Relevant research surveys show that the incidence of chronic kidney disease in China is increasing year by year, reaching nearly 10.8%!
According to the mainland population, the total number of people with chronic kidney disease is close to 130 million. Some of these patients can be effectively controlled and the condition does not deteriorate. However, some people will gradually enter the stage of renal insufficiency due to the continuous development of the disease.
It should be known that the decline of kidney function is irreversible, and patients will eventually slowly develop into chronic renal failure and uremia. Some experts have even predicted that 30 million of all patients with chronic kidney disease in the mainland will eventually develop uremia.
Once it enters the uremia phase, it means that the patient's kidney function is completely damaged, and can only rely on dialysis, kidney transplantation and other ways to prolong life. The quality of life and life value of patients are far from being comparable to those of healthy people. Therefore, if patients with chronic kidney disease do not want to progress to the stage of uremia, aggressive treatment is necessary, and patients also need to avoid the following four minefields:
1. Negative pessimism
There are many patients who will have a very negative and overly pessimistic psychology after being diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. Even began to search for relevant content on the Internet at random, obviously the condition is not serious to a certain extent, he has already thought of uremia that may appear in the future, and has lost hope in life.
As everyone knows, after the effective and active treatment of chronic kidney disease, the possibility of developing uremia is actually not high, and in mainland clinical practice, the probability of kidney disease developing into uremia is only about 1%.
If you maintain a negative and pessimistic attitude for a long time, not only will the cooperation with the doctor be reduced, but also affect the immune function, which is not conducive to the stability of the disease. Therefore, patients with kidney disease should maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude towards life and active treatment in their daily lives;
2. Kidney disease is not taboo
Some patients believe that the kidneys are not digestive and absorbent organs, so diet will not affect them, and the better the food they eat, the more conducive it is to recovery.
In fact, this is also a very wrong idea, kidney disease patients long-term overeating, eating too much greasy and high-calorie food, eating too salty, etc., will increase the metabolic burden of the kidneys, cause too much pressure to the kidneys, and even cause further damage to the kidneys.
Therefore, clinical recommendations suggest that patients with chronic kidney disease also need to be adjusted from the diet to maintain the principle of low fat, low sugar, low salt, and low protein diet;
3. Blind medication
In order to get rid of the torture of the disease as soon as possible, some patients may arbitrarily increase the dosage of medicine, or buy some home remedies that have not been scientifically verified, and follow the trend to change the treatment drugs. As everyone knows, these behaviors are very dangerous, and the drugs used by patients with different chronic kidney diseases may vary, and the dosage has been strictly reviewed.
If patients change drugs at will, blindly try folk remedies, and increase medicinal doses, not only may not have the effect of treating diseases, but will increase the pressure and metabolic burden of the kidneys, and may even cause drug-induced kidney damage;
4. No review will be conducted
There are many people who feel that after a period of treatment and the condition has been effectively controlled, they mistakenly think that they have recovered, and there is no need to waste time and money on review.
As everyone knows, the good or bad of kidney function is not judged by their own feelings, and the purpose of the review is mainly two, the first is to understand the situation of kidney function, and the second is to adjust the medication according to kidney function. Therefore, while receiving treatment, patients should be checked regularly according to the doctor's recommendations.
Finally, we should remind everyone that the emergence of chronic kidney disease does not occur overnight, and its treatment is not recovered overnight.
Therefore, in the process of treatment, patients should maintain a certain and sufficient patience, in accordance with the doctor's recommendations for scientific and regular medication. In the process of treatment, we cannot ignore the review work, so that we can plan and avoid the disease from reaching the point of uremia and irreparability.
