Have you ever heard of "uremia"? Do you think it's just that there are toxins in the urine? wrong!
The so-called uremia, which is clinically known as chronic renal failure in the terminal stage, is not a disease that appears independently of the kidneys.
But the patient has appeared before the emergence of different types of kidney disease, but did not carry out good treatment, or the disease development is not timely, gradually appeared renal insufficiency, and renal insufficiency is irreversible, after entering the terminal stage of kidney failure, it is to the uremia phase, patients can only rely on long-term dialysis, kidney transplantation and other ways to prolong life!
Perhaps in everyone's view, words such as kidney failure and uremia are very far away from themselves, and they will not find you in this life.
But what you don't know is that the incidence of chronic kidney disease in the mainland has increased to 10.8%, and it is conservatively estimated that there are about 130 million people with chronic kidney disease.
Behind the high incidence of chronic kidney disease, it is precisely related to the patient's daily bad living habits.
For example, here are three bad habits that are quietly stealing your kidney health:
1, do not like to drink water: the kidneys are distributed on both sides of our waist, its basic function is to filter blood, the production of urine.
When the blood circulation enters the kidneys, the excess water in the blood and metabolic waste products will be intercepted and eventually turned into urine and excreted.
If you do not like to drink water for a long time, the amount of water you drink every day is too small, the metabolic waste cannot be discharged smoothly, but it will continue to accumulate in the kidneys, and the number of urinations will not only be reduced, but also the chance of kidney stones in the future will increase significantly.
Because of this, science suggests that the daily water intake of adults should be maintained at least 1500-2000ml;
2, drug abuse: there is a very complete detoxification and metabolic system in the human body, of which the two most important organs are the liver and kidneys.
Some drugs contain nephrotoxic substances, such as antipyretic and analgesic, some medicinal materials, etc.
If you blindly take various folk remedies without the doctor's prescription and medical advice, or adjust the dosage of the drug at will, this will not only fail to treat the disease, but may cause kidney damage due to drug toxicity, and even induce acute kidney failure;
3, the habit of holding urine: there are many people in daily life, will develop a bad habit of holding urine for various reasons.
Although urine is stored in the bladder after childbirth. But there is not only water in the urine, but also other metabolic wastes and impurities.
Urine in the bladder for a long time, will produce a large number of bacteria, which not only increases the chance of urinary tract infections. Once the urine is reversed into the kidneys along with the ureters, it may also cause kidney infection and kidney parenchymal damage.
A study once pointed out that nearly 1/3 of all patients with kidney failure in the mainland have a bad habit of holding urine.
In addition to the three bad habits mentioned above, there are many behaviors that may cause damage to the kidneys, such as prolonged sedentary staying, long-term alcoholism, high blood pressure or diabetes but not active treatment, bad habits of staying up late, etc., which will erode kidney health little by little and eventually become the fuse of chronic kidney disease.
Therefore, everyone should be aware of the importance of kidneys to health and stay away from bad habits in daily life.
In addition, for people at high risk of kidney failure, such as having a history of three high diseases, a long history of medication, and chronic kidney disease, in addition to treating the primary disease, they should also seek regular medical examinations to understand the health of the kidneys.
