Can women get kidney disease?

Zhu Chouwen, an associate professor of internal medicine at Zhongshan Hospital, said that some of women's own physiological characteristics are easy to lead to kidney diseases. First of all, women's immunity is lower than that of men, and some autoimmune diseases, such as lupus erythematosus and dermatomyositis, are the most common in young and middle-aged women. With the changes in the modern social environment, the incidence of this immune disease is increasing day by day.

When the immune system is compromised, the kidneys are inevitably damaged as well.

In addition, because the female urethra is relatively wide and straight, leading directly to the bladder, it is easy to cause infection, and the proportion of cystitis and urethritis is also very high, and if the chronic onset is not controlled, it will also lead to nephritis. Therefore, women are born with a high incidence of kidney diseases.

Sentimentality damages the kidneys.

Cheng Yueming, deputy director of the Department of Internal Medicine of the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that modern women are under unprecedented competitive pressure, and young white-collar workers are the first to bear the brunt. Rivalry between colleagues, tension between superiors and subordinates, and emotional issues have all become a source of stress for them. Temperament and impulsiveness are common traits among young people, while women are prone to sentimentality, so young women are the most emotionally unstable group.

If you are depressed for a long time, your body's immunity will also be affected, and your kidneys may gradually suffer from loss.

In addition, office white-collar workers are in an unventilated air-conditioned environment for a long time, and the content of harmful substances in the air such as carbon dioxide and toxic dust is too high, which will induce a decline in the immune function of the kidneys and other visceral organs, and if it develops for a long time, nephritis may be formed. Modern people enjoy more fast food, the nutritional structure is not very reasonable, the calories are too high, and the overheating of the kidneys will also lead to a decrease in resistance.

Don't eat supplements.

The clinical manifestations of kidney weakness are dry mouth, gray complexion, frequent urination, urgency, soreness in the waist and knees, etc., and in severe cases, symptoms such as tinnitus, blood in the urine, and blurred vision will occur.

Experts point out that after the above symptoms appear, do not rush to the doctor. Many kidney diseases are caused by unclear personal constitution, without diagnosis by a professional doctor, overtaking or overtaking of health care products, and destroying the internal balance of the human body.

In winter, when the weather is dry, you can open the windows appropriately for ventilation and drink plenty of water to prevent kidney yin deficiency. Eat more cool foods in your diet, such as yam, seeds, honeysuckle, mung beans, cassia seeds, fish soup, etc. Young white-collar workers should prevent overwork, and at the same time strengthen their inner cultivation to prevent intense emotional changes.

Kidney disease is not directly related to gender, generally manifested as proteinuria, hematuria, edema, high blood pressure, etc., you can go to the hospital to sit down blood and urine routine, etc., I wish you a speedy **!

Women have kidneys, and kidneys are important organs for human beings, regardless of gender. The basic function of the kidney is to produce urine to remove metabolites and certain waste products and poisons from the body, and at the same time retain water and other useful substances such as glucose, protein, amino acids, sodium ions, potassium ions, sodium bicarbonate, etc., through reabsorption, so as to regulate water and electrolyte balance and maintain acid-base balance.

At the same time, the viscera also has endocrine functions, generating renin, erythropoietin, active vitamin D3, prostaglandins, kinins, etc., and is the degradation site of some endocrine hormones in the body and the target organ of extrarenal hormones.
