Zhang, a 45-year-old construction worker, works the construction site every day and likes to drink a little wine in the evening.
Recently, he has been suffering from back pain, fatigue and fatigue, and at first he thought it was because he was getting older, but gradually his urine became less and thicker, and his legs began to swell.
He couldn't hold it anymore, so he had to go to the nephrology department of the hospital.
"Both kidneys atrophy, creatinine and urea nitrogen increase significantly, which is a typical manifestation of uremia. "
Dr. Li frowned and said, "Do you usually have any bad habits, smoking, drinking, staying up late, etc.?"
"On my construction site, I can't run away from smoking, drinking, and staying up late to work overtime, but I was in good health when I was young, so I never cared. Lao Zhang said a little embarrassed.
"Here's the problem! Your own problems have nothing to do with these bad habits. "
"Smoking can increase the burden on the kidneys, alcohol can directly damage the glomeruli, and staying up late can disrupt the kidneys' repair rhythm.
Coupled with the fact that you have been working heavily for a long time and your kidneys are under high load for a long time, can you not have problems?"
"This ...... I can't help it, I can't stop working, right?" Lao Zhang sighed, looking very helpless.
"It's okay to work, but you have to combine work and rest. Dr. Li patiently explains, "Moderate exercise is good for your health, but overwork can deplete your kidneys.
At the same time, it is also necessary to drink more water and eat less high-salt, high-fat, and high-protein foods to reduce the burden on the kidneys. If you can quit smoking, limit alcohol, and sleep regularly, your kidneys will thank you!"
"Okay, I'll try to change it. But now that I'm suffering from uremia, can I still be saved?" Lao Zhang's face was full of sadness, and his voice was full of despair.
"Although uremia is irreversible, it is still possible to maintain a high quality of life through regular dialysis and drug treatment.
Dr. Li comforted, "The key is that you have a correct mentality, actively cooperate, and believe that miracles will happen! In the future, remember to smoke, drink, and stay up late."
In the fast-paced modern society, many people neglect their health in order to make a living, especially those hard-working "workers" who overdraft the "balance" of their kidneys in overload.
As everyone knows, the kidneys are the "blood purifiers" of the human body, and once they fail, they will be urinated at least and killed at worst, which is not child's play!
In fact, uremia has become the second largest chronic disease "killer" after diabetes.
Smoking, alcoholism, staying up late, obesity, sedentary, dehydration and other unhealthy lifestyles will accelerate the hardening and atrophy of the glomeruli, resulting in accelerated decline of kidney function.
What's even more terrifying is that the incidence of uremia is rising at a rate of 8%~10% per year, far exceeding the growth rate of kidney sources.
In the face of the menacing uremia, we must be vigilant, screen and intervene as soon as possible.
But what is more important is to establish a "kidney defense awareness" and cultivate healthy and civilized living habits.
Quit smoking and limit alcohol, have a regular schedule and rest, stay up less late, control weight, exercise more, and drink more water, which seems to be a simple eight-character motto, but it is the "golden rule" to protect the kidneys.
Only by starting from the little by little, starting from the details, can we hold up a "protective umbrella" for the kidneys.
Of course, for patients who are unfortunate enough to suffer from uremia, we should give humanistic care and social support. Life is precious, but illness is even more valuable. No one should be abandoned and hopeless in the face of the torment of a stubborn disease.
As long as you adhere to regular dialysis and actively cooperate with the treatment, no difficulty is insurmountable. Even if the road ahead is confused, please believe that the haze will eventually dissipate, and when the clouds are cleared, we will be able to embrace the dawn of life again!
Write at the end
Let's walk hand in hand, treat health responsibly, even if we need to get rid of some "bad problems", we must grit our teeth and persevere.
There may be pain and struggle in the process, but as long as we work together and help each other, we will be able to create miracles and shine. Let's start now and protect our "source of life" with love and action!
