The kidney is a very magical organ.
Many people around them always say that their liver is not good and their kidneys are not good, but not many people will say that their kidneys are not good........
In fact, the incidence of kidney disease is much higher than we think
According to the latest data from the authoritative medical journal "The Lancet", the incidence of chronic kidney disease in mainland China is 10.8%. This means that 1 in 10 adults on the mainland has a bad kidney.
As the "purification factory" of the human body, in addition to purifying the blood and excreting urine, the kidney also needs to help the human body regulate blood pressure, promote hematopoiesis, and excrete excess salt from the body to prevent osteoporosis.
Once the kidney lesions occur, the entire human metabolic system is first damaged, and then manifested as hematuria, proteinuria, edema anemia, low back pain, hypertension and other symptoms.
There are many types of nephropathy, which can be divided into glomerular disease, tubular disease, renal interstitial disease, vascular disease and other types according to the different lesions.
Secondly, nephropathy can also be divided into primary nephropathy and secondary nephropathy, which can be divided into acute kidney injury and chronic renal failure if classified according to the degree of renal function damage, reversibility and time of occurrence.
If kidney disease persists and gradually worsens, then its final mentality may also be uremia.
Which chronic kidney diseases must be treated promptly:
First, nephrotic syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome is a comprehensive disease composed of glomerular diseases with the same clinical manifestations but different etiology, such as primary membranous nephropathy, lgA nephropathy, etc., which are mainly manifested as severe edema and proteinuria.
When a large amount of protein is excreted with the urine, the overall protein content in the patient's body decreases, which can easily induce hypoproteinemia.
Nephrotic syndrome also causes a decrease in hemoglobin, which in turn causes intermittent edema.
It is important to note that nephrotic syndrome is variable and may even cause uremia in severe cases. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, it must be treated in time, and treatment methods such as angiotensin preparations, hormones and immune preparations are usually used to control and improve them clinically.
Second, acute nephritis syndrome
Acute nephritis syndrome occurs quickly and has obvious symptoms, such as hematuria and proteinuria. Because of this, it is the easiest to control and treat among many kidney diseases.
In the treatment of this condition, patients need to take antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor to control inflammation in the blood and reduce the leakage of red blood cells.
However, if it is not treated in time, there may also be symptoms such as edema, hypertension, and azotemia.
Third, chronic nephritis syndrome
The development of chronic nephritis syndrome is relatively slow, and there will be urine occult blood and urine protein in the early stage of the disease, but a small number of patients have symptoms such as hypertension and edema in the early stage.
Chronic nephritis syndrome is prone to recurrence, so in the early stages, it is necessary to pay attention to the situation of renal fibrosis, once the glomerular mild fibrosis occurs, it is necessary to carry out relevant examinations and symptomatic treatment in time to avoid severe infection of the glomeruli.
Fourth, rapidly progressive nephritis syndrome
Rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome is a form of kidney disease that is severe and difficult to treat.
At this stage, the patient's kidney function has been seriously damaged, and at the same time, it is often accompanied by symptoms such as oliguria, anuria, and hypertension, and a series of pathological examinations will also find crescent bodies.
Rapidly progressive nephritis syndrome progresses very quickly, and a little carelessness may precipitate acute renal failure with poor prognosis.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, it is necessary to choose a targeted and appropriate treatment plan as soon as possible in order to reduce the incidence of renal failure with a high probability.
There are many types of kidney disease, and effective countermeasures can only be taken if the pathological type is identified early.
Regardless of the type of kidney disease, it is necessary to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and must not abuse the drug on its own, so as not to miss the best time for treatment.
Seeing this, I think everyone has less prejudice and more understanding of the kidneys.
What "he is good for me", "feel the body being hollowed out"... Just listen to it, but don't get too serious.
Bad kidney itself is not a shameful thing, the treatment should be treated, the prevention and prevention should be paid attention to.
After all, once the kidney is broken, what to exchange for it?
