When renal failure first appeared, there were 4 faint abnormalities in the body. Reminder: don’t delay until the condition gets worse

According to traditional Chinese medicine, "the waist is the home of the kidneys". The kidneys have the functions of aiding, promoting, and coordinating the yin and yang of the whole body, so the kidneys are called "the foundation of yin and yang in the five internal organs." There is also a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that "the kidney governs the bone and produces the marrow", which shows the importance of the kidney to the human body. If the kidney is damaged, it will also affect the damage of multiple organs in the body. The health of the kidney is related to the lifeline of our health. Once the kidneys are damaged, the body will suffer great damage. The most common kidney disease is kidney failure. Kidney failure is often aggressive. If it is not discovered in time and allowed to rage, it will often cause irreversible damage to the kidneys and seriously damage the body.

Hematuria, proteinuria, water intoxication, acidosis, etc. are all 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 kidney function and causes great damage to the human body, and is also an important cause of death in the late stage of renal failure.

So how do we detect kidney failure early? In fact, when kidney failure first appears, there are often 4 abnormalities in the body, don't hold on!

Decreased urination 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. What I'm talking about here is not an increase in the frequency of urination at night, but an increase in urine output. Generally, when the urine output at night is greater than 750ml or greater than the urine output during the day, we should pay attention, which is likely to be a precursor to kidney failure.

Edema in the lower extremities of the body

Lower extremity edema often occurs in the early stage of renal failure. Many people don't 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 in the lower limbs. However, the edema of the lower extremities may also be caused by the loss of kidney function. As we mentioned earlier, in the early stage of chronic renal failure, the overall urine output is reduced. The water in the body cannot be excreted through urination, which will cause water and sodium retention and edema of the lower extremities.

Loss of appetite, physical fatigue

Patients suffering from renal failure sometimes feel loss of appetite and loss of appetite. This is most likely due to the decline in renal function, which leads to the accumulation of toxins and stimulates the stomach, so the gastrointestinal function is impaired and affects appetite. In addition, in the early stage of renal failure, there are also symptoms of fatigue. This is because renal failure leads to a decrease in the secretion of erythropoietin in the kidneys, and then symptoms of anemia appear, which makes the body often feel tired. tired. In addition, kidney failure will destroy the electrolyte balance in the body, and under this influence, the body will also feel fatigued.

Foamy urine when urinating

If there is a significant increase in urine foam when urinating, then we should pay attention to it, which indicates that our urine protein has increased. One of the early features of chronic renal failure is the phenomenon of increased urinary protein. Therefore, if the urinary protein in patients with kidney disease suddenly increases, we need to be particularly alert to the accelerated development of kidney disease. In addition, if 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 abnormalities that may occur in the body when kidney failure first appears. If your body has the above 4 kinds of abnormalities, please don’t be careless, you must pay attention to it, seek medical examination in time, and don’t shirk avoiding medical treatment, otherwise it will become uremia, which will only make people regret it!
