The kidney is actually a very magical organ.
There are many people around who always say that their liver is not good and their stomach is not good, but few people will say that their kidneys are not good.
But in fact, the mainland is the world's largest country with chronic nephritis, with nearly 132 million patients with kidney disease and a prevalence rate of 10.8%, which is equivalent to 1 in 10 adults with chronic kidney disease.
What is the main role of the kidney in the human body?
The kidneys, in fact, are the "purification factory" of the human body, and their main function is to generate urine and excrete various metabolic wastes and toxins in the body in a timely manner through urination.
In addition to excluding urine, the kidneys purify blood, regulate blood pressure, promote hematopoiesis, eliminate excess salts from the body, and prevent osteoporosis.
If the kidneys are not good, if they are not paid attention to, it is likely to eventually develop kidney failure, that is, uremia.
Always falling in love with the toilet, does that mean that the kidneys are not good?
Since the biggest function of the kidneys is to eliminate metabolic waste in the human body, in order to better promote the discharge of urine, everyone should drink more water at usual times.
Through the replenishment of water, it can effectively dilute the blood, reduce the viscosity of the blood, improve the speed of blood circulation, and thus promote the health of the kidneys.
But some people will keep going to the toilet after drinking water, and some people think that this is a precursor to bad kidneys?
Going to the toilet regularly does not mean that the kidneys are necessarily bad
When it comes to "kidney deficiency", in addition to the unsatisfactory sex life, everyone often thinks of frequent urination, nocturia, hematuria and other phenomena, but in fact, these are not necessarily kidney problems.
Frequent urination, which may be triggered by these causes:
First, the intake of water is too little
The water intake in the body will be insufficient, and the number of times to go to the toilet will be very small, but if a large amount of water is suddenly ingested in the recent period of time, it will lead to an increase in the amount of urine inside the bladder, which will stimulate the cerebral cortex to produce urinary intentions, making the bladder sensitive, as long as you drink water, you want to go to the toilet.
Therefore, in daily life, patients should always remember to replenish water, the daily water intake is best kept at about 2000ml, do not wait until thirsty to drink water.
Second, the bladder is too small
When urine accumulates inside the kidneys, it enters the bladder through the ureters for storage.
The amount of urine and the size of the bladder volume have a great relationship, excluding various disease factors, if the bladder volume is relatively small, then the amount of urine stored in the bladder will be correspondingly small, resulting in patients can easily produce urinary intentions, as long as they drink a little water and want to go to the toilet.
Third, habitual urination
Some people usually have the habit of holding urine, if you only hold urine once or twice, it will not affect the health of the body.
But if you hold urine for a long time, the sensitivity of the bladder to urine will increase, so that the urge to go to the toilet will soon occur after drinking water.
Not only that, but holding urine for a long time can hinder the health of the kidneys and bladder, causing the color of urine to change. Therefore, everyone tries not to hold urine in life, and fundamentally reduce the frequency of going to the toilet.
Diseases such as urinary tract infections can also damage the health of the kidneys
Although kidney problems are not necessarily the main cause of frequent urination.
However, if you want to cause frequent urination such as urinary tract infection and prostate abnormalities, if you do not deal with it in time, it will still affect kidney function for a long time.
Urine is mainly formed in the kidneys, if the kidney function is abnormal, suffered a certain injury, then the production of urine will be affected, the bladder site will become very sensitive, as long as a little urine will have a sense of urine, and eventually induce the problem of frequent urination.
These phenomena occur in urination, and vigilance is abnormal renal function
---- hematuria
In simple terms, hematuria is blood in the urine, which is mainly divided into two conditions---- gross hematuria, and blood found during urine testing.
Most of the gross hematuria is caused by urinary tract infections and stones, and a few are caused by abnormal development of the urinary system such as kidneys and ureters, and may also be tumors.
Especially for the elderly, if gross hematuria is found, it is necessary to conduct tumor examination and go to the hospital in time for medical treatment, especially if the gross hematuria does not feel pain.
If blood is found in the urine during the urine examination, then it is necessary to take positive treatment according to the cooperation of the doctor.
