Wang Qiang, a white-collar worker who works in the city, recently found that his feet had some abnormalities: the skin on his neck was yellow, the instep was swollen, and his toenails had become a little yellow and brittle. Until one day, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness on the way to work and almost fell to the ground, and his colleagues quickly helped him to a chair next to him to rest.
Wang Qiang decided to go to the hospital to check his physical condition. In the hospital, the doctor carefully inquired about his recent physical symptoms and arranged a series of tests for him, and when all the test results came out, the doctor told Wang Qiang with a solemn expression that he had problems with his kidney function and had reached the early stage of kidney failure.
Wang Qiang was shocked, he couldn't believe that he had this disease at a young age, and the doctor explained that kidney failure is a disease in which kidney function gradually declines, and the early symptoms are not obvious and are often easy to ignore, and those abnormal changes in Wang Qiang's feet are one of the typical signs of kidney failure.
"Doctor, I usually have a lot of work pressure, I often stay up late and work overtime, and my diet is not regular, can these cause kidney failure?" Wang Qiang asked.
The doctor nodded and said: "Long-term work pressure, lack of sleep will cause a burden on the body, coupled with unhealthy eating habits, will increase the burden on the kidneys, in addition, some chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure if not well controlled, will also damage kidney function, leading to the occurrence of kidney failure." "
"So what should I do now? Wang Qiang asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, although there is no cure for kidney failure, through standardized treatment, it is possible to delay the progression of the disease and improve the quality of life. The doctor comforted, "First of all, we must adjust our work and rest to ensure sufficient rest time; Secondly, it is necessary to establish healthy eating habits and eat less high-salt and high-fat foods; In addition, regular follow-up tests are needed to monitor changes in kidney function, and if necessary, we use medications to protect residual kidney function. "
"What if my kidney function continues to deteriorate?" Wang Qiang is still a little worried.
"If the disease progresses to an advanced stage, we can still maintain life through methods such as hemodialysis or kidney transplantation, but that is the worst plan, as long as you pay more attention and take care of your body, you can live with the disease for a long time and live a normal life. The doctor said earnestly.
Wang Qiang listened to the doctor's words, his heart was much more relaxed, and he made up his mind to cooperate with the treatment and get rid of those bad habits in the past. At the same time, he also realized that many diseases are not solved overnight, but are the result of long-term accumulation, and some seemingly insignificant minor problems, if ignored, may cause major disasters over time.
Health is a person's most valuable asset, only with a healthy body, in order to better devote to work and life, everyone should improve health awareness, strengthen self-care, regular physical examination, take measures in the early stage of the disease, to avoid missing the best time for treatment. At the same time, medical institutions and medical personnel should also intensify health education, raise the public's awareness of disease prevention, and jointly weave a dense protective net for life and health.
In short, Wang Qiang's experience is a wake-up call for us, and any abnormal changes in the body should not be taken lightly, especially the symptoms related to the kidneys. Everyone should enhance their healthy self-management awareness, stay up less late, eat less high-salt and high-oil food, learn to combine work and rest, and improve the quality of life.
