When toxins accumulate in the body’s internal organs and under the dermis, dry and itchy skin may also occur.

anemia p>
The kidneys do a lot of work, and it is also responsible for secreting erythropoietin, which promotes the production of red blood cells.
If the kidneys are not good, the synthesis of erythropoietin is insufficient, and the red blood cells decrease, which will result in renal anemia.

•renal function test
blood test, kidney function test by test , such as blood urea nitrogen, blood creatinine, blood uric acid, glomerular filtration rate, etc., can judge whether there is a problem with renal function.
Urinary Ultrasound

Drink less water and eat less
Too much salt
Drinking enough water will reduce the amount of urine and increase the concentration of wastes and toxins in the urine, which can easily lead to kidney stones, kidney Kidney diseases such as stagnant water.
95% of the salt in our diet is metabolized by the kidneys, eating too much salt, sodium Ions will leave a large amount of water in the blood, which will increase the burden on the kidneys, increase blood pressure, and induce kidney disease.
