How silent are kidney problems? How to protect the kidneys? What should I pay attention to at ordinary times?

The way to protect the kidney is simple, but many people may dismiss it, that is, eat more fruits and vegetables, reduce the intake of fat and cholesterol, and control the intake of protein; Eat less salt, drink more water, exercise more, and pay attention to everything, and the kidneys will naturally be healthy.

Don't "eat too much salty food and sweets". Eating (too much) food, whether sweet or salty, is not recommended before going to bed. Excessive salt intake will increase the burden on the kidneys and even lead to metabolic diseases such as hypertension, which is harmful to the kidneys. The same is true for sweets, so we should pay strict attention in life to reduce the risk of illness.

Have a regular physical examination. The kidneys are most afraid of hypertension. The sustained development of hypertension will lead to structural changes of renal arterioles, wall thickening, decreased compliance and decreased renal blood flow. Due to renal tubular ischemia, the concentration function of urine will decrease. Over time, there will be renal insufficiency, which is manifested by the increase of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen, and gradually evolves into renal failure. Therefore, if you want a good kidney, you must first control your blood pressure at a normal level.

It can be said that impaired renal function is very common in hypertensive patients, which is also an important reason why we have been advising the majority of hypertensive patients to control their blood pressure.

Don't "take medicine indiscriminately". If you want to use Chinese medicine for treatment or physical conditioning, it's no problem at all. But you must go to a regular hospital. Unfortunately, acute renal failure or chronic renal failure are caused by excessive use of traditional Chinese medicine. So many cases have sounded the alarm for us, so we must pay attention to them.

Common cold medicines, nonsteroidal antipyretic and analgesic drugs and antibiotics are all on the list. My suggestion is that it is ok to take it, but it must be taken according to the doctor's advice.

Don't drink beverages, such as those containing certain food additives and food pigments. If there is a problem with the kidney, try to avoid all kinds of drinks and foods that increase the burden on the renal filtration membrane. If I just drink water instead of drinks, I just drink water, but the amount of water I drink is relatively large, which is not a big problem for the former kidney is not good, but simply drinking water. Why?

We talked about the filtration membrane, and water molecules are the smallest molecules. It's not a big problem for him to filter more pore water, and he's afraid that the water contains substances that can't be filtered smoothly, so it's not suitable for you to drink too many drinks if you have kidney problems.

Conclusion Because the kidney has a strong compensatory function, people often ignore the hidden diseases of the kidney, and the renal function has irretrievably decreased when it is discovered. In fact, if urine samples are taken for simple routine urine examination during the annual physical examination, renal function can be found in time, treated early and renal failure can be avoided.
