Henoch-Schonlein purpura is an autoimmune agent-mediated systemic hemorrhagic capillitis, which is not only limited to **, but may also cause varying degrees of impact on various organs of the body, especially the kidneys. Once the diagnosis of Henoch-Schonlein purpura is confirmed, patients need to be extra cautious to avoid some factors that may cause kidney damage to prevent irreversible kidney damage.
First, control your blood pressure. High blood pressure is one of the important causes of kidney disease, and it is not uncommon for patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura to have high blood pressure. Therefore, patients should closely monitor their blood pressure after diagnosis, measure blood pressure regularly, and take active measures to control it if necessary to avoid adverse effects of high blood pressure on the kidneys.
Second, avoid nephrotoxic drugs. Some drugs may cause damage to the kidneys, especially some nephrotoxic drugs, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, certain antibiotics, anticancer drugs, etc. Patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura should avoid abusing these drugs, use drugs according to doctor's instructions, and strictly prohibit self-adjustment of dosage or long-term heavy use, so as not to increase the burden on the kidneys.
Also, maintain good habits. Good lifestyle habits are essential for maintaining kidney health. Patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura should maintain adequate sleep, avoid staying up late, and arrange work and rest time reasonably to reduce the burden on the body. In addition, proper exercise can also help promote blood circulation and reduce the burden on the kidneys.
Finally, eat right. Diet is also essential for kidney health. Patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura should avoid excessive intake of salt and high-sugar foods, control protein intake, increase the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits in moderation, and maintain a balanced and varied diet.
Tips] Patients with Henoch-Schonlein purpura need to pay special attention to protecting kidney health and avoiding irreversible kidney invasion after diagnosis. Controlling blood pressure, avoiding nephrotoxic drugs, maintaining good lifestyle habits, and eating a sensible diet are all very important measures. Only by actively taking measures to protect the kidneys can we reduce the burden on the kidneys and maintain the health of patients.
