How does kidney failure affect our body?

After a person's kidney failure, it can have a great impact on the body and can also produce uncomfortable symptoms. People who smoke for a long time are most at risk of kidney failure, which is a vital organ in the body. If the kidneys are not able to play a role in metabolism, it will be found that some water in the body cannot be discharged in time, and the body will be swollen.

The elderly and young people should not joke about the body, and do not challenge some organs of their body, otherwise the impact will be very large, and it is easy to have uremia. <>

When a person is thirsty for a long time and wants to drink water, it may be a sign of dehydration and kidney failure. When you feel cramps all over your body while sleeping, this is also a type of kidney failure, don't take it to heart, and always pay attention to your body. Young people can be shocked when they are diagnosed with kidney failure, but if they don't protect themselves, it will be very painful.

Some people will feel that they go to the toilet frequently, which is also a kidney problem, and they should go to the hospital for a timely physical examination. <>

There are many reasons for kidney failure, such as liking to eat heavy food. Don't eat too much pickled food, so that the body is in a state of dehydration for a long time, and the kidneys will have a great burden. People who eat too much salt and smoke for a long time are prone to kidney failure, and there are many harmful substances in smoke.

Children don't care when they talk to their parents about these conditions, but if they smoke for a long time, kidney failure will become more and more serious. Some elderly people will have cardiovascular disease, which is one of the causes of kidney failure. If you want to be good for kidney failure, you have to listen to the doctor's instructions, and you have to cooperate with the doctor to carry out it.

There are many factors that can lead to kidney failure, but no matter what the cause is, you have to keep your kidneys healthy. Without a good body, no matter what you do, it will have an impact, so for the sake of your body, you must also change your usual bad behavior. <>

There may be symptoms such as edema and anemia, the kidneys cannot work normally, and the waste products in the body cannot be metabolized normally, which will affect the normal operation of other organs in the body, endanger the nervous system, and be prone to uremia, resulting in life-threatening.

It can cause failure of various organs of the body, cause difficulty breathing, lead to coughing, cause pleurisy, develop pneumonia, develop arrhythmias, pericardial effusion, heart failure.

There will be problems with the digestive system, followed by fire, and there will also be some loss of appetite. The kidneys can also fail, and surgery may cause edema. Yes, chemotherapy is required.

Causes of kidney failure include: various infections, holding urine, heart failure, kidney stones, overuse of diuretics and antihypertensive drugs, severe dehydration, or blood loss. In addition, certain cancers can also cause kidney failure, such as bladder cancer, cervical cancer, prostate cancer, etc.

There are also chronic diseases that can cause complications of kidney failure, such as diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and Henoch-Schonlein purpura.

1. What are the symptoms of kidney failure?

Proteinuria and hematuria may occur in the early stage of kidney failure, and the color of the urine can be observed every time you go to the toilet, if it is obviously red, it means that there are red blood cells in the urine, and if there is foam on the surface that does not dissipate for a long time, it means that albumin appears, and you should go to the hospital to check the urine. If you have a bad kidney, your eyelids will be significantly swollen every morning, and your ankles will also feel edema, and there will be obvious pits when you press with your hands. In addition, urine output can also change, especially at night.

2. Who is susceptible to kidney failure?

Young people who often stay up late and do not pay attention to their bodies are prone to kidney failure, many people work all night for money, and sleep irregularly for a long time, which brings great pressure to the kidneys, and the toxins will not be discharged for a long time, and once diagnosed with kidney failure, they can only rely on dialysis or kidney replacement to continue their lives. Patients with diabetes mellitus and systemic lupus erythematosus are prone to kidney failure, and systemic lupus erythematosus can easily cause glomerulitis.

3. How to prevent kidney failure?

First of all, we should maintain a regular schedule and rest, go to bed before 11 o'clock every day, let the kidneys enter a resting state, do not overwork at ordinary times, replenish water and urinate in time to avoid kidney infection. If you have diabetes or chronic kidney disease, you should actively cooperate** and check your creatinine for urine protein regularly, which can reduce the risk of kidney failure. The diet is mainly light, and you must control your weight.

