The older a man is, the greater his awareness of kidney protection. Brother Shao from Jiangxi Province is not exempt. During the annual physical examination of the brothers who eat and entertain with Big Brother Shao every day, many people were diagnosed with kidney disease. But Brother Shao still feels good about himself.
There is a reason why he is so confident that he should not have kidney disease. Several brothers around me who suffer from kidney disease have foamy urine symptoms before going to the hospital for treatment.
In addition, I feel a little weak in my body, so I wonder if I am sick. Big Brother Shao made a careful correspondence, and felt that he didn’t have the symptoms that his brothers had before, so there was probably nothing wrong with him!
Time just passed, and Big Brother Shao had no other symptoms, except for the occasional feeling a little itchy skin and a little tightness in clothes. He also said to his family: I guess I got fat at home and became stronger hahaha!
Unexpectedly, at the end of the year, Brother Shao also joined the “camp” of his good brothers. A check-up report from the hospital came down: Diagnosed with chronic kidney disease
What’s going on here? Why is there no omen?
No! But he didn’t pay attention at all!
These 4 symptoms are the wake-up call for damaged kidneys!
01 Edema
When the kidneys are damaged, the water in the body cannot be excreted in time.
People with damaged kidneys are prone to edema due to sodium retention in the body.
Be careful when edema begins to occur in parts of the body, such as the upper eyelid. Eyes are swollen and can’t be opened.
Another high risk area is the ankle. When the ankle is swollen, a small pit will appear when you press it. In severe cases, it is difficult to recover by itself.
Until the condition worsened, the edema of the whole body became more and more obvious.
02 Itchy skin
Not only uremia patients, but also ordinary people with impaired kidney function are also prone to itchy skin.
This is because the kidney function is damaged, the “toxin waste” in the body cannot be smoothly excreted, and it is easy to cause certain irritation to the skin.
This kind of skin itching will last for a long time, and it does not make much sense to apply some antipruritic plaster. Because the lesion is inside.
03 Ineffective antihypertensive drugs
Did you know? When there is a problem with kidney function, blood pressure fluctuations also become larger.
High blood pressure due to kidney problems can also affect our health.
In this case, even some blood pressure medications are not very effective. Moreover, many people ignore kidney disease too much and focus on the blood pressure problem, which is easy to delay the disease.
04 Sleep Apnea
The quality of sleep can reflect the operation of various organs in our body to a certain extent.
If the kidneys are functioning normally and without damage, it will naturally not be felt. But wait until the kidneys filterThe function declines and the body accumulates some toxins and waste, which will further affect the incidence of sleep breathing syndrome.
How to protect our “kidney”?
As a large organ with metabolic functions, the place of the kidney in our body is self-evident. The water balance in the body is simply inseparable from it.
How can we protect our “kidney”?
01 Do not abuse, abuse drugs, health products
It is said that medicines are three-part poisonous. For medicines and health care products, do not eat or abuse them indiscriminately.
Otherwise these substances enter the body, are metabolized by the liver, and are excreted through the kidneys. You can take medicines as prescribed by your doctor. However, eating and abusing health supplements will bring a huge burden to the kidneys.
02 Drink boiled water and massage often
Drink plenty of water, although this sentence sounds a bit cliché, it is as dull as plain water. But it is very important to protect the kidneys.
In order to protect the kidneys, many people often go to the Internet to search for those ingredients to nourish the kidneys, and use them to soak in water to drink. The ingredients that you think are good for your body are paired with boiled water. Isn’t the water that comes out of this bubble more nourishing for the kidneys?
Big mistake! Compared with these waters, plain water is better for kidney health.
Less metabolic tasks and remove toxins and waste from the body is really good for the kidneys. You can also massage more often to promote blood circulation.
Dr.X Says
Beer-like foamy urine is a big sign of kidney damage, but it’s not the only sign. If you want to protect your kidneys, you must first correct your bad habits, and second, observe your own abnormal phenomena. Edema and abnormal skin itching may be a reminder.
