kidney has always been concerned in ancient times. Traditional Chinese medicine even advocates the concept that nourishing the kidney is like nourishing life and the kidney is the foundation of human beings. In today’s society, more and more people often hurt our kidneys because of diet, and ignore it. However, when it comes to the back, when your kidney is full of holes, it is estimated that you can’t recover it. Therefore, we need to resist some bad habits of hurting the kidney at ordinary times. Take a look with me.
Which behaviors will hurt the kidney
take medicine casually
many people don’t like to see a doctor when they are sick, but go directly to the drugstore to buy some medicine for themselves. If you take medicine indiscriminately, it will hurt our kidneys. Because the kidney is responsible for the metabolism of our body and the excretion of drugs, and many drugs have side effects. If you eat them casually without the permission of the doctor, it will increase the burden on the excretion of drugs by the kidney, thus damaging the kidney.
like cold drinks
when the weather is hot, many people like to eat cold drinks to cool down and relieve the summer heat. However, some time ago, a friend of Xiaobian had acute renal failure because he ate too many cold drinks. Fortunately, it was not dangerous to see a doctor in time. So do you know why this happened? This is because when we eat too much cold food, it will affect the blood circulation of our kidneys. Once there is a problem with the blood circulation of our kidneys, it will shrink. So don’t eat too many cold drinks at ordinary times.
eat soft bread
bread will make us happy if it is soft, so soft bread has always been popular. When making soft bread, an additive called potassium bromate is basically added. The function of this additive is to make the bread soft and elastic. But when our human body often ingests this additive, it is easy to damage the kidney and human central nervous system.
often drink beer
drinking beer is a favorite of many men, but if patients with kidney disease already drink beer, uric acid will precipitate and block renal tubules, leading to renal failure. So try not to drink more beer at ordinary times.
high salt diet
now people in every city are more and more mixed, all from all over the world, and their tastes are different. If they are often together, our tastes will become more and more heavy. Many people choose to add a large amount of salt when cooking, but if we often eat a large amount of salt, it will do great harm to our body, because our kidneys basically metabolize a large amount of salt. At this time, if we eat a large amount of salt again, it will put the kidneys in a high load, so as to damage the kidneys.
Protective measures
★ pay attention to keeping warm in winter. The survey found that in winter, whether it is the deterioration of renal function or the new patients who wash the kidney, they are far more than those in other seasons, mainly due to vasoconstriction and rising blood pressure under low temperature. Decreased urination. Blood clotting becomes stronger. Easy to cause kidney problems.
★ don’t take medicine indiscriminately. Many commercially available painkillers, cold medicines and Chinese herbal medicines have nephrotoxicity. Don’t take them indiscriminately without a doctor’s prescription. The side effects of antibiotics and painkillers prescribed by doctors should also be known.
★ don’t overeat and eat too much protein and salt. Will increase the burden on the kidneys. In addition, sports drinks contain extra electrolytes and salts. People with kidney disease should be careful with these drinks.
★ treat a cold. If a cold goes and comes again, or after a cold. There are hypertension, edema, urination and bubbles. You’d better get a nephrologist for screening.
* proper amount of water does not hold back urine, urine retention in the bladder, same as below the sewer, it is easy to reproduce bacteria, bacteria will be infected by the ureter kidney.
. Control of diabetes and hypertension, poor blood pressure control, and diabetes for too long can cause vascular sclerosis. The kidney is made up of millions of microvessels. Blood sugar and blood pressure are not well controlled. The kidneys break fast.
★ regular examination. It is best to check urine and blood creatinine and urea nitrogen every six months. The kidney burden increases when women are pregnant. Renal function should be monitored. So as not to become uremia due to pregnancy toxemia.
How to recuperate if the kidney is bad
healthy living habits
diet should be light, Reduce daily salt intake
control weight
obese patients have a 3 ~ 4 times higher risk of chronic kidney disease than normal weight patients. For obese patients, we should control excessive calorie intake, adhere to physical exercise, maintain stable weight loss, and do not diet blindly, so as to avoid malnutrition, anorexia nervosa and other diseases caused by excessive weight loss, especially do not abuse weight loss drugs blindly to avoid kidney damage.
use drugs with caution
read the instructions carefully when treating diseases. Most drugs are marked with nephrotoxicity or contraindications to avoid taking nephrotoxic drugs for a long time. Some antibiotics, a variety of analgesics (such as aspirin, indomethacin, ibuprofen, etc.), various angiographic agents and some Chinese herbal medicines (such as Guanmutong, guangfangji, Tripterygium wilfordii, etc.) can cause kidney damage, which should be used with caution.
control blood pressure level
for patients with hypertension, controlling blood pressure plays an extremely important role in preventing hypertensive nephropathy. If the blood pressure is above 140 / 90 mmHg, antihypertensive drugs should be taken according to the doctor’s instructions, and must be taken under the guidance of a professional doctor. Do not stop the drugs without authorization to prevent serious heart, brain and kidney diseases.
