Wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, and it is sad that wine hurts the kidneys
"Xiao Li, come and see the hot search!" Nurse Zhang Fang rushed into the doctor's office in a panic. I hurriedly turned on my phone, and what jumped into my eyes was a shocking news: "Happy events turned into funerals after May Day!"
A glass of wine caused kidney failure in 2 people and 1 death!" My heart tightened. How did a holiday party, which should be laughter, wine and food, cause such a tragedy?
As a nephrologist, I know all too well the dangers of alcohol to the kidneys. Just as he was hesitating to click on the news link, the phone in the emergency department rang:
"Xiao Li, I just received two patients with alcoholism complicated by acute kidney failure, come and consult!" I rushed to the emergency room, silently praying in my heart that there would be no third case.
Unfortunately, the cold reality in the dark gave me a heavy blow again. Just when I was busy, the alarm bell in the emergency room suddenly rang. 120 sent a middle-aged man who was drunk and unconscious, breathing and heartbeat, and his pupils dilated.
After 40 minutes of rescue, he was finally declared dead due to cerebral herniation due to alcoholism. Looking at his gradually cold body, my heart was full of deep sorrow and regret. Life, under the ravages of alcohol, has quietly fallen...
The next day, I went to the ward to see two patients with alcoholic kidney failure. Their faces were pale, their bodies were weak, and their eyes were full of regret: "Doctor, we had a meeting yesterday, and we were greedy for a moment, but we didn't expect to make such a big fuss."
Wine is a lot of harm!" Looking at their self-reproachful expressions, I sighed and said earnestly: "Wine is not a beast of the flood, but excessive drinking is extremely harmful to the body. You have underlying diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes, and overeating is tantamount to making matters worse!"
"But we just drink it once in a while, and we don't want to cause a big disaster. Can this kidney failure be recovered?" The patient's wife asked with teary eyes. I patiently explained: "Alcohol can directly poison the glomeruli and tubules, causing acute tubular necrosis.
If treated promptly, it is still possible to recover kidney function. But from now on, you must clean yourself, quit drinking, and take care of your kidneys, otherwise you may be on dialysis and kidney replacement at any time!"
After listening to my words, the patients sighed and nodded their heads again and again. I patted them on the shoulder with relief: "I chose the path myself, but I still have time to turn back." As long as you learn from the pain, stop the precipice in time, and know that you have lost your way, I believe you will be able to regain your health and start a new life!"
At this time, the nurse came to call me: "Dr. Li, the family of the ICU patient with alcoholic encephalopathy would like to talk to you." My heart tightened, and I hurried over.
This unconscious old gentleman was also caused by excessive drinking at the party. "Doctor, my dad is not in good health, and he is greedy for cups, what can I do now?" The patient's daughter cried so much that it rained.
I gently shook her hand: "Mourn! Alcohol poisoning is indeed dangerous, and can often cause critical complications such as acute pancreatitis, upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and respiratory depression, and has a high disability and mortality rate. Although Ling Zun is gone this time, I hope that what happened to him can become a lesson for future generations, and warn more people to stay away from alcohol and cherish life!"
With tears in my eyes, the patient's family bowed deeply to me. At that moment, I seemed to relive my original intention of practicing medicine. Life is precious, but health is even more valuable. As angels in white, how can we stand idly by and let the disease take away our lives?
No, we must use the light of knowledge to dispel the gloom of ignorance; Use the fire of benevolence to warm the heart of moving forward. Only persistent enlightenment and education can fundamentally prevent the occurrence of tragedy and let more people go further and better on the road of health!
