There are more than 100 million patients with chronic kidney disease in China, why is the prevalence

At present, the incidence of chronic kidney disease in China is extremely high, according to data, there are more than 100 million patients suffering from chronic kidney disease in China. There are many causes of kidney disease, and the harm of kidney disease is also very great, once you suffer from chronic kidney disease, the severe case is almost irreversible, so you must know how to take care of your kidney in life.

Why is the prevalence of chronic kidney disease so high?

1. Mental stress and overwork will directly affect the health of the kidneys and increase the risk of chronic kidney disease. If you are often affected by the mental pressure of work, you must learn to adjust well, relax your mood appropriately, and avoid excessive mental pressure. It is necessary to avoid overwork, because all organs of our body need to rest, if overwork will only increase the burden on various organs of the body, especially once the kidney is damaged, its detoxification function is not so good, and slowly a vicious circle will be formed, and eventually lead to chronic kidney disease.

Second, long-term holding urine is also a kind of damage to the kidneys, holding urine is a very bad habit The moon will increase the burden on the kidneys and liver, long-term holding urine will lead to the onset of nephritis, so if you usually have a bad habit of holding urine for a long time, you must correct it in time.

3. Often exposed to some toxic substances, especially often living in the environment of toxic substances, the increasing number of chemicals in the body, the greater the harm to the human body, which will directly affect the health of the kidneys.

Fourth, drug abuse, overdose of health products, these behaviors are undesirable, drug abuse and. Excessive consumption of health products will affect the kidneys, increase the burden on the kidneys, lead to kidney dysfunction, and thus induce kidney disease.

5. Unreasonable diet also has a great impact on the kidneys, especially the bad habits of picky eating and overeating, which will lead to insufficient nutrition in the body. When the nutrition in the body is insufficient, the normal metabolism of the body is insufficient, and the body is in a state of weakness and fatigue for a long time, which will eventually cause nephritis.

There are many causes of chronic kidney disease, and if you want your kidney to be healthy, then you should take good care of your kidney. We must maintain good eating habits and living habits in life, especially do not abuse drugs, develop a good living habits, so that our kidneys can be better maintained, and at the same time, we must do any disease should be detected early, early, learn more about some early symptoms of chronic kidney disease, once abnormal symptoms are found, you should immediately go to the hospital for examination in time, in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

First of all, the number of diabetic patients in China has increased year after year, and the probability of diabetic patients progressing to nephropathy is greater. China is also a developing country, and the health situation is not good enough, so infection and disease are also a problem; Coupled with the improvement of people's living standards, there are more and more kidney diseases associated with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and obesity.

Because some people like to smoke and drink, and often stay up late, do not pay attention to their body, and like to eat spicy food, it can lead to kidney disease.

There are many reasons for getting sick, such as irregular living habits, staying up late, smoking and drinking. Autoimmune diseases, urinary tract infections or systemic infections, hepatitis viruses, infections, etc.

This is because many people's living habits are irregular, and the diet is not particularly healthy, often eat some fatty meat or greasy food, and the diet is also very irregular, the pressure is very high, often stay up late, and the resistance is also declining, so the prevalence is very high.

Because our people do not pay much attention to physical health, and the work pressure is particularly high. There are some physical problems that are often overlooked.

Because there are many people who have irregular lifestyle habits, often eat junk food and do not exercise, they will get such diseases.

In fact, kidney disease is very harmful, generally more common in men, and some people with kidney damage are more likely to get kidney disease, and families with a genetic history are also more likely to get this kind of disease, so it still needs to be paid attention to, some physical factors may lead to the occurrence and aggravation of kidney disease, all of which need our attention.

Epidemiological surveys have shown that chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become one of the major diseases that threaten public health worldwide for more than 30 years. According to the statistics of recent years, in developed countries (such as the United States and the Netherlands), the general population suffers from different degrees of kidney disease, among which the number of kidney diseases in the United States has exceeded 20 million, and the number of patients with kidney disease admitted to hospitals every year is as high as more than 1 million, and the number of people who have kidney disease and do not go to the doctor is much larger than the number of patients who are admitted. There are no detailed epidemiological data on chronic kidney disease in China, and preliminary results show that the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in people over 40 years old is about 8% to 9%, which is alarming.

