If a man's urination frequency in 24 hours is close to 'this number', 'uremia' may be farther away from you
Both boys and girls have two kidneys. The kidneys play a vital role in maintaining acid-base balance, detoxification, and endocrine.
01 Data on uremia in China.
According to China's kidney disease data, in 2017, China's dialysis population reached 580,000. In the past 20 years, the number of dialysis patients has increased about 13-fold and will continue to refresh and climb.
The number of uremia patients in China is still increasing, and the China Kidney Disease Data Network predicts that the number of dialysis patients will increase by 35% in 2025 compared with 17 years.
Although uremia patients can continue to live on dialysis without the fatal disease, uremia still scares many people, mainly because uremia is the most expensive chronic disease in the world.
Dialysis fees, drug fees, and hospitalization fees can reach about 100,000 yuan per year. For the situation in China, if the monthly income does not exceed 10,000 yuan, it is difficult to survive even with uremia, and the expensive medical expenses will drag down a family.
02 What is the role of the kidneys?
Kidney is an important organ of the human body, with excretory and endocrine functions. Through the excretion function of the kidneys, the toxic and harmful substances in our body can be excreted through the urine.
Only substances that are beneficial to the human body can be maintained in the human body, thereby keeping the electrolyte acid-base balance in the body stable.
As an endocrine organ, the kidney can secrete prostaglandin, which has a good effect on regulating blood pressure. The kidneys secrete erythropoietin to reduce anemia.
The kidneys can also promote calcium absorption and play a role in regulating blood calcium metabolism, so the health of the kidneys is very important to our body.
03 If a man urinates close to this number every day, uremia may be far away from you.
Because kidney safety affects our urination, we can check for problems with our kidneys.
If we can excrete an appropriate amount of urine every day, the garbage and toxins in our body can be excreted in time, the internal environment of our body can be cleaned, the probability of urinary system infection can be reduced to a certain extent, and the urinary system can be maintained to a certain extent. effect.
Our urination is affected by many factors. If you drink plenty of water, the weather is hot, and you are exercising a lot, it may promote the excretion of urine.
Taking these factors into consideration, if we urinate about 4 to 8 times a day, our kidney function is normal.
Generally speaking, if you are healthy, the urine output can reach about 1500 ml in 24 hours. If it exceeds 2500 ml, it may be caused by various factors and belong to the polyuria group.
There are also some people whose urine output is less than 400 ml in 24 hours. Such people generally have less urine output, but less than 100 ml of urine per day, and are considered anuria clinically.
This is an anomaly. If you urinate less or less frequently, it could be a kidney problem. If kidney problems are not treated in time, it is likely to develop into uremia and affect health.
Therefore, it is usually necessary to understand your urination situation, and to a certain extent, you can judge kidney problems, which is conducive to timely detection and treatment.
04 If the body has uremia, what are the characteristics?
Uremia is mainly due to renal function problems, so the excretion and endocrine of the kidneys will decrease. In patients with uremia, renal function will be damaged by more than 90%, and some patients will reach 100%.
Edema, if there is a problem with the kidneys, insufficient water excretion, low urine output, and a large amount of water retention in the body, it will lead to facial edema, pulmonary edema, etc.
Bad breath, because the toxins in our body cannot be excreted in time, some people will have nausea and vomiting symptoms, affecting people's appetite, but it will also lead to excessive accumulation of urea in the body, forming an ammonia odor in the mouth.
Anemia, as the endocrine function begins to decline, the secretion of erythropoietin is insufficient, and some patients are pale, palpitations and fatigue, leading to anemia.
Lung infection, because after kidney problems, appetite will be affected to a certain extent, resulting in hypoalbuminemia, malnutrition, lung infection or cough and fever.
The kidneys can regulate the balance of electrolytes in the body. If there is a problem with the kidneys and electrolytes are not regulated in time, hyperkalemia can develop, leading to cardiac arrest and slowing of the heartbeat.
So usually we have to take good care of our kidneys and develop good living habits in order to have a good body to fight diseases.
