"Look at the news, Xiao Chen also stayed up late every day to play games, but as a result, his body collapsed, and I heard that he is now suffering from uremia. "
Xiao Liu and his roommates sat around the dormitory, discussing a real event on campus. Xiao Chen, an ordinary 23-year-old college student, once indulged in online games, reversed day and night, and eventually paid a heavy price for his health.
This story is a wake-up call for people to re-examine their habits and think about how uremia quietly came to their doors.
1. Uremia is induced by bad lifestyle habits
The dangers of late-night gaming binge
Xiao Chen's experience reveals the dangers of staying up late to play games. Staying up late for a long time will not only lead to the disorder of the biological clock and affect the normal detoxification of the kidneys, but also increase the burden on the kidneys due to the continuous intake of high-calorie, high-salt fast food and beverages, and over time, the kidney function will gradually be impaired.
The hidden dangers buried in heavy diets
Perennial preference for salted fish, sausages, bacon and other high-salt foods can easily lead to excessive sodium ions in the body, increase the burden on the kidneys, and then affect kidney function. At the same time, frequent consumption of beverages, especially carbonated beverages with high sugar content, can reduce the metabolic function of the kidneys, further damaging kidney health.
Effects of smoking, alcohol consumption and physical inactivity
Bad habits such as smoking and drinking, as well as lack of exercise habits, not only directly affect kidney function, but also lead to systemic underlying metabolic disorders, and indirectly increase the risk of uremia.
2. Pay attention to the body's "distress signals" and detect uremia as soon as possible
Early signs of uremia: alarms that can be easily overlooked
Usually, we will inevitably encounter some minor illnesses and pains, such as occasional nausea and vomiting, breathlessness, or chest tightness, most people will regard these symptoms as caused by overfatigue or anemia, and simply deal with them.
But did you know that these seemingly ordinary symptoms are most likely the kidneys signaling you to SOS. In the early stages of uremia, these discomforts occur when kidney function begins to decline and waste products in the body cannot be excreted properly.
If the blood creatinine level soars to more than 700 micromoles per liter during the physical examination, it is necessary to be highly vigilant, which may be a sign that uremia is imminent.
The Significance of Physical Examinations: Capturing Health "Loopholes"
In real life, many people pay far less attention to their health status, always thinking that they are young and strong, and they will pass with minor illnesses and pains.
As everyone knows, regular physical examination is an effective means to deal with the "invisible killer" uremia. Uremia is not only targeted at people with pre-existing chronic kidney disease, but also long-term bad lifestyle habits, such as staying up late, eating a high-salt diet, smoking, drinking, and lack of exercise, may be the driving force behind uremia.
If you don't get a physical examination in time to gain insight into the subtle changes in your body, it's easy to miss the best opportunity for early detection and treatment of uremia.
Xiao Chen, who learned that he was suffering from uremia, experienced painful struggles and reflections, and he began to learn from the pain and was determined to change all kinds of bad habits in the past.
He strictly limits his time online, no longer stays up late to play games, and resolutely abandons high-salt and high-sugar foods in his diet and turns to a light, balanced diet.
At the same time, he began to exercise regularly and completely quit smoking and drinking. Although the shadow of uremia loomed over him, he worked hard to adjust his lifestyle and actively cooperate with the treatment, hoping that one day he would be able to regain his life through a kidney transplant.
"The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill", this sentence is very appropriate in Xiao Chen's story. Uremia is not an unattainable nightmare, but the result of the accumulation of bad lifestyle habits. Everyone should remember: health is no trivial matter, cherish life, start from developing good living habits, refuse to stay up late, quit smoking and limit alcohol, eat a reasonable diet, exercise moderately, and always pay attention to physical changes, in order to prevent it from happening and not let uremia take advantage of it. There is no return ticket for life, and each of us should be kind to ourselves and live a healthy life.
