On a quiet morning, 59-year-old Li Ming walked into the hospital he was familiar with.
He is a retired teacher, lives a regular life, does not smoke or drink, and never thought that he would leave this world due to kidney failure.
However, on this day, he felt unwell and decided to come for a detailed examination.
Li Ming walked into the outpatient department of the hospital and was greeted by a young doctor, Dr. Wang. Dr. Wang reviewed Li Ming's case records and listened carefully to his description of symptoms.
"Mr. Li, how are you feeling lately?" Dr. Wang asked. "I've been feeling a little tired lately, and the color of my urine is a little abnormal," Li Ming said with a frown.
Dr. Wang nodded and suggested that Li Ming do a comprehensive physical examination, including blood and urine tests, as well as an ultrasound.
After some checking, the results came out quickly. Dr. Wang read the examination report carefully, and his face gradually became solemn.
"Mr. Li, according to your test results, there is a serious problem with your kidney function, which may be kidney failure." Dr. Wang said in a heavy tone.
When Li Ming heard the news, he felt panicked and puzzled, "I usually live a very regular life, I don't smoke or drink, how can this be?" ”
Dr. Wong took a deep breath and explained, "Actually, there are many causes of kidney failure, and although you live a regular lifestyle and don't smoke or drink, there are other factors that can also cause it. ”
Next, Dr. Wang explained in detail the three major mistakes that can lead to Li Ming's kidney failure.
Li Ming has been consuming excessive amounts of high-salt foods for a long time. Although Li Ming did not feel that he had a problem with his diet, he did not realize the potential harm of a high-salt diet to his kidneys.
A high-salt diet will increase the burden on the kidneys, and over time, it will cause serious damage to kidney function.
"Mr. Li, your eating habits need to be adjusted, although you don't smoke or drink, excessive salt intake can also cause harm to your body." Dr. Wang said.
Second, Li Ming often uses over-the-counter medications to relieve minor ailments and pains. While these drugs may seem harmless, long-term use can cause chronic damage to the kidneys.
Many people unknowingly become dependent on these medications, ignoring their side effects.
"Many people ignore the side effects of medications, and even some common painkillers can be taxing on the kidneys if used for a long time." Dr Wong added.
Li Ming's high blood pressure is poorly controlled. Although he had regular check-ups, he was unable to keep his blood pressure levels under control.
High blood pressure is one of the important factors that lead to kidney damage, and if left uncontrolled, it can accelerate the deterioration of kidney function.
"High blood pressure is a silent killer that is not only harmful to the heart, but also to the kidneys. You need to pay more attention to blood pressure control. Dr. Wang said earnestly.
After listening to Dr. Wang's explanation, Li Ming fell into deep thought. He began to reflect on his lifestyle habits, and although he did not have some obvious bad habits, he ignored some potential health risks.
In the following course of treatment, Dr. Wang developed a series of treatment plans for Li Ming, including medication and dietary adjustments.
Li Ming also began to pay more attention to his diet and blood pressure control, taking his medication on time every day and having regular check-ups. Although Li Ming eventually died of kidney failure, his experience has given us profound inspiration.
Health is not only about superficial routines and not smoking or drinking, but also requires comprehensive health management and attention to detail.
Through Li Ming's story, we learned about the importance of health management.
We should pay attention to our eating habits, reduce salt intake and maintain a balanced diet.
Use medications sparingly and avoid long-term dependence on over-the-counter medications. Finally, it is necessary to strictly control chronic diseases such as blood pressure, and have regular physical examinations to detect potential problems in time.
Health is an integrated concept, and in addition to not smoking and drinking, we also need to pay attention to other life details, such as diet, drug use, and chronic disease management.
Only by paying attention to health holistically can we truly have a healthy body and avoid unnecessary diseases. Li Ming's story teaches us that ignoring health details can have serious consequences.
I hope that through his experience, everyone can pay more attention to health management, so as to have a healthy and long life.
A high-salt diet, long-term use of over-the-counter medications, and poorly controlled high blood pressure.
These factors eventually led to his kidney failure. We should learn from this and take full care of our health to avoid similar tragedies.
