What is the relationship between heart disease and kidney disease?

Heart disease is related to kidney disease. Long-term heart disease will damage the kidneys, and kidney damage, the body can not metabolize toxins, the first thing affected is the heart. Let's introduce it to you.

The kidneys are vital organs of the human body, and once kidney insufficiency occurs, multiple systems throughout the body will be affected, and the heart will bear the brunt. There are many patients with kidney disease and heart disease encountered in clinical practice. According to statistics, the incidence of heart disease in patients with chronic kidney disease is 15 times higher than that of the general population; The incidence of heart disease in patients with kidney failure is 36 times higher than that of the general population.

When kidney disease progresses to the stage of kidney failure, about 58% of patients will die of coronary heart disease or heart failure caused by it. It can be seen that the normal cardiovascular function is closely related to the health status of the kidneys. There are several ways in which the kidneys affect the heart.

After the decline of kidney function, the metabolic function is affected, and the urinary toxin substances are retained in the body, which will poison the myocardial cells and affect the heart function; The kidneys secrete hormones such as erythropoietin and renin, and if the abnormal kidney function causes excessive renin secretion, it will cause renin-type hypertension. High blood pressure is known to be very damaging to the heart. If it causes a decrease in erythropoietin secretion, there will be fewer red blood cells in the blood, which will also increase the workload on the heart and damage the heart.

When there are fewer red blood cells in the blood, there is less oxygen and nutrients to carry. The blood that used to be pumped out of the heart once may now take two or three beats to be enough, and in the long run, the heart will of course be damaged. On the other hand, heart disease can also cause kidney disease.

If the heart function is insufficient, it will cause renal ischemia and induce ischemic nephropathy; The toxins accumulated after abnormal kidney function can also regurgitate heart function. Therefore, the kidneys and the heart influence and interact with each other. The above content is an introduction to the relationship between heart disease and kidney disease, I believe that after reading it, you have a certain understanding of the relationship between heart disease and kidney disease, I hope it can be helpful to you.

Heart disease should be timely identified specific type of heart disease, chest pain and discomfort can be seen in the symptoms of coronary heart disease angina, reasonable rest, vasodilation, thrombolytic anticoagulant drugs effective**. Kidney disease should pay attention to a low-fat, low-salt and light diet, take high-quality protein, and regularly review kidney function. Avoid colds and infectious factors to avoid increasing the burden on the kidneys.

The relationship between the heart and the kidney is mainly manifested in two aspects: one is the mutual control and mutual assistance of yin and yang, water and fire of the heart and kidney, and the other is the mutual use of essence and blood, and the mutual use of essence and spirit. The heart and kidneys are both water and fire, and yin and yang complement each other.

The heart is the yang viscera, which is located in the upper coke, the five elements belong to fire, the kidney is the yin viscera, which is located in the lower coke, and the five elements belong to water. As far as the theory of yin and yang water and fire rise and fall is concerned, the heart fire should be lowered on the top, and the heart fire must fall on the kidneys, warming the kidney yang and making the kidney water not cold; In the lower one, it should be raised, and the kidney water must be in the heart, nourish the heart yin, restrain the heart yang, and make the heart yang not overactive; Kidney Yin also depends on the support of Heart Yin, and Heart Yang also depends on Kidney Yang to dig stupid warmth.

This kind of relationship between the heart and kidney, water and fire, yin and yang complementary, and maintains the coordination and balance of the physiological functions of the heart and kidney, which is called "heart and kidney intersection" and "water belt scatter code fire and strength". The heart and kidneys are intertwined with each other, and the essence and spirit are used interchangeably. The heart and blood can nourish the kidney essence, and the kidney essence can metamorphose the heart and blood, and the heart and kidney essence and blood can be mutually generated and transformed into each other, laying a material foundation for the intersection of the heart and kidney; The heart hides God, dominates the life activities of the human body, and God can benefit the essence.

The kidneys store essence, refine the marrow and fill the brain, the brain is the house of the gods, and the essence can be full of energy.

The interuse of the heart and kidney essence reflects another layer of connotation of "heart and kidney intersection". If the kidney yin is insufficient, it cannot help the heart; Or the heart is overburned, robbing the kidney yin, often manifested as upset, insomnia, palpitations, dizziness and tinnitus, waist and knee weakness, men's dreams, women's dreams of the heart and kidney yin deficiency and fire of the "heart and kidney do not pay" syndrome. If the heart is weak, you can't warm the kidneys; Or kidney yang deficiency, unable to warm the water, can be manifested as edema, less urine, chills and cold limbs, pale complexion, palpitations, or even coughing and wheezing can not lie down, etc., which is called "water and qi overpowering the heart".

In addition, kidney essence deficiency, essence does not turn into essence, or heart blood is insufficient, blood does not turn into essence, can lead to cerebral and spinal deficiency, mental dystrophy, forgetfulness, insomnia, dreaminess, dizziness, tinnitus and other symptoms.

According to an article in the ninth issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, mild to moderate renal insufficiency appears to be an independent indicator of cardiac events in postmenopausal women with coronary heart disease.

Dr. and colleagues at the San Francisco Veterans Medical Center collected data from 2,763 postmenopausal women with coronary heart disease who participated in the Cardiac and Estrogen Progesterone Replacement** Study. The researchers divided the women into a group with normal kidney function and a group with mild or moderate renal insufficiency.

The average follow-up time for these patients was years. Multivariate analyses showed that women with mild or moderate renal insufficiency were at increased risk of death from coronary heart disease, non-fatal myocardial infarction, hospitalization for unstable angina, stroke, and transient ischemic attack compared with women with normal renal function. The relative risk ratios for these cardiovascular events in women with mild and moderate renal insufficiency were and respectively.

The researchers noted that there was a significant independent association between moderate renal insufficiency and coronary heart disease death, stroke, and transient ischemic events, but not with non-fatal myocardial infarction or unstable angina.

Dr. Shlipak and colleagues concluded: "The study supports the hypothesis that renal function decline from mild to end-stage renal disease may lead to a steady and sustained increase in the risk of cardiovascular events. ”

Analysis of the disease bend training code:

The human body is an organic whole, and diseases of grip position in one part will correspondingly lead to the functional involvement of other organs and cause lesions.

Guidance: If there is water retention in kidney disease and liver disease, resulting in increased compliance of the circulatory system, it is prone to heart failure disease.
