According to the latest epidemiological survey, male kidney disease has seriously threatened public health in recent years, with an adult incidence rate of 10.8%. Among them, the total number of patients with chronic renal failure (uremia at the end-stage) is estimated to be around 1 million, and they are increasingly looking for young people, with 10-30 years old accounting for 40% of the total. Therefore, once again remind everyone, to pay attention to uremia.

More and more uremia patients are closely related to these four factors, and the occurrence of uremia is closely related to a variety of factors.

The first is bad eating habits. For example, the diet is heavy on taste, and our kidneys are "afraid" of salt. If you eat some foods with high salt content for a long time, due to changes in osmotic pressure, it can cause water and sodium retention and lead to blood pressure. The increase of blood flow in the kidney will increase the blood flow of the kidney and damage the kidney. If this happens for a long time, it will lay a hidden danger for the occurrence of uremia. Long-term intake of large amounts of high-protein foods can produce wastes such as urea after metabolism by the human body, which needs to be excreted by the kidneys. This will increase the burden on the kidneys for a long time, damage them, and increase the risk of uremia.

In addition, long-term untreated chronic diseases are also a major cause of uremia. For example, in diabetes, if the blood sugar cannot be controlled for a long time, it will destroy the stable filtration system of the kidneys, causing confusion and leaving useless creatinine, urea, and other substances behind. In the blood, the useful protein such as protein is filtered into the urine, which eventually evolves into uremia. Or high blood pressure, if it is under high pressure for a long time, it can affect endothelial cells, damage the kidneys, cause kidney fibrosis, and eventually induce uremia.

Blind use of drugs is also very harmful to the kidneys, because most of them are metabolized by the kidneys, such as Chinese herbal medicines containing aristolochic acid, which are inherently nephrotoxic. Uremia.

There are also some bad living habits, such as frequent urination, which can make the kidneys and bladder a relatively "full" symptom, resulting in bilateral hydronephrosis. If not treated in time, it will damage kidney function and eventually induce uremia smoking not only damages the lungs but also damages blood vessels, increasing the risk of renal arteriosclerosis, which can lead to kidney disease over time, which eventually evolves into uremia; and drinking, especially beer, can lead to the production of uric acid, Hyperuricemia can also lead to kidney damage.

In short, the occurrence of uremia is not sudden but evolved over a long period of time, so if you don't want to "provoke" uremia, try to stay away from these high-risk factors.

5 discomforts appear on the body, beware of uremia

The earlier the treatment of uremia, the better, so we should also pay attention to our own health, find relevant abnormalities and seek medical attention in time.

1. There is a lot of foam in the urine

Urine can often reflect the health of the kidneys. When there is a problem with the kidneys, the urine will also change, such as a lot of foam, red urine, brown or dark brown, etc., which means that the kidney function is damaged. Timely treatment is needed, otherwise, when the kidney function loses more than 70%, it will be regarded as entering the ranks of uremia.

2. Edema in many parts of the body

Such as eyelids, faces, lower limbs, ankles, etc., mainly due to the damage to kidney function, resulting in the inability of water and salt in the body to be eliminated in time and accumulated in the skin epidermis.

3. Low back pain

Whether the kidneys are good or not can sometimes be seen by looking at the waist. When the kidney function is damaged, it is unable to excrete toxins in time, resulting in the accumulation of toxins in the body. For a long time, the kidneys will be overwhelmed and low back pain will occur.

4. Headache

Many uremia patients also have headaches in the early stage, mostly due to the influence of toxins and the lesions of human brain nerve cells.

5. The complexion turns yellow

When uremia occurs, there is often the retention of toxic metabolites in the patient's body, which leads to the destruction of red blood cells and the reduction of the number of production, which in turn causes anemia and makes the complexion yellow. Because the initial symptoms of uremia are not very typical, it is easy to be confused with other diseases, so if the above symptoms appear, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis in time, so as not to delay the disease.

What tests can detect uremia?

It is not difficult to diagnose uremia. Generally, it can be diagnosed through some simple procedures. However, due to different personal circumstances, the specific examinations that need to be done also vary from person to person.

Routine urine test (24-hour urine protein quantification): the most basic test, which can give a good initial response to renal function indicators. If the three tests exceed 0.15g, you should be worried about kidney disease. If it exceeds 3.5g, it means that With the presence of massive proteinuria and severe renal impairment, further testing is required in a timely manner.

Renal function test: If serum creatinine and serum uric acid are found to be elevated, it indicates that the renal function has been severely damaged, so don’t be careless.

Kidney B-ultrasound: It can help us determine whether there is substantial kidney disease. If kidney atrophy is found, chronic renal failure should be considered, and further examinations should be carried out in time.

Blood test: When uremia occurs, the patient's serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and other indicators will increase to varying degrees, and abnormal indicators will also appear in the electrolyte measurement because the kidneys are responsible for detoxification and have the effect of regulating water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance. This happens when there is a problem with the kidneys.

Summary: Severe uremia can be life-threatening. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone should focus on prevention, develop good eating habits, try to maintain a balanced diet, stay away from tobacco and alcohol, work and rest regularly, do not hold back urine, and not use drugs indiscriminately. Protect your kidneys from uremia.
