What is your type of kidney disease that you should focus on?
These three points make diabetic nephropathy become the most terrible type of nephropathy. According to the pathological type, nephropathy can be divided into dozens of subtle lesions that are easier to treat, and focal segmental sclerosis that makes people headaches.
Among the many pathological types, the most feared is the diabetic nephropathy, due to the following three aspects.
The hidden nature of diabetic nephropathy is very good, second only to occult nephritis. Considering the consequences of the two are not in proportion, the concealment of diabetic nephropathy is very terrible.
We know that diabetic nephropathy is broadly divided into five stages. The first three stages have only the symptoms of urinary protein. Even the second stage of urine protein turns to be intermittent on the third stage, and people think that the condition has improved!
Until the kidney function has been seriously damaged, that is, the serum creatinine began to rise, there will be more obvious symptoms such as elevated blood pressure, most patients with diabetic nephropathy is also diagnosed at this stage.
The problem is that the third phase of development has already missed the best time for treatment!
The destructiveness of diabetic nephropathy is mainly reflected in the effect on the blood circulation of the kidney.
We know that diabetes is prone to blood viscosity and high blood pressure, which is particularly fatal for kidneys that are themselves two capillaries.
Why can patients with other pathological types of nephropathy be dialyzed when serum creatinine exceeds 700 μmol/L, and patients with diabetic nephropathy need dialysis as long as serum creatinine reaches 500 μmol/L?
It is because the damage to the kidneys is so strong that the damage to kidney function is much faster than other pathological types.
For this reason, diabetic nephropathy is the most recent pathological type of uremia.
If it is said that concealment is strong and destructive is not enough to make people collapse, how difficult is it to treat?
The difficulty in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy lies in two aspects: one is to control three highs, and the other is to prevent the continuous death of renal cells.
There is no need to say more about controlling the three highs, mainly high blood sugar and high blood pressure. There are various medicines to choose from. The key is to prevent the continued death of kidney cells.
The reason for the continuous death of renal cells is the blood flow environment of the kidneys, which is the hypoxia-ischemia of kidney cells caused by vascular obstruction. Whether Chinese or Western medicine practitioners are trying to improve the microcirculation of the kidneys, they have been working hard, but there are currently no effective results. .
Therefore, the treatment of "sickness" is still the focus of treatment of diabetic nephropathy. In addition to drugs controlling blood sugar and blood pressure, the solution to renal failure is still dialysis.
Diabetic nephropathy is so terrible. What should we do?
First, regular medical examination
This is the second most important thing.
For those who suffer from diabetes, at least two physical examinations are required every year. Only urine can be checked. Once urine protein is present, it is necessary to seek medical advice promptly and kill diabetic nephropathy in the cradle.
Second, active sugar control
The importance is second only to the first one.
The damage caused by blood sugar instability is not just diabetic kidney disease, but also eye, foot, heart and so on. Therefore, active sugar control is very important, not only to maintain the patient's own physical and mental health, but also reduce the family's burden.
Article 3, with treatment
Once diagnosed with diabetic nephropathy, treatment is very important. Compared with other pathological types, diabetic nephropathy needs stricter compliance with doctor's orders, especially in terms of medication. No matter whether it is reduction or withdrawal, it cannot be determined without authorization.
Article 4, cheerful mood
This is the most important thing!
Cheerful and happy emotions are critical to the improvement of cardiovascular conditions. We can find out in our daily lives. Therefore, even if it is very difficult, you must think of ways to make yourself more relaxed and happy. This may allow you to save a lot of medical expenses, and you can let the treatment effect be better than you expected.