Why is the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) high and the number of patients increasing year by year? The main reason is that with the improvement of material life and working conditions, people's lifestyles have undergone some unreasonable changes, such as eating too much of certain nutrients (carbohydrates, fats, salt, etc.) and doing too little physical activity; At the same time, due to increased work pressure, mental stress, lack of sleep, smoking, alcoholism, various environmental pollution and other factors, the prevalence of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, high uric acid, obesity, and chronic kidney disease secondary to the above metabolic diseases is increasing. Second, the incidence of infections (hepatitis, tuberculosis, AIDS, schistosomiasis, etc.) and immune-mediated primary or secondary kidney disease remains high, especially in developing countries.

In addition to the above reasons, drug-induced kidney damage caused by drug abuse or non-standard medication is also another non-negligible cause of the increasing number of kidney diseases, such as analgesics, aristolochia, etc. Of course, with the development of society, the extension of human life expectancy, the aging of the population is becoming more and more obvious, and the functions of various organs of the elderly (> 65 years old) gradually show a degenerative trend with age, which makes the prevalence of kidney disease in the elderly, especially in the elderly (> 80 years old) population increase significantly. So, what are the risk factors?

The onset of chronic kidney disease is caused by a combination of factors, and its pathogenesis is also very complex, but people with the following risk factors have a significantly higher incidence of disease and should be highly vigilant. First of all, people with diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and people with a family history of kidney disease are more likely to get chronic kidney disease; Secondly, metabolic diseases (obesity, hyperlipidemia, high uric acid), long-term use of nephrotoxic drugs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, etc.), chronic urinary tract infection, urinary tract obstruction, hypercoagulable state, autoimmune diseases (lupus erythematosus, etc.), high-protein diet, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, low birth weight, age over 65 years old and other susceptible to chronic kidney disease.

The main functions of the kidneys are to excrete metabolites and maintain water and electrolyte balance. However, more and more people are suffering from kidney disease, and the trend is showing a younger age. First of all, environmental pollution is one of the important reasons for the increase in the incidence of kidney disease.

With the continuous development of industry and urbanization, the environmental pollution problems of air, water and soil are becoming more and more serious, which contain a large number of toxic and harmful substances. Long-term exposure of people to these harmful substances can easily cause kidney damage and lead to the occurrence of kidney disease.

Secondly, poor lifestyle habits are also an important factor in kidney damage. We now have a very fast pace of life, and many people are facing high-intensity, high-pressure work and life, resulting in unhealthy lifestyles such as irregular diet, staying up late for long hours, and lack of exercise. These bad lifestyle habits will increase the burden on the kidneys, so that the function of the kidneys will gradually decline, thus causing the occurrence of kidney disease.

In addition, irrational medication can also lead to kidney damage and the occurrence of kidney disease. Many people often abuse antipyretics, antibiotics and other drugs when suffering from colds, fevers and other diseases, and these drugs can cause great damage to the kidneys. If these drugs are used for a long time, they can lead to gradual damage to the kidneys and even serious consequences such as kidney failure.

Therefore, we should pay attention to protect our kidney health, eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and avoid bad lifestyle habits. At the same time, when using drugs, it is necessary to use them according to the doctor's instructions and do not abuse them to avoid damage to the kidneys. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is the only way to effectively prevent and ** kidney disease.

The increase in the number of patients with kidney disease is mainly due to the increase in the number of patients with diabetes. Because diabetic patients do not take regular blood sugar control**, long-term elevation of blood sugar levels will put a burden on the kidneys, which will eventually lead to the occurrence of diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, at present, the country attaches great importance to diabetic patients, and it is necessary to establish health records, and guide doctors to regularly test blood sugar and guide the reasonable use of drugs, so as to control blood sugar and prevent complications.