Be cautious about taking over-the-counter pain relievers to avoid heavy bleeding and don't donate blood if you have renal insufficiency.

Staying up late, kidney disease, often eating high-oil and high-calorie food, not liking exercise, often smoking and drinking, and very poor living habits will lead to kidney failure.

1.Hypertension.

The higher the incidence of hypertension in the later stages of chronic kidney disease. After entering kidney failure, more than half of the friends with kidney disease are accompanied by high blood pressure. The kidneys are sensitive to blood pressure, and if the blood pressure is not controlled, the blood creatinine will rush up at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

The first choice of antihypertensive drugs for renal hypertension is prisartan, which has both antihypertensive and renal protective effects, and can be combined with diuretics and horizon antihypertensive drugs to lower blood pressure.

2.Anaemia. When kidney disease enters stage 3, the kidneys secrete less erythropoietin, hemoglobin decreases, and renal anemia occurs.

There are many aspects of renal anemia, and the most important measures are to increase the level of erythropoietin in the body, such as subcutaneous injection of erythropoietin or oral roxadustat; Supplement your diet with iron-rich foods, such as red meat, or take iron supplements for iron.

3.Proteinuria.

Control of the underlying disease and proteinuria remains of great value in preserving renal function until severe renal failure (glomerular filtration rate 30 mL min) is entered.

During renal failure, prisartan drugs and traditional Chinese medicine can still be used to lower blood pressure, lower protein, and improve the renal environment, and pay attention to monitoring electrolytes to prevent drug-induced hyperkalemia.

If there is active progression of kidney disease, immunosuppressive agents are still necessary to control progression.

4.Acidosis.

After the decline of renal function, the renal tubular reabsorption function decreases, bicarbonate is lost, carbon dioxide in the blood decreases, and acidosis occurs. Acidosis can lead to a further decline in kidney function, creating a vicious cycle.

Patients with acidosis require oral alkalis, which are sodium citrate and sodium bicarbonate.

5.Infect. Impaired renal function is more likely to occur with acute progression and even acute renal failure.

Infections are the most common in acute kidney failure, including colds, gastroenteritis, urinary tract infections, infections, etc., which can increase the serum creatinine of patients with kidney disease by more than 50% in a week.

Once an infection develops, antimicrobials** are given as soon as possible, and the lost kidney function can be partially or fully restored.

1. Uncontrolled diet: Uncontrolled diet, including overeating, long-term hunger, picky eating, excessive drinking, etc., will damage the spleen and stomach, causing it to consume water valleys, metamorphosis subtlety, and affect the function of nourishing qi and blood. If the spleen and stomach are damaged for a long time, it will lead to insufficient qi and blood, dampness and congestion, and righteous qi cannot rise and fall, and vomiting and urine blockage will not be passed.

2. Excessive fatigue: long-term heavy physical labor, excessive fatigue will damage the spleen and kidneys; Excessive wine, early marriage and childbearing, damage to kidney qi, lack of kidney yang, fire decay of life, fire does not warm the earth, spleen and kidney deficiency. If the spleen is deficient, it will vomit and not eat, it will not be able to turn qi into water, and the dampness will be diffuse, affecting other organs, and finally the five organs will be defeated.

Severe infection, drug or poison poisoning, etc.

Diet (e.g., salt is too strong).

Drink less water.

Renal failure can be divided into acute and chronic, and the condition of acute renal failure progresses rapidly, usually due to insufficient blood flow to the kidneys, and the kidney is blocked by some factor and causes impaired function or is injured by poisons, resulting in acute renal failure. For patients with chronic renal failure, they must pay attention to maintenance, do not catch a cold and get angry, and eat a light diet. It is recommended to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine**, and it is better to focus on traditional Chinese medicine**.

Increase the blood flow of the kidneys, improve the glomerular filtration rate, mobilize the five internal organs to participate in detoxification, protect the residual kidney function, repair the diseased nephron, and protect the residual kidney function.
