As the most important metabolic organ of the human body, the kidney plays an important role in the life activities of the human body, and its main function is to filter waste products and excess water in the blood, maintain the body's water and electrolyte balance and the stability of the internal environment. However, early damage to the kidneys is often overlooked because there are often no obvious symptoms.
The following are some common signs of early kidney damage, but it is important to note that not all of these signals mean that the kidneys have been damaged, and some may be caused by other diseases or lifestyle habits. Therefore, we should pay attention to the signs of early kidney damage, early diagnosis and ** to avoid further aggravation of kidney damage.
Frequent urination and increased or decreased urine output may be a sign of early kidney damage. If we urinate frequently without drinking enough water, or if the amount of urine is significantly higher or less than usual, it could mean that there is a problem with the filtering function of the kidneys. At this time, we should go to the hospital in time to check the albumin in the urine and other indicators of early kidney damage to determine whether there is kidney disease.
Abnormal urine color is also one of the signs of early kidney damage. Normally, urine should be pale yellow. If we notice that the urine is red, brown, green, or white, it may mean that the urine contains too many red blood cells, bilirubin, or pus, etc., which could be a sign of kidney disease. At this time, we should go to the hospital in time to check the red blood cells, bilirubin, and other indicators in the urine to determine whether there is kidney disease.
Increased foamy urine is also one of the signs of early kidney damage. Normally, there will be a small amount of foam in the urine, and these bubbles will disappear quickly. However, if we find that the foam in our urine does not disappear for a long time, it may mean that there is too much protein in the urine, which may be a sign of kidney disease. At this time, we should go to the hospital in time to check the protein and other indicators in the urine to determine whether there is kidney disease.
Fatigue and low back pain can be a sign of early kidney damage. The kidneys are important metabolic organs in the human body, and if the kidneys are damaged, the body's metabolic waste and excess water cannot be excreted from the body, which may lead to symptoms such as fatigue, fatigue and low back pain. At this time, we should go to the hospital in time to check the albumin in the urine and other indicators of early kidney damage to determine whether there is kidney disease.
Edema is also one of the signals of early kidney damage. If we notice edema in certain parts of the body, such as the eyes, face, lower limbs, etc., it could mean that there is a problem with the drainage function of the kidneys, resulting in the inability of water in the body to be excreted. At this time, we should go to the hospital in time to check the albumin in the urine and other indicators of early kidney damage to determine whether there is kidney disease.
In addition to the above symptoms, some patients may also experience symptoms such as itching, dizziness, and shortness of breath. However, these symptoms are not the main sign of early kidney damage, and not all patients with early kidney damage will experience these symptoms. Therefore, if we experience one or more of the above symptoms, we should go to the hospital in time for relevant tests to determine whether there is kidney disease.
In conclusion, the signal of early kidney damage is not just itching and foamy urine. We should pay attention to the above symptoms, go to the hospital in time, and have relevant examinations to determine whether there is kidney disease. At the same time, we should also pay attention to our lifestyle habits and avoid problems such as staying up late, eating very salty, not drinking water, lack of exercise, excessive smoking, drug abuse, excessive worry, repeated infections, and never having a physical examination, which can easily lead to kidney disease. Only in this way can we effectively prevent the occurrence of kidney disease and protect our health.
