious.
3. How to protect our kidneys
1. Controlling chronic diseases: It is mentioned at the beginning of the article that chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes will damage renal function if they are not well controlled. Therefore, patients with these diseases must pay attention to controlling blood pressure and blood sugar. Some people think that antihypertensive drugs and hypoglycemic drugs will "hurt the kidney", so they are always taboo about taking medicine. In fact, in the eyes of doctors, kidney diseases caused by antihypertensive drugs and hypoglycemic drugs are rare. Most people refuse to take medicine, and their blood pressure and blood sugar are not well controlled, kidney is not good.
2. Timely treatment of related diseases: Although nocturia and hematuria are not necessarily caused by kidney problems, if they are not actively treated, they will also affect renal function for a long time.
3. Regular physical examination: Some chronic kidney diseases are related to heredity. If you have a close relative with chronic kidney disease at home, you should pay more attention. If necessary, some examinations can be carried out, such as early screening of chronic kidney diseases, which can not only understand the current renal function of patients, but also allow doctors to judge the risk of kidney diseases according to the examination results, and make the next examination plan according to the different characteristics of each person, so as to achieve the purpose of early detection and early treatment. Avoid the occurrence of severe renal insufficiency to the greatest extent.
4. Daily conditioning of kidney deficiency
1. Hit Tai Ji Chuan often. Practice Tai Ji Chuan, preferably in parks with fresh air, under trees and by the water.
2. Self-massage the waist every day: rub the palm of your hand until it is hot, put it on both sides of the waist, and massage the waist up and down with the palm facing the skin until it feels hot. Once in the morning and once in the evening, about 200 times each time.
3. Rub the soles of your feet every day: After rubbing the palms with both hands, rub the right palm with your left hand and the left palm with your right hand, once every morning and evening 1 time, 300 times each time.
4. Do anorectal exercise every day: relax and breathe naturally; Do anal contraction when exhaling, relax when inhaling, and repeat for about 30 times.
5. Do a simple set of gymnastics every day (you can do it several times in a row if you have time):
