There was once a woman who suddenly felt nausea and vomiting on the way to get a certificate with her boyfriend, and she wanted to go to the hospital after getting the certificate, but her boyfriend felt that it was more important to see a doctor. So, the two went to the hospital, and the woman was diagnosed with uremia, and the marriage certificate was not obtained later. It's not that her boyfriend is unwilling, it's that the woman resolutely refuses to get a license, because the doctor told her that she probably can't get pregnant.
This woman is not married, and she is certainly not very old. In fact, there is more than one such patient. As a result, more and more people are wondering: Why did you get uremia at such a young age? Is it true that there are no signs of uremia before it happens?
For these questions, let's take a look at the experience of a uremia patient, and we may be able to find the answers from them.
Patient Xiao Zhou, an authentic rural person, studied hard since high school in order to get out of the countryside, and later got what he wanted, was admitted to a good university, and went to a big city. However, after graduation, the problem came, Xiao Zhou was full of confidence to look for a job, but he ran into walls everywhere, and finally passed the interview, and after two months, he found that the salary of this store was not enough for food, drink and accommodation. There was no way, so he had to resign and find another one.
Until one day, an opportunity is presented in front of him, with good prospects and high wages, but only if you are self-taught. Xiao Zhou, who has zero foundation, has no way out, so he can only bite the bullet, and then in half a year, he turned on the "desperate mode", mental and physical strength go into battle, in order to learn quickly, it is common to work overtime until midnight. The hard work paid off, Xiao Zhou did succeed later, and it happened that his love also came at this time. So, Xiao Zhou naturally got married and had children, in order to be able to settle down here, he still worked overtime and stayed up late every day, and did not rest on weekends.
It was at this time that his body was seriously overdrawn, and uremia quietly attacked.
Finally one day, Xiao Zhou began to vomit repeatedly, and he couldn't eat, and he came to the hospital after many attacks, and was diagnosed with uremia as soon as he was examined, and needed to be hospitalized immediately for dialysis treatment. That is, from this day on, everything returned to zero, Xiao Zhou's desperately earned house and car were sold, and his job was lost. He returned to his hometown with his wife and began a lengthy dialysis treatment at the age of 32.
How did Xiao Zhou's uremia occur, and were there any signs before it happened? In fact, the answer is obvious.
1. How does uremia occur?
Many middle-aged and elderly people with uremia may be related to chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, but if you want to say that young people have uremia, if there is no family genetic history, then there is a high probability that they will do it themselves. Just like Xiao Zhou, working so hard every day, sooner or later the kidneys will be overdrawn. As for how uremia occurs, there are several reasons.
1. Disease factors: high blood pressure, diabetes, and high uric acid are also the main causes of uremia in the elderly. Especially diabetes, which is currently the first major cause of uremia in mainland China, and hypertension and kidney disease are also a pair of enemies, as for high uric acid, its harm to the kidneys is that it may lead to kidney stones, and then develop into kidney disease.
2. Life factors: including diet, daily life, mood, etc., which are the main factors that lead to uremia in young people. The more typical is staying up late for a long time, stress, poor mood, overwork, resulting in overdraft, as well as eating too much high-protein, high-salt, high-oil, high-sugar food in the diet, like to drink drinks, and drink too little water, can't control your mouth and can't open your legs, which will increase the load on the kidneys.
3. Drug factors: This is also one of the common factors that lead to uremia, now it is convenient to buy medicines, everyone is accustomed to buying drugs by themselves, but they don't know that the medicine is three parts of poison, and the kidneys, as the main organs of drug excretion, will be more or less poisoned, and the risk of unauthorized use of drugs is greater. In addition to medicines, there are also popular health products, supplements, weight loss products, Chinese herbal medicines, etc., especially some three-no products, which can cause irreversible damage to the kidneys if used in large quantities for a long time.
2. Is there really no sign of uremia before the onset of the disease?
When it comes to uremia, many people feel that this disease seems to be the same as cancer, and it is urgent when it is discovered, but under normal circumstances, it takes a long time to develop from the early stage of kidney disease to uremia, during which it will go through the period of renal insufficiency, kidney failure, and finally the terminal stage of kidney disease, that is, the uremia stage. Unfortunately, in the process of gradual deterioration of kidney disease, the body will slowly adapt, so it is difficult to be detected, and even if there are some uncomfortable symptoms, they are often ignored, and by the time the patient is aware of it, it is already very serious.
Remind all people at high risk of kidney disease that they must be vigilant if they have the following symptoms.
1. Foamy urine: Foamy urine is a typical symptom of early kidney disease, mainly caused by glomerular filtration, which leads to an increase in urine protein. However, foam in urine is also a very common phenomenon, especially for men, it is easy to be ignored, special attention should be paid to the continuous foamy urine, and the foam in the urine is difficult to dissipate every time, and it cannot be flushed clean, which should be paid attention to.
2. Elevated blood pressure: If your blood pressure is normal in the past, but your blood pressure suddenly rises, and the effect of taking antihypertensive drugs is not ideal, you should be alert to whether there is a problem with the kidneys, which may be kidney disease that leads to water and sodium retention, which increases blood volume, and then causes high blood pressure.
3. Body edema: edema is also a common manifestation of kidney disease, which is also caused by water and sodium retention, which may be found after waking up in the early stage and finding edema of the eyelids and face, and will develop into edema of the lower limbs or even generalized edema in the later stage. Don't worry about occasional edema, but be careful if it's persistent, ever-evolving edema.
4. Low back pain and fatigue: The decline in kidney function leads to the accumulation of metabolites in the body, which will affect the normal function of the muscles and nervous system, and may also lead to a decrease in erythropoietin secretion, causing anemia, followed by low back pain, fatigue and other general discomfort.
5. Loss of appetite: Many patients with kidney disease go to the hospital because of repeated vomiting and decreased appetite, which is actually a manifestation of uremia. At this time, too many toxins are accumulated in the body, which is equivalent to the whole body organs are soaked in toxins, and the gastrointestinal tract is the same, so patients will have discomfort such as inability to eat, nausea, vomiting, etc.
3. What tests should be done for kidney disease?
1. Urine test: basic examination, to diagnose early kidney disease, you must do a urine routine to observe whether there is proteinuria, hematuria, etc.
2. Blood test: It is mainly to check the creatinine, urea nitrogen, uric acid and other indicators in the blood, especially the blood creatinine value, which is the key indicator to judge the quality of kidney function.
3. Imaging examination: including B-ultrasound or CT of both kidneys, to understand the shape, size, structure and other conditions of the kidneys, and to observe whether there are kidney stones, so as to provide a basis for diagnosis.
4. Others: Renal tubular function test, ECT examination of both kidneys, renal biopsy, etc., can be done if necessary, so as to make a clear diagnosis.
