Uremia, which is a demonic being, is also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It creeps into people's lives silently, destroying the function of the kidneys, making them unable to effectively remove waste and excess fluid from the body.
These waste and liquids that cannot be discharged are like time bombs, threatening our health at all times and causing a series of serious diseases.
Uremia, as the terminator of all kidney diseases, does not mean that once you have kidney disease, you will definitely step into this ultimate valley. Today's medical boat is sailing on the vast ocean, and the method is like a lighthouse guiding the direction of hope. As long as we hold on to the rudder of life, the storm of kidney disease will not push us into the abyss of uremia.
The likelihood of developing uremia varies from season to season.
In the face of such a situation, we cannot easily panic ourselves. Every voyage of life is unique and requires wisdom and courage to face it. Only by being clear about our own condition and grasping the doctor's best plan can we move forward steadily in the journey of life and not be swayed by fear.
1. The types of kidney disease are different
The world of life is rich and colorful, and kidney disease is one of them. Some of them are menacing like acute glomerulonephritis, some are as easy as nephrotic syndrome, and some are like chronic glomerulonephritis, which lurks the danger of not being able to **, and may eventually slide into the abyss of uremia.
Diabetic nephropathy, on the other hand, is equally worrisome, and once it gets out of control, it may embark on the same path of no return.
2. The time of discovery of kidney disease is different
In the face of cancer and kidney disease, the importance of early detection and early detection is self-evident. Just as early diagnosis and** cancer can effectively prevent the disease from progressing, the same is true for kidney disease.
Only by detecting the abnormality of the kidneys early can it be quickly activated** so that kidney function can be restored as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the kidney disease enters the middle and advanced stages, most of the tissues of the kidneys will face chronic lesions, gradually hardening or fibrosis, and kidney function will continue to decline.
Eventually, kidney disease can progress to uremia, at which point only hemodialysis or kidney transplantation can be relied upon to sustain life.
Therefore, the early detection and development of kidney disease is crucial, which can effectively prevent the malignant progression of the disease to uremia and strive for a better quality of life for patients.
3. The method is different
Some patients with kidney disease are convinced that hospitals and doctors will seek the expertise of a formal medical institution at the beginning of the disease**;;;Others, on the other hand, are suspicious of the hospital and prefer secret home remedies that are reluctant to step through the doors.
These two very different attitudes ultimately lead to very different outcomes. Those who choose a regular hospital are often able to control their condition firmly, while those who listen to home remedies often deteriorate and even accelerate the progression to uremia.
4. Nursing is different
Some people with kidney disease are overly optimistic and lack a deep understanding of their condition, believing that their disease is not serious and that they do not need to be too cautious in their lives. However, this kind of thinking is extremely dangerous.
Regardless of the type of kidney disease, we should be vigilant, because a serious disease like uremia is always waiting in the shadows. In the process of **, we should not only pay attention to the role of drugs, but also pay attention to the nursing work in life. Otherwise, while hurting the kidneys, the efficacy will be greatly reduced.
Uremia, as the name sounds scary, is caused by long-standing kidney failure.
And kidney failure, like the roots of a big tree gradually withering, may be caused by high blood pressure, diabetes, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, etc. These diseases or factors, like a sharp knife, gradually damage the kidneys, causing them to gradually decline in function.
In the process of gradual decline in kidney function, the kidney's filtration function is like a dimming lamp, and it can no longer effectively remove waste and excess fluid from the body.
When kidney function is lost to a certain extent, it enters the end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which is what we call the uremia stage. The development of uremia, like the slow discoloration of leaves in autumn, is a gradual process rather than a sudden occurrence.
In the early stages of kidney failure, patients may have no obvious symptoms, as if the disease is quietly eating away at the body. However, as kidney function declines further, symptoms develop gradually and worsen. If it is not carried out in time at this time**, uremia may progress to a severe degree like a beast of prey, and even threaten life.

1. Urine smell:
In the embryonic stage of uremia, the kidney function is like that of a tired laborer, unable to effectively remove waste products from the body. These wastes, which cannot be excreted, are like trapped ghosts, lingering in the body and lodged in the urine, causing the originally fresh urine to gradually deposit the products of metabolism.
