The kidney is an important organ of the human body, it is located on both sides of the back of the human waist, the main role is to produce urine, and by excreting urine to take away excess waste in the body, but also has the effect of stabilizing blood pressure and balancing internal metabolism.
In recent years, the incidence of kidney disease in China has continued to rise, if the kidney function is not good, do not know how to improve, it is likely to lead to kidney failure, endangering life safety.
Clinically, renal failure refers to a variety of kidney diseases, serious will also cause multi-organ failure, so once the early detection of renal function decline signals, it is necessary to timely conditioning.
First, a series of gastrointestinal symptoms
Due to the decline in kidney function, the detoxification ability of the kidneys decreases, and too many toxins in the body will affect the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in a decrease in gastrointestinal function, so patients will have symptoms such as decreased appetite and repeated nausea.
Especially in patients with edema, it will also affect the rate of gastrointestinal peristalsis, resulting in a series of indigestion symptoms, at this time patients can take some drugs to alleviate, but do not take drugs casually, be sure to listen to the doctor's arrangement.
Second, unimaginable low back pain
Many people do not have lumbar spine disease, but recently often feel low back pain, which may also be related to the decline in kidney function, and with the development of the disease, patients will feel one side of the lumbar pain, especially when some acute kidney disease attacks, it will also cause fever, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.
If not treated aggressively, the pain will become more and more severe, and the pain may affect normal life if the pain is unbearable.
Third, do not ignore abnormal edema
If edema has recently developed frequently, mainly in the eyelids and face, and does not resolve for a long time, it is likely to be related to decreased renal function.
After all, the role of the kidneys is metabolism, when the relevant functions decline, the water can not be abundant metabolism, too much water in the body, it will lead to edema, some patients will also have generalized edema.
Of course, edema is very common in daily life, or it may be too much water at night, and after getting up in the morning, it is easy to have an edema reaction, which does not need to be too worried.
Fourth, abnormal blood pressure
There is a complementary relationship between the kidneys and blood pressure, and the angiotensin and epinephrine excreted by the kidneys are important for maintaining blood pressure stability.
And when the kidney function declines, not only will it lead to water and sodium retention, but also the internal excretion function will be affected, resulting in abnormal blood pressure, which must be paid attention to at this time.
Fifth, urinary disorders
Urine is formed by the kidneys, and once renal function declines, the patient will develop a series of urinary disorders, as well as the function of the tubules and glomeruli;
For example, when some components in the blood flow through the kidneys, they cannot be filtered and absorbed normally, and these components will enter the urine, resulting in urine foam, urine color change or urine odor.
In addition, due to the decline in renal function, uric acid excretion is abnormal, and it will also lead to excessive accumulation of uric acid in the kidneys, which can induce hyperuricemia and even gout.
Once the above 5 symptoms appear, you should be highly vigilant, it is best to go to the hospital in time to check and understand the treatment, the early decline in kidney function can be improved, do not allow the disease to develop, so as not to cause uremia due to kidney failure.
You need to know that kidney health is closely related to good health, so it is necessary to maintain kidney function in order to live a long and healthy life.
