Health for All says
One of the early symptoms: fatigue and fatigue. Fatigue and fatigue are one of the common symptoms in the early stages of kidney failure, and patients often feel tired during daily activities and even do light things easily. This is because the waste products and toxins in the body cannot be effectively eliminated due to kidney damage, which causes the body's metabolic ability to decrease, resulting in fatigue.
Early symptom 2: loss of appetite. Kidney damage can cause waste and toxins to build up in the body, causing us to lose our appetite. Many people often ignore this phenomenon, attributing it to work stress or other causes, not realizing that it may be related to the health of their kidneys. Therefore, when feeling a loss of appetite, we should take into account that there may be a problem with the kidneys.
Early symptom 3: abnormal urine. When the kidneys are damaged, the body's ability to regulate water decreases, and the excretion of waste products in the urine is also affected. Therefore, patients with early kidney failure may experience urine abnormalities such as cloudy urine, decreased urine output, abnormal urine color, etc. These manifestations, while seemingly inconspicuous, are an important warning sign for kidney health.
Early symptom 4: edema. When the kidneys are not functioning properly, the body's water metabolism is affected, which in turn leads to edema. Edema is mainly manifested by swelling of the eyelids, face, fingers, or ankles, especially in the morning when you wake up. If you find that there is edema in the body, you should pay attention to it in time and check the health of the kidneys.
Early symptom 5: anemia. The kidneys are important organs responsible for the production of red blood cells, and when the kidneys are damaged, the ability to produce red blood cells is affected, leading to anemia. People with anemia often experience symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and paleness, which may be overlooked and often thought to be caused by work or life stress.
These are the five early symptoms of kidney failure that may be overlooked, and when we experience these symptoms, we should pay enough attention and seek medical attention in time. In addition to the common causes of these symptoms, TCM theories and ancient and modern prescriptions also offer ways to help protect and restore kidney health. For example, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys are the foundation of life and are closely related to the growth and development of the human body, reproduction, immunity, etc. TCM believes that the health of the kidneys is closely related to the metabolism of water, so it is important to maintain proper water intake. In addition, some traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are also widely used in the clinical practice of kidney health care and kidney disease, such as Gongshen Drink, Liuwei Dihuang Pill, etc.
In the development of modern medicine, the effectiveness of Chinese medicine for kidney failure has been increasingly recognized. For example, a clinical study based on traditional Chinese medicine** on kidney failure found that traditional Chinese medicine** significantly improved kidney function and clinical symptoms in patients. In addition, there are also some studies that show that Chinese medicine is more effective than Western medicine in kidney disease. These findings suggest that TCM plays an important role in protecting kidney health and kidney disease.
In summary, kidney health is essential for human health. Neglect of early symptoms of kidney failure can lead to serious consequences, so we should pay attention to these symptoms early and pay attention to them. Traditional Chinese medicine theories and ancient and modern prescriptions provide important guidance for kidney health care and kidney disease**, and traditional Chinese medicine** has shown its unique advantages in clinical practice. Therefore, we should actively take measures to protect kidney health, pay attention to the adjustment of lifestyle habits, and cooperate with TCM doctors to timely and intervene in the development of kidney disease.