These metabolic wastes, like imprisoned demons, release unpleasant odors, and may even emit a strong ammonia odor or other unbearable odor that makes the urine smell extremely unpleasant.
2. Oral odor:
Uremia, a hidden "killer", may reveal its hind feet in the early stage: the appearance of bad breath. You may feel that breathing is no longer a pleasure, but is invaded by "poisonous gas". This is due to the accumulation of waste products in the body, which quietly penetrate into the bloodstream and are discharged through the respiratory system, making the breath extremely unpleasant.
Not only that, but uremia can also wreak havoc in the mouth, leading to oral problems such as gingivitis and mouth ulcers. These problems are like a "ticking time bomb" in the mouth, which can trigger bursts of intense pain at any time, making the patient miserable. Worse still, they can exacerbate bad breath problems like a lingering nightmare.
1. Don't drink too much water:
In the advanced stages of uremia, the function of the kidneys suffers severe damage and is unable to effectively remove excess water from the body.
Just as a tired porter can't carry more of the burden, too much water intake can cause water to build up in the body, putting more pressure on the already burdened kidneys, which can accelerate the progression of uremia. Therefore, patients need to strictly control their water intake and only consume the right amount of water recommended by their doctor or dietitian.
2. Don't eat a high-protein diet
For patients with advanced uremia, their renal function has been lost and protein metabolites cannot be processed effectively. If these metabolites, such as urea nitrogen, accumulate too much in the body, it will not only increase the burden on the kidneys, but may also cause other complications.
Therefore, patients need to strictly limit their protein intake to avoid overload. When choosing foods, they should follow the advice of their doctor or dietitian to consume high-quality protein foods in moderation. In this way, the patient's body can be kept in a relatively stable state and more complications can be avoided.
3. Don't overdo it
For patients with advanced uremia, their kidney function is already severely impaired, and the body's metabolic capacity is reduced. This causes them to easily feel exhausted and waste products accumulate in the body. Excessive exercise will undoubtedly increase the burden on the body and put more pressure on the already fragile kidneys.
It's like putting a tired person on a heavy burden, which is undoubtedly worse. Therefore, patients must strictly follow the doctor's guidance according to their own conditions when exercising or doing activities. Only in this way can you ensure that exercise is moderate and avoid putting an extra burden on your body.
First of all, a moderate reduction in protein intake does help slow the progression of kidney disease, but for some patients with kidney disease with hypoproteinemia and massive proteinuria, eating more high-quality protein in moderation is beneficial to kidney health.
Milk, eggs, poultry, lean meat, etc. are all high-quality protein diets**, moderate intake can help improve hypoproteinemia, and also pay attention to the control of proteinuria.
Second, the notion that drinking less water reduces the burden on the kidneys is actually harmful. The kidneys have a powerful filtering function, and drinking too little water can harm their function.
In the case of severe impairment of kidney function, maintaining normal and adequate water intake is very beneficial to promote metabolism, reduce the metabolic burden of the kidneys, and prevent diseases such as kidney stones. Drink plenty of water and urinate more, as holding urine may affect the health of the urinary system, especially the kidneys.
Moreover, the view that "what you eat can make up for it, and eating your kidneys can replenish your kidneys" is also inaccurate. Although animal offal is rich in cholesterol and purines, which may lead to elevated blood lipids and uric acid, it is not a food that is beneficial to kidney health.
For friends with high uric acid problems, they should eat less animal offal to avoid the risk of gout and kidney stones caused by excessive exogenous uric acid.
In addition, although black beans are rich in plant proteins and nutrients, there are no special nutrients that are beneficial to kidney health. A truly healthy diet should be a balanced supplement of various nutrients, while reducing the excessive intake of purines, salts and other substances.
In addition, it is also necessary to distinguish between "tonifying the kidney" and maintaining the physiological health of the kidney. The concept of kidney deficiency is different from the essence of physiological kidney health, and if it is necessary to regulate the imbalance of yin and yang, it should be used rationally under the guidance of a doctor.
Abuse of "kidney-tonifying" drugs or long-term medication may increase the metabolic burden of the kidneys and even lead to drug-induced kidney injury. Therefore, it is necessary to clearly distinguish and rationally use drugs, not to abuse drugs, not to be ambiguous when drugs are needed, and not to eat indiscriminately when drugs are not needed.
