Note, 2 bad habits speed up the development of kidney disease to uremia, and doing 4 points can help you stay away from it
If chronic kidney disease is not treated effectively, it can develop to the stage of uremia. At this time, only kidney transplantation or hemodialysis can be used to maintain life. Patients with kidney disease have two bad habits that will speed up the development of uremia, so it is better to quit as early as possible.
Which two bad habits will accelerate the development of kidney disease to uremia?
- Stopping or reducing medication without authorization
Kidney disease has a long treatment cycle and many symptoms, so long-term medication is required, such as anti-inflammatory painkillers, hormone drugs, and immunosuppressants, so as to maintain stable proteinuria. For patients receiving hormone therapy, the proteinuria is stable and the protein quantity is less than 1 gram, and there is no obvious recurrence symptom, the drug can be withdrawn gradually, but the drug should not be stopped suddenly, so as not to cause a recurrence of the disease. At the same time, strictly follow the doctor's instructions to use antihypertensive drugs, Chinese herbal medicines or anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Never pay attention to review
Patients with kidney disease need to regularly detect proteinuria, serum creatinine, uric acid, hemoglobin, and photostatin C. At the same time, they also need to regularly check electrolyte glomerular filtration rate and memory creatinine clearance rate. Microalbuminuria and proteinuria can show renal filtration function; uric acid and creatinine can show kidney detoxification ability; glomerular filtration rate can represent overall renal function. Therefore, only by regular reexamination can we understand the condition of renal function. However, some patients never pay attention to index inspection, and as a result, they fail to grasp the golden period of treatment, thus developing uremia.
How to maintain stable renal function in patients with kidney disease?
- Frequent blood pressure monitoring
Most patients with kidney disease are accompanied by high blood pressure, so they will use sartan or puril antihypertensive drugs, which can not only lower blood pressure, but also delay the deterioration of renal function. However, people who already have renal insufficiency need to change to calcium antagonists and diuretics. Renal function and blood pressure should be monitored during the medication period, and the dosage should be adjusted according to the test results.
- Stable electrolyte
Impaired renal function will lead to electrolyte imbalance, which will increase the difficulty of treatment. Therefore, patients with kidney disease need to regularly monitor blood potassium, blood phosphorus, and blood calcium to maintain them within the normal range.
- Improve immunity
If you want to stabilize kidney disease, you need active anti-inflammatory treatment. If the immune inflammation in the kidney is too active, it can accelerate the damage of renal function, so you need to actively anti-inflammatory. Usually need to pay attention to personal hygiene, adjust the diet, take part in more physical exercise to enhance physical fitness, and actively prevent infection.
- Adjust the diet structure
Patients with kidney disease should follow a low-fat, low-salt, low-phosphorus, low-potassium diet, reasonably supplement high-quality protein and vitamins, refuse to eat high-fat and high-calorie foods, and avoid smoking and drinking.
Kind tips
Do not abuse drugs. Many drugs in life can have toxic effects on the kidneys, such as antibiotics and anti-inflammatory analgesics, drugs containing mercury and potassium, as well as Tripterygium wilfordii and Aristolochia. Patients with kidney disease have weak resistance and are susceptible to infection, so preventive work is required. During the epidemic period of colds, they should not go to public places, and pay attention to cleaning the mouth, skin and perineum. Arrange work and rest reasonably to avoid physical overwork. In winter, you need to change clothes according to the weather, wear a mask when you go out, and avoid densely populated places with poor air circulation to avoid cross-infection. Avoid high-salt diets. Too much salt intake can cause water and sodium retention, increase blood volume, increase kidney pressure and blood pressure, and lead to disease progression. In addition, it is necessary to face the disease correctly, not give up on oneself and be pessimistic and disappointed, and constantly self-regulate, so that the spirit is in a stable state, so that the disease can be stabilized.
