It is not new for young people to suffer from uremia, and it is not an uncommon case for patients with kidney failure and uremia to be found out after a checkup. Because kidney disease is relatively hidden in the early stage and often has no specific symptoms, it is often difficult for people to detect early renal function damage. When obvious symptoms appear, irreversible kidney damage has often occurred, which is why many people find out that they have kidney failure or even uremia.

The reason is mainly that some young people do not pay attention to health checks, and they are also accompanied by bad living habits, which lead to the occurrence of diseases.

1. Not paying attention to physical examination

Compared with middle-aged and elderly people, young people have fewer physical examinations. Young people have "zero physical examinations" when they are studying. As a result, health problems cannot be detected earlier, and timely diagnosis and treatment can be obtained. The complications caused by diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure also include uremia.

2. Stay up late and go to bed late

Staying up late has an impact on the kidneys. 13% of kidney genes are related to biological circadian rhythm. The kidneys maintain the human body's operation 24 hours a day, but the operation of the kidneys also has a "biological clock" system. At night, the blood flow of the kidneys will be reduced by half, and the operating efficiency is lower than during the day. will hurt.

3. Abuse of drugs and health products

Abuse of drugs and health products will also increase the burden on the kidneys, and some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are even toxic to the kidneys. Some traditional Chinese medicines containing aristolochic acid, such as Aristolochia, Guanmutong, Tianxianteng, Zhuifengteng, etc., also have nephrotoxicity and may cause kidney failure. You must follow the doctor's advice when taking them.

The same is true for healthcare products. The so-called "three-point drug is poisonous", abuse, and overdose of health care products will also increase the burden on the kidneys and cause damage to the kidneys.

 

4. Drink beverages like water

In 2020, Guangdong TV reported that there was a dialysis patient in the hemodialysis room of Sanhe Hospital in Huiyang, Guangdong. Everyone always called him "Brother Coke" as a joke. Because I drink Coke as water, I drink at least two or three bottles a day. He was only 24 years old when the doctor diagnosed him with advanced uremia.

 

5. Smoking

A study in 2006 showed that smoking has obvious nephrotoxic effects, which can affect the hemodynamics and histological structure of the kidneys, increase the excretion rate of urinary protein, and then damage renal function and increase the risk of end-stage renal disease.

 

6. Excessive fatigue

 

Overwork is one of the causes of kidney disease. Professor Liu Bicheng, Department of Nephrology, Zhongda Hospital Affiliated with Southeast University pointed out that according to the clinical situation of patients with acute and chronic nephritis, about 70% of patients with nephritis have long-term overwork. related to fatigue.

Because people are in a state of fatigue, coupled with work and mental stress, it is particularly easy to cause the body's resistance to decline. Often, it will lead to repeated bacterial and viral infections, increase the chance of immune response, and easily lead to upper respiratory tract infection, backache, low back pain, Leg swelling, eyelid edema, proteinuria, and even lead to increased blood pressure, dizziness and other manifestations, and eventually kidney damage.

 

7. Frequent holding back of urine

 

Holding back urine not only easy to causes urinary tract infections, but also damages kidney function. If the urine stays too much and exceeds the storage capacity of the bladder, it will flow back to the ureter, which may lead to uremia after a long time.

These abnormalities are the kidneys calling for help!

In daily life, in addition to reducing kidney-damaging behaviors, it is also necessary to detect the "distress signal" of the kidney early. How to detect the "distress signal" of the kidney early? If the following situations occur, be careful that there is a problem with the kidneys.

 

1. Abnormal urine color

 

Normal urine is clear and light yellow. If the color of the urine changes, such as coffee, dark brown, or the color of broth, it may indicate a problem with the kidneys.

 

2. Abnormal urine output

 

The normal daily urine output of the human body is 1500-2500ml. If the daily urine output is less than 400ml, it is called oliguria. If it is more than 2500ml, it is called polyuria. question.

 

3. Increased nocturia

 

Healthy people generally do not urinate more than 2 times at night, and the total amount is generally less than 750ml. Factors such as insomnia, drinking a lot of water before going to bed, or eating diuretic food are excluded. If the urine volume at night increases, or even exceeds the urine volume during the day, you must pay attention and Go to the hospital for an examination.

 

4. Edema appears

 

If a large amount of urinary protein is lost or the water load is too high, people will experience edema. If there are no other problems with the heart or liver, edema should be alert to whether there is a problem with the kidneys.

 

5. Kidney hypertension

 

High blood pressure is a very important signal of kidney disease. If young people are found to have high blood pressure and have no family history, obesity, and other high-risk factors, they should be alert to secondary hypertension, and renal hypertension may exist.

Last but not least, regular checkups! According to the guidelines for the screening, diagnosis, and prevention of chronic kidney disease formulated by the expert group of Shanghai Chronic Kidney Disease Early Detection and Standardized Diagnosis and Treatment and Demonstration Project, regardless of whether there are risk factors or not, it is recommended to detect albuminuria and serum creatinine once a year. For people with a high risk of chronic kidney disease, such as a family history of kidney disease, diabetes, hypertension, hyperuricemia, advanced age (>65 years old) and obesity, etc., primary prevention should be carried out, and urine albumin/creatinine ratio should be tested at least once a year and serum creatinine to estimate glomerular filtration rate.

In addition, the most convenient and economical way to detect early kidney disease is a kidney B-ultrasound examination. It is recommended that these types of people have a kidney B-ultrasound examination every year:

• Over 40 years old, especially men;

• have a family history of kidney cancer;

• obesity;

• Long-term drinking, smoking, staying up late;

• Suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, or chronic kidney disease, especially patients receiving long-term dialysis treatment;

• People are often exposed to radioactive substances, chemical toxic substances, or the working environment are seriously polluted.
