If the number of 24-hour urination of a man is close to 'this number', 'uremia' may be far 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 by about 13 times, 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 to 2017.
Although uremia patients can continue to live with dialysis instead of a 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. As for the situation in China, if the monthly income does not exceed 10,000 yuan, even if you have uremia, it is difficult to survive, and the expensive medical expenses will drag a family down.
02 What is the function of the kidney?
The kidney is an important organ of the human body, which has excretory and endocrine functions. Through the excretory 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 kept in the human body, so as to maintain the balance and stability of the electrolyte acid-base in the body.
As an endocrine organ, the kidneys can secrete prostaglandins and adenoids, which have a good effect on regulating blood pressure. The kidneys can secrete erythropoietin to reduce anemia.
The kidney can also promote the absorption of calcium and regulate blood calcium metabolism, so the health of the kidney is very important to our body.
03 If a man urinates close to this number per day, uremia may be far away from you.
Because the safety of the kidneys affects our urination, we can check whether there is a problem with our kidneys.
If we can excrete an appropriate amount of urine every day, the garbage and toxins in our body can be discharged in time, and the internal environment of our body can be cleaned. To a certain extent, the probability of urinary system infection can be reduced, 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 exercise vigorously, it may promote the excretion of urine.
Considering these factors, if we urinate about 4 to 8 times a day, it means that our kidney function is normal.
Generally speaking, if you are in good health, your urine output can reach about 1500 ml within 24 hours. If it exceeds 2500 ml, it may be caused by various factors and belongs to the group of polyuria.
There are also some people whose 24-hour urine output is less than 400 ml. Such people generally have less urine output, but the daily urine output is less than 100 ml, which is clinically considered anuria.
This is an exceptional situation. If your urine output is low or you urinate infrequently, 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 necessary to understand your urination situation at ordinary times, 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, the 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, less urine output, and a large amount of water retention in the body, it will cause facial edema, pulmonary edema, etc.
Bad breath, because the toxins in our body cannot be excreted in time, some people will have symptoms of nausea and vomiting, which will affect people's appetite, but it will also lead to excessive accumulation of urea in the body, forming ammonia odor in the mouth.
Anemia, as the endocrine function begins to decline, the secretion of erythropoietin is insufficient, 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 cannot be adjusted in time, hyperkalemia can occur, causing 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.
