The kidneys are one of the important organs of the human body, and together with the heart, liver, spleen and lungs, they are called the five internal organs.
The main role of the kidneys is to regulate the body's water balance and excrete the body's waste products, in addition to which it can secrete important body hormones.
It can be seen that the significance of the kidney to the human body is very important, so the kidney is also taken as the key protection object in the health care.
Many bad living habits and eating habits in life will induce a sub-healthy state of the body, of course, many chronic diseases will come to the door, nephritis is no exception.
Kidney disease is a common disease that seriously endangers human health, mainly including different types of nephritis, acute kidney failure, kidney stones, kidney cysts and so on.
What is nephritis:
Nephritis is glomerulonephritis, a disease in which hematuria, proteinuria, edema, hypertension, or not accompanied by impaired renal function are associated with it. It can be divided into acute, chronic, rapidly progressive, and occult nephritis.
Nephritis is actually what we call glomerulonephritis, glomerulonephritis is a disease in which hematuria, proteinuria, edema, hypertension, accompanied or not accompanied by renal impairment.
From its course, we can be divided into acute, chronic, rapidly progressive and occult nephritis, then occult nephritis we can also call "asymptomatic hematuria" and "proteinuria".
How does chronic nephritis develop into uremia?
Uremia is usually a disease based on chronic kidney disease, the course of the disease is relatively prolonged, can not be effectively alleviated, the gradual deterioration of kidney function, resulting in a significant increase in creatinine level.
The detoxification and drainage capacity of the kidneys is significantly reduced, the glomerular filtration rate < 15 ml/min, and it is usually accompanied by renal atrophy and electrolyte abnormalities, acidosis, edema, hypertension and other manifestations.
In general: chronic nephritis can develop into uremia and is the most common cause of uremia in mainland China.
In the early stages of the disease, and patients can show abnormal urinary tests, hematuria proteinuria, but kidney function is still normal, in this period, by having some drugs that protect the kidneys and reduce urine protein, can effectively prevent the deterioration of kidney disease.
Nephritis may cause the appearance of 2 odorous symptoms:
Urine odor:
If a significant irritating odor is found in the urine, vigilance is likely due to an increase in the urea content in the urine, which is one of the typical symptoms of uremia.
When the excretory function and reabsorption function of the kidneys are greatly damaged, the blood urea nitrogen level in the body will rise, resulting in an increase in the concentration of urea nitrogen in the urine, and the urine excreted at this time will have a strong irritating ammonia smell.
halitosis:
Patients with impaired kidney function cannot be excreted through urine with toxic substances or other waste products in their bodies, and can only accumulate in the body's blood and other body fluids or secretions such as saliva.
The urea that accumulates in the patient's saliva will form ammonia after being decomposed by bacteria in the human body, causing a smell of urine in the human mouth or exhaled gas.
Do these 4 things less, and the kidneys may appreciate you
Do not drink water
The waste products generated by the metabolism in our body are mainly processed through the kidneys and liver, and the function of the kidneys is mainly to regulate the balance of water and electrolytes in the human body, and to excrete the waste products produced through the way of urine.
As long as you drink enough water to be able to drain, there are many young people who are very busy at work and do not have time to drink water, which hurts the kidneys.
Often hold back urine
Most people experience holding urine, some of whom often hold it for long periods of time, but they don't know that each time they urinate traps the urine in the bladder, causing the bladder to continue to swell and causing the bladder to less stretchable.
For a long time, human urine can not be naturally excreted, which will increase the burden on the kidneys and breed bacteria, which will cause bacteria to retrograde through the ureter to the kidneys, causing urinary tract infections and nephritis.
Stay up late often
Most people think that staying up late hurts the liver, in fact, staying up late will also hurt the kidneys, and staying up late for a long time will make the human immune system disordered and the immunity be reduced, thus triggering kidney disease.
Misuse of drugs
First of all, long-term use of painkillers, because patients have pain symptoms, such as low back pain, long-term use of painkillers, painkillers are mostly non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, this drug will cause kidney ischemia, will cause kidney damage.
Therefore, for patients with pain, they should first go to a regular hospital for treatment, clarify the cause of pain, formal treatment, and avoid long-term use of pain medications.
