In China, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in adults has increased to about 10.8%!
What a concept, equivalent to an average of every 10 Chinese, one person is plagued by chronic kidney disease!
In China, the number of patients with chronic kidney disease has reached nearly 130 million, of which nearly 30 million patients will gradually move towards the stage of uremia due to severe impairment of kidney function.
Once the development of chronic kidney life, it means that patients can only rely on long-term dialysis, kidney transplantation and other ways to continue to live, and their quality of life and life value cannot be compared with healthy people.
After the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease, many patients have difficulty accepting the fact of the disease.
As everyone knows, any disease is a cause that can be traced, in the clinical view, the outbreak of chronic kidney disease is directly related to the bad behavior and habits in daily life.
For example, the following bad habits are quietly stealing away your kidney health:
1, do not like to drink water: the kidney is a metabolic organ, its basic function is to generate urine. Through the generation of urine, it can also play a role in excreting harmful substances and maintaining the balance of water and electrolytes.
If long-term drinking water is insufficient, the kidneys cannot filter the blood normally, and a large number of harmful substances are easy to accumulate in the kidneys, which not only increases the metabolic burden of the kidneys, but also may cause kidney stones, kidney parenchyma or interstitial damage.
Therefore, it is clinically recommended that the daily water intake of adults should be maintained at least 1500-2000ml;
2. Long-term urinary holding: Among all uremia patients in the mainland, nearly 1/2 have the bad habit of holding urine for a long time. Although urine is not stored in the kidneys after it is produced, it flows into the bladder.
In urine, 95% is water, and the rest is waste products metabolized by the body. They remain in the bladder for a long time and tend to produce a large number of bacteria.
If the urine is not released, once the urine containing bacteria is reversed into the kidneys, it will cause kidney infection and even induce chronic kidney disease;
3. Blind medication: the kidneys are the metabolic organs of the human body, and some drugs also need to be metabolized by the kidneys and excreted from the body.
If during the treatment process, the drug has an adverse reaction, or an overdose or irrational use of drugs, it may cause damage to the kidney tissue and induce a series of toxic reactions.
In mainland china, behind the emergence of some acute kidney failure, it is precisely related to irrational medication.
Relevant studies have shown that whether it is Chinese herbal medicine or Western medicine, it may contain nephrotoxic substances, such as non-Zi body anti-inflammatory drugs, aristolochia, triptolide, etc.;
4, unhealthy eating habits: although the kidney is not a digestive and absorption organ, but after all, it plays a role in metabolism, and the various nutrients required by kidney cells also come from the supply of food.
If you maintain an unhealthy and unscientific dietary pattern for a long time, such as a large intake of high-salt foods, long-term alcoholism, bringing high-purine foods, long-term dietary calories exceeding the standard, etc., will increase the burden of kidney metabolism and increase the chance of kidney disease in the later stage.
In addition to the four bad habits mentioned above, long-term sedentary, overweight, lack of sleep caused by long-term staying up late, etc., may affect the functioning of kidney tissue through a variety of mechanisms.
And want to protect the kidneys, in fact, there is no shortcut, we can only do through diet, lifestyle improvement, so that the kidneys a little health.
