According to the report of Japanese Journal Modern 65438+February 24th, President Matsuo Takashi, a nephrologist at Matsuo Medical Clinic in Sakuramachi, Tokyo, Japan, recently accepted an exclusive interview with Modern magazine, and introduced the urine test methods specially used to diagnose potential diseases.
Get up in the morning and go to the toilet as usual, only to find that the urine is abnormal, and more middle-aged and elderly people are uneasy about "not getting seriously ill".
Human urine is produced by the kidneys and is also a sign of various diseases. The function of kidney is to filter the metabolites in human blood and excrete them in the form of urine. Originally, there was no protein and blood in the urine, which was caused by abnormal urinary tract caused by renal insufficiency. So urine test is very important.
First of all, pay attention to the "bubbles" produced when urinating. Some patients come to the clinic for examination because the bubbles in urine can't disappear for a long time. Most of them are worried that the bubbles generated by falling will become domes. Actually, don't worry about this bubble. But the urine test was normal. Once urine is mixed with protein, floating bubbles as big as a honeycomb and as white as soap bubbles will appear. If such bubbles appear in the urine, please accept the doctor's diagnosis.
Recently, "eGFR" calculated according to creatinine value, age and sex (calculated by spherical filtration volume) has attracted attention as an index to detect renal function. EGFR is indeed a good indicator, but we should pay more attention to urine protein. Protein leakage in urine is a sign that some abnormal changes may occur in the kidney.
Many people accept the doctor's diagnosis and test urine protein, but ignore it. They naively think that it doesn't hurt or be obvious anyway, so they don't care. But if we ignore this point, the renal function may deteriorate gradually, so we should pay more attention to it.
Pay attention to the color of urine If you excrete bright red urine or cola-like brown urine, you'd better see a doctor. That's called hematuria.
The function of urine is to regulate human body fluids. When the body fluid is short of water, the color will become thicker; When there is enough water, it will be diluted and become transparent urine.
In addition, some people's urine will turn red or brown because of the mixing of muscle components in the blood after strenuous exercise. Generally speaking, it must be noted that there are still unusual red and brown urine at rest after urine test. The cause may be not only kidney inflammation, but also urinary tract problems, such as bladder cancer, cystitis and urinary calculi. Continuous discharge of white turbid urine may be urinary tract infection or protein leakage.
