Why is uremia? Because you neglected the physical reminders, many patients found kidney disease, kidney disease has developed to the stage of renal failure or even uremia, so exclaimed: Kidney disease is like cancer, is it found that it is advanced?
In fact, the body has already reminded you in various ways before the kidney disease develops into uremia stage.
The kidney is one of the body's most important organs. It is responsible for purifying the blood, maintaining water and electrolyte balance, secreting hormones, and erythropoietin.
Once the kidneys have problems, the body will remind you in some way:
1, urine
If a problem arises in the function of purifying the blood of the kidneys, proteins, red blood cells and other substances will leak into the urine to form urine protein and occult blood. These substances will cause the urine surface tension to increase, there will be a lot of foam, so if you find that there are a lot of tiny, long-lasting foam in your urine, you have to look it up.
If the kidneys maintain the effect of water balance, problems can lead to abnormal urine output. If the glomerular injury is more serious, it will affect the drainage ability of the kidneys, especially if the protein leaks too much, it will affect the colloid osmotic pressure balance, resulting in edema, so that the urine output decreases; but if the renal tubular damage is more serious, it will affect the kidney The ability to concentrate significantly increases the amount of urine, especially the amount of nocturia.
Therefore, whether there is a large amount of persistent urine foam or abnormal urine output, it should be checked as soon as possible.
2, swollen
Another common sign of the body after a kidney problem is edema in a part of the body. It should be noted that the edema caused by the kidneys should be a symmetrical concave edema.
A large amount of leaked protein, as mentioned above, can cause an imbalance in the osmotic pressure of the colloid and cause the water in the blood vessel to be forced out of the blood vessel, resulting in the appearance of edema;
Another situation is the electrolyte imbalance, especially the imbalance of sodium ion metabolism, which will lead to the imbalance of crystal osmotic pressure, which will break the liquid balance inside and outside the cell, and it will also lead to edema.
Therefore, if you find that your body (mainly eyelids, legs, feet) suddenly appears edematous and you press your finger to create a small pit, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible.
The dizziness and nausea caused by kidney disease generally have two causes:
One is dizziness and nausea caused by renal hypertension. This is because the microcirculation of the kidneys is getting worse and worse, causing secondary hypertension. As the blood pressure rises, it will feel dizzy and nausea.
Second, dizziness and nausea caused by increased blood toxin concentration, this is due to the kidneys metabolic function is getting worse, creatinine, urea nitrogen and other harmful substances can not be normal excreted, resulting in increased blood concentrations, causing a feeling of dizziness and nausea.
Therefore, if you are baffled with dizziness and nausea, you must go to the hospital as soon as possible. Regardless of the cause, the situation has become more critical.
4, bulge
Kidney lesions such as polycystic kidneys, renal cysts, and kidney stones can cause people to feel pain at the waist, which is often mistaken for lumbar muscle strain.
It should be noted that the kidneys do not have sensory nerves and do not feel pain themselves, so "kidney pain" is only your psychological effect. However, when the volume of the kidneys is abnormally increased, the surrounding tissues are stressed and people feel "expanding".
Some people say that kidney stones are not very painful? Yes, kidney stones produce great pain, but that is because stones fall into the ureter or bladder.
There is no other way but to go to the hospital on a regular basis.
The early stage of the vast majority of primary nephropathy can last for several years. It is the best stage of treatment. However, there are no obvious symptoms at this stage and it is difficult to find it.
Only regular medical examinations, even once a year, can detect early kidney disease.
In fact, the vast majority of severe illnesses can be detected at an early stage, but most people do not have the habit of regular physical examination.
In contrast, most people develop the habit of regularly maintaining cars.
Maybe the car is more expensive...
