When kidney failure first appeared, there were 4 strange things in the body. Reminder: Don't delay until the disease worsens
Traditional Chinese medicine says that "the waist is the house of the kidney". The kidney has the functions of supporting, promoting and coordinating the yin and yang of the whole body. Therefore, the kidney is called "the foundation of yin and yang of the five zang organs". There is also a saying in Chinese medicine that "kidney governs bone and produces marrow", which shows the importance of kidney to human body. If the kidneys are damaged, it will also affect the damage of multiple organs in the body. The health of the kidneys is related to the lifeblood of our health. Once the kidneys are damaged, the body will suffer a lot of damage. The most common kidney disease is kidney failure. Kidney failure is often menacing. If it is not detected in time, it will often cause irreversible damage to the kidneys and seriously damage the body.
Hematuria, proteinuria, water intoxication and acidosis are common symptoms of renal failure. In addition, renal failure can also cause hyperkalemia and uremia. Among them, hyperkalemia is an important cause of death in the early stage of renal failure. Not to mention uremia, which seriously affects renal function, causes great damage to the human body, and is also an important cause of late renal failure.
So how can we detect kidney failure early? In fact, when kidney failure first appears, there are often 4 abnormalities in the body, don't force it!
Decreased urine and increased nocturia
In the early stage of chronic renal failure, there will be a decrease in urine, but the urine will increase at night. This is not an increase in the number of nighttime urination, but an increase in the amount of urine. Generally, when the amount of urine at night is greater than 750ml or greater than the amount of urine during the day, we should pay attention, which is likely to be a precursor to renal failure.
Edema in lower extremities
In the early stage of renal failure, edema of the lower extremities often occurs. Many people do not care about edema when it first appears, because there are many reasons for edema. For example, long-term standing and work fatigue can cause edema of the lower extremities. However, the edema of the lower extremities may also be caused by the lack of renal function. As we mentioned earlier, in the early stage of chronic renal failure, the urine output is generally reduced. The water in the body cannot be excreted through urination, which will cause water and sodium retention, resulting in lower extremity edema.
Loss of appetite, physical fatigue
Patients suffering from renal failure sometimes feel that they have no appetite and lack of appetite. This is most likely due to the decline of renal function, which leads to the accumulation of toxins and stimulates the stomach. Therefore, the gastrointestinal function is impaired and appetite is affected. In addition, in the early stage of renal failure, there are also symptoms of fatigue. This is because renal failure causes the secretion of erythropoietin in the kidneys to decrease, which leads to symptoms of anemia, which often makes the body feel tired. Tired. In addition, kidney failure will destroy the electrolyte balance in the body, and the body will also feel fatigued due to this effect.
Increased foamy urine when urinating
If there is a significant increase in urine foam when urinating, we should pay attention, which indicates that our urine protein is increased. One of the early features of chronic renal failure is increased proteinuria. Therefore, if the urinary protein of patients with kidney disease suddenly increases, we need to be particularly vigilant about the accelerated development of kidney disease. In addition, when this happens, we need to go to the hospital for a further 24-hour urine protein test to verify whether we really have high urine protein.
The above are some of the abnormalities that may appear in the body when kidney failure has just appeared. If the above 4 kinds of abnormalities appear in your body, please do not be careless, you must pay attention to it, seek medical examination in time, and do not shirk the avoidance of doctors, otherwise it will become uremia, which will only make people regret it!
