The kidneys are important organs in the human body, and their main role is to produce urine, excrete metabolic waste and toxins in the body, and maintain a balance of water, electrolytes and acids and alkalis.
In recent years, the incidence of kidney disease has shown an increasing trend year by year, of which uremia is the most important. Kidney disease is a life disease, and many bad habits will cause damage to your kidneys.
What poor lifestyles can harm the kidneys?
1, high-salt diet, stay up late, drink less water
If the patient stays up late for a long time, the pressure is too high, the love of drinking strong tea, and the drinking of strong coffee may cause abnormal kidney function;
High salt content will lead to an increase in blood pressure, the amount of blood flowing into the kidneys will be reduced, resulting in renal ischemia, hypoxia, and over time kidney disease;
Drinking less water will inevitably reduce the amount of urine, the concentration of excreta and toxins will increase, and in the long run, kidney stones and hydronephrosis will be triggered.
2, like to drink beer and eat seafood
Excessive intake of high-protein foods will lead to excessive intake of metabolites, such as urea nitrogen, uric acid, etc., which are excreted through the kidneys and will increase the burden on the kidneys;
Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to hyperuricemia, hyperlipidemia, when the content of uric acid in the blood is too high, crystals will precipitate in the kidneys, and too much crystal deposition will lead to kidney lesions.
3. Use medicine at will
Many drugs have nephrotoxicity, such as antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, Aoki Xiang, Guan Mu Tong and other drugs, long-term use of these drugs will lead to damage to the renal tubule interstitial, resulting in the occurrence of kidney disease.
4. Long-term urinary holding
Prolonged urination can lead to prolonged urine retention, an increase in the number of bacteria, and bacteria that enter the kidneys in a reverse direction through the ureter, causing urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis. Long-term episodes can evolve into chronic inflammation, which is difficult to completely cure.
What are the symptoms of people with bad kidneys?
1, no appetite
If there is no food, anorexia, nausea, vomiting and other behaviors, it may be that there is a kidney problem, and it is necessary to go to the liver disease or gastroenterology department for examination. If there is no problem with the liver and stomach, it is kidney disease.
2. There is foam in the urine
The first symptom of kidney disease is that there are bubbles in the urine, and there is a layer of foam in the urine that does not disappear for a long time, which is due to the fact that protein will ooze from the kidneys, increasing the tone of the urine, so foam will appear.
3. Physical weakness
Kidney function is not good, the body's metabolic waste and toxins can not be discharged in time, which will lead to physical weakness, fatigue, mental difficulties and so on. After kidney damage, various nutrients are excreted through the urine, resulting in weakness.
4. Abnormal urination
The amount of urine in adults is generally around 4-6 times. If the patient's urination frequency and amount of urination are increasing or decreasing, then the kidney problem needs to be considered.
5. Anemia
The kidneys can not only excrete waste products and excess water in the body, but also secrete hematopoietic hormones, and if the kidney function is impaired, it is unable to produce erythropoietin, which causes anemia.
The kidney is the foundation of human life, and patients should be kind to their kidneys. Before going to bed at night, you can soak your feet with warm water, and you can also do some massage on your feet, which can achieve the purpose of nourishing the kidneys and fixing sperm.
Actively drink water, urinate more, excrete waste products in the body, reduce the burden on the kidneys, prevent kidney stones. Usually pay attention to the combination of work and leisure, avoid staying up late, and pay attention to regular life.
