The weather is cold, many patients with hypertension find that their blood pressure is not too "honest", thinking of taking some antihypertensive drugs to stabilize blood pressure, and worried that they will bring threats to health because of long-term medication. After all, many patients have heard that taking antihypertensive drugs and finally getting uremia is a three-point poison of medicine, and long-term eating of antihypertensive drugs also makes people can't stop worrying.
Lao Ge is 56 years old this year, has suffered from high blood pressure for 7 or 8 years, has always been relatively stable blood pressure, and also insists on taking antihypertensive drugs. But in recent times, there has always been dizziness, fatigue, nausea and vomiting and other discomforts, and abnormal edema has appeared in the lower body, and his family has brought him to the hospital for examination. Do not check do not know, a check frightened, Lao Ge's blood creatinine level reached about 750 μmol / L, has belonged to uremia.
He felt unbelievable, he wasn't too old, and he didn't have a long time with high blood pressure. Many of the patients I know have been ill for more than ten years and have not had uremia, so why did he get such a thing?
Patients who have just been diagnosed with hypertension may not yet understand that there is also an "invisible" bridge between hypertension and uremia. The data shows that about 17% of uremia patients have high blood pressure problems, which is also a problem that many hypertensive patients are more worried about after a long period of illness. Some people attribute this lesion to long-term medication. However, it is ignored that high blood pressure itself also damages the kidneys.
Affected by fluctuations in blood pressure in the human body, the kidneys will be damaged as a target organ. Long-term hypertension, more likely to induce glomerular lesions and tubular abnormalities and other problems, if long-term control of blood pressure is not good, about 5 years or so may induce kidney damage. If you have other kidney-injurious behaviors, it is easier to speed up the progress of kidney disease, and over time it is easy to induce uremia.
Even if high blood pressure develops into uremia, it is a relatively fast type. Although he said that he has always insisted on taking antihypertensive drugs to stabilize his condition. But after digging deeper, I also found 3 mistakes, perhaps the "culprit" that promotes high blood pressure to induce uremia, if you also have it, take it as a warning.
Wrong behavior one: the body does not take medicine when there are no symptoms
Although Lao Ge found high blood pressure for 7 or 8 years, he had not taken antihypertensive drugs for the first two years of his diagnosis. At that time, I was only in my forties, thinking that I was not too old, taking medicine every day was what was going on, thinking that my body did not feel, and I did not have to take antihypertensive drugs.
Every three to five times the drug was stopped, and even for a period of time there was no antihypertensive drug at all. During this period, the blood pressure level is also relatively large, and at that time, hypertension may have caused some damage to his kidneys, but it is hindered by the strong "compensatory function" of the kidneys, which has not yet been shown, and has been "induced without occurrence".
Wrong behavior two: poor living habits, love to drink
When he was young, Lao Ge had to drink and socialize from time to time, and when he reached middle age, he gradually became addicted to alcohol, did not drink two or two small wines every day, and his heart was always scratched as badly as a cat. When he was newly diagnosed with high blood pressure, the doctor had reminded him that he must quit drinking alcohol, avoid frequent drinking, and easily hurt his body.
But after less than 2 months of putting up with it, Lao Ge couldn't stand it. Although the number of drinks is less, it is estimated that every week I still have to have a small gathering with friends, drink some wine, and chat. After trying for a while on the edge of "drinking and hurting his body", he felt that it was no big deal, and gradually he let go. But what he didn't know was that drinking alcohol would damage the elasticity of blood vessels and damage the kidneys, and over time, high blood pressure and kidney damage would be a two-pronged approach, and uremia would be approaching step by step.
Mistake three: Follow the trend and take medicine, do not distinguish the physique
Hypertension medication pays attention to the characteristics of individualization, and adjusts the medication according to the condition and the physical quality of the patient. In the summer, Lao Ge's blood pressure was relatively stable every time he measured it, and he didn't take medicine seriously. But in the winter, gradually the blood pressure is not very good, I heard my friend say that the antihypertensive drugs he took had a good effect, and he has been able to stabilize the blood pressure value, and he bought a friend's antihypertensive drugs to eat back.
Who knows that this antihypertensive drug can not be taken casually, and the impact of different types of drugs on the body is also different. Lao Ge initially ate amlodipine, but later changed to nifedipine, or according to the previous old method of taking medicine, from long-acting antihypertensive to short-acting antihypertensive, blood pressure fluctuations, long time, naturally will also pose a threat to the kidneys.
All in all, although Lao Ge is not very old, but not long after suffering from high blood pressure, uremia appeared, in fact, it has a lot to do with 3 wrong behaviors, if you also have such a bad habit, take it as a warning and correct it as soon as possible.
