In life, we all often hear about the disease "uremia".
If the kidney disease persists and gradually worsens, then uremia may eventually be ushered in.
Once suffering from uremia, it means that the kidney function has been seriously damaged, and there is no way to recover, only through kidney transplantation or dialysis to maintain life.
The 22-year-old boy stayed up late all year round and suffered from a cold and was diagnosed with uremia
Recently, according to media reports: Xiao Li, a 22-year-old college student in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, has always suffered from chest tightness and shortness of breath in recent days, so he went to the hospital for treatment.
After examination, Xiao Li's kidney ultrasound has shown both kidney atrophy, and the disease has progressed to the stage of chronic renal insufficiency uremia, which requires dialysis treatment.
Doctor's response: The young man has not done relevant examinations and physical examinations before, his usual work and rest habits are not good, he often stays up all night to play mahjong, and he often smokes, so it is the most important factor that causes kidney deterioration.
What are the culprits that cause uremia?
In fact, any cause of complete damage to kidney function can trigger uremia. In daily life, these factors are also the culprits of uremia.
First, bad personal habits
Excessive drinking, will bring a lot of burdens to the body's organs, if long-term excessive drinking, will also bring a great burden to the kidneys, naturally it is easy to get chronic kidney diseases such as chronic nephritis, and eventually it will develop into uremia.
At the same time, the heavy metal cadmium in tobacco can also increase the free radicals of the kidneys, leading to kidney cell damage and death.
Second, often hold back urine
Long-term urination will not only cause a variety of embarrassing diseases in the human body's urethra, but also produce irreversible damage to various organs of the body, especially the kidneys, which will worsen into uremia.
Third, use medicine at will
As the saying goes: it is a three-point poison of medicine.
Usually the nephrotoxicity of Western medicine will be marked in the instructions, and for patients with poor kidney function, the corresponding dose will be marked, so it is necessary to choose the appropriate dose and take the method under the guidance of a doctor.
At the same time, the home remedies themselves are very mysterious, and within the scope of modern medicine, there has never been enough research to confirm which home remedies are beneficial to kidney health, and some ingredients still have "toxic side effects that are not yet clear."
Fourth, often stay up late
Staying up late for a long time, the body can not get enough rest, not only will bring a lot of negative effects to people's mental state, but also make people's kidneys overdraw in advance, causing permanent damage.
Fifth, obesity
Obesity is the root of all evil.
People with huge weight, the burden of kidney work will also increase, and obesity will also bring many diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, etc., these chronic diseases will eventually damage the kidneys.
According to the data, obesity itself brings various diseases, which will eventually damage the kidneys.
What are the symptoms of uremia?
Early chronic kidney disease usually has no symptoms, and if it progresses to uremia, it means that chronic kidney disease has entered the middle and advanced stages.
Progressing to the stage of uremia, the most common occurrence of edema, hypertension, anemia and hyperkalemia, as well as digestive discomfort such as not wanting to eat, nausea and vomiting, and stomach distention and acid reflux.
In addition, some patients will also have skin itching, general weakness or muscle soreness, and some patients will also have restless leg syndrome, that is, the legs also feel particularly uncomfortable, feeling that there is nowhere to put it.
As the condition progresses, patients develop hypervolemic heart failure, which is the most painful and dangerous symptom, with difficulty breathing, a feeling of suffocation, and a large amount of sputum production.
Therefore, if dialysis is not carried out at this time, there is a fear of life at any time.
All in all, although uremia is discolored, its preventive measures are not very difficult, and doing relevant preventive measures in life can reduce the damage to the human kidneys.
After all, the kidney is their own, in case it is broken, what to replace it?
