3 misconceptions that will bring you closer and closer to kidney failure

1. Kidney disease should be "greatly supplemented", and all kinds of tonics should be put into battle

This idea is very wrong! Many people think that the kidneys are damaged, will definitely be "kidney deficiency", so the diet should be enriched, buy some so-called "high nutrition health products", large supplements, such as cordyceps, safflower, goji berries, protein powder and other supplements. But in fact, in these health care "kidney protection" foods, eating too much or eating inappropriately will hurt the kidneys. For kidney friends, kidney protection should be to reduce the burden on the kidneys, and not let more unknown drugs "interfere" with the stability of kidney function.

2. The faster the protein drops, the better? Stop the drug when it turns negative

Protein reduction is not as fast as possible, but more importantly, "stability". From the root cause of urine protein, the key to reducing protein is to control the inflammatory response of the kidneys, inflammation is controlled, damaged glomeruli are reduced, and the leakage of proteinuria is also reduced. Urine protein condition is good or bad can not only look at the urine routine urine protein indicators, plus sign to negative does not necessarily mean that there is no protein leakage, re-examination must check 24-hour urine protein. Compared with patients whose urine protein improved for one week and recurred, those who continued to maintain a 24-hour urine protein quota of less than 1 g or even lower, and had a lower recurrence rate, had a lower risk of kidney failure.

3. Will there be no uremia when anhydride comes down?

After the middle and late stages of kidney disease, many people shifted their attention from urine protein to blood creatinine. Elevated serum creatinine is a manifestation of poor kidney detoxification function, once a large number of toxins accumulate in the body can not be eliminated in time, it is indeed one step closer to uremia but does not represent low creatinine, there will be no uremia, and vice versa.

In fact, after renal insufficiency, the biggest impact on renal function is various complications. These include hypertension, anemia, cardiovascular disease, hyperkalemia, calcium and phosphorus disorders, etc., rather than creatinine values. Therefore, to prevent various complications, kidney friends should regularly review various indicators and not ignore every aspect.
