Uremia is mainly caused by kidney disease, which can also evolve into uremia with renal failure and kidney cysts if not treated aggressively. Uremia is a very terrible disease, so it is recommended that everyone should do a good job in kidney health care and actively prevent the occurrence of uremia.
So what are the causes of uremia? Probably related to the following three factors, it must not be underestimated.
1. Urinary tract infection
Infections of the urinary system can easily evolve into uremia. Therefore, try to take measures to actively prevent and treat urinary tract infections and other urinary tract diseases.
In addition, it is recommended to develop the habit of drinking water regularly, which can promote human metabolism and eliminate harmful substances in the urethra.
2. Kidney disease
Kidney disease is a major factor in uremia. Therefore, everyone should do their best to pay attention to kidney health and correct unhealthy living habits. If you have kidney disease, it is recommended to actively cooperate with treatment.
If it is not treated in time, it will lead to serious consequences and cause various complications. After suffering from renal failure and kidney cysts, it is very easy to develop uremia.
3. High-fat diet
Frequent consumption of high-fat foods can affect kidney health. Regular consumption of processed foods can also pose a risk to the health of the kidneys. At the same time, poor eating habits are also the main cause of uremia.
In addition, avoid exposure to toxic chemicals, otherwise it is easy to lead to the occurrence of uremia.
So in life, what types of people are prone to uremia?
1. Patients with diabetes
Patients with diabetes, it is recommended to do a good job in uremia prevention, try to control blood sugar, and avoid fluctuations in blood sugar.
If blood glucose fluctuates too much, the effect on the kidneys will also expand, and it will also lead to lesions in other organs. In addition, diabetics should not only control blood sugar, but also do a good job in kidney health care.
2. Patients with hypertension
Patients with hypertension should take measures to prevent uremia. If high blood pressure is not controlled in time, it can easily evolve into uremia.
High blood pressure can also bring a variety of complications, which are extremely harmful to the human body. Therefore, patients with hypertension should measure blood pressure regularly and try to control blood pressure within the normal range, otherwise it will have a great impact on the kidneys.
3. Patients with urinary system diseases
Patients with urinary tract infections should try to take measures to prevent uremia. Infectious diseases of the urinary system, which are easy to evolve into uremia, seriously damage the health of the kidneys and affect the normal operation of kidney function.
Patients are advised to treat urinary system diseases in a timely manner and pay attention to the health of the kidneys.
The above introduces people who are prone to uremia. So, how should uremia be prevented in life?
1. Maintain a reasonable diet
The diet is mainly low in protein and low in fat, which has a protective effect on the kidneys. To prevent failure of kidney function, protein intake must be controlled.
Protein intake is usually limited by glomerular filtration rate. Try to choose high-quality proteins, such as lean meat or fish, and limit the intake of plant proteins, such as soy products such as soybeans.
2. Prevention of chronic renal failure
Uremia is the end-stage of chronic renal failure. The kidneys are innervated by visceral nerves, so they are less sensitive to pain.
Kidney function impairment is a slow process because the body adapts to this change without obvious symptoms, so it is easy to overlook. When the disease exceeds the capacity of the kidneys, obvious symptoms appear.
Therefore, acute and chronic glomerulonephritis, lupus nephritis and other diseases should be actively treated. At the same time, the causes of kidney disease, such as diabetes or hypertension, should be eliminated.
3. Rational use of drugs
According to the doctor's recommendation, the rational use of ACE inhibitors can control systemic blood pressure, correct glomerular hyperperfusion in time, and delay the occurrence of renal failure.
4. Avoid risk factors
Infections, dehydration, urinary tract stones, trauma, enlarged prostate and the use of drugs that are toxic to the kidneys can exacerbate kidney disease and cause kidney failure.
Therefore, you should go to the hospital regularly for examination and eliminate risk factors in time. Correct bad habits, avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and avoid eating foods with high salt.
In summary, the production of uremia is caused by kidney disease, urinary system disease or long-term high-fat diet.
Therefore, it is recommended that everyone maintain a reasonable diet in life, limit the intake of plant protein, actively prevent chronic kidney disease, in addition to quitting smoking and alcohol, and maintain a light diet. Go to the hospital regularly for medical examinations to avoid uremia.
