Mr. Wang, 45, was hospitalized with low back pain nine years ago and was found to have kidney stones.
At that time, his kidney function was normal, so there was no follow-up treatment. After that, there was no major problem with his kidneys, until one night three months ago, Mr. Wang was suddenly awakened by urine in his sleep, and he got up to pee at night for the first time.
After that, he didn't stop peeing in the middle of the night.
At first, Mr. Wang wanted to carry it on his body as before, but when he woke up one day, he found that his whole body was swollen, like a peeled winter melon.
Mrs. Wang couldn't help it and dragged him to the hospitalI didn't expect to check it, and it was already uremia.
Mr. Wang couldn't accept it and yelled. The doctor frowned and said to him
You're too late, and your kidneys have already shouted "help" to you many times.
1. If there are 4 abnormalities in sleep, don't ignore them, or the kidneys are calling for help
The kidneys give the body a lot of reminders before they develop serious symptoms.
There are several anomalies that appear at night, don't ignore them, it's likely that it's calling for help from you.
1. Nocturia increases significantly
The presence of increased nocturia indicates that kidney function is already in the early stages of decline. Normally, the amount of urine in the human body during the day is higher than at night, but when the kidneys are damaged and the concentration function is reduced, the filtration function of urine is abnormal, and the urine will increase at night.
2. Insomnia and night sweats
Night sweats are when the body sweats after falling asleep, but does not sweat when you wake up. People with reduced kidney function are prone to insomnia and night sweats due to the inability to completely excrete toxins from the body, which will affect the whole body and mind. In addition, there is a possibility of dry mouth and dreaminess.
3. The body is swollen
The kidneys have the function of metabolizing water, and if the kidneys function decrease, water in the body will accumulate. If the human body has puffy eyelids, legs and feet, etc., and there is no way to rebound immediately after pressing, then it depends on whether there is a problem with the kidneys.
4. Back pain
One of the triggers of low back pain is kidney problems. Therefore, if you have low back pain, backache, waist bloating, etc., whether you lie flat or on your side while sleeping, you will not be able to relieve the dull pain in your lower back. Then it is necessary to check whether there is a problem with the kidneys.
2. 7 inconspicuous behaviors that are hollowing out your kidneys
In daily life, the vast majority of people have experienced these 7 behaviors.
These 7 bad habits are likely to have a bad effect on the kidneys and even hollow out the kidneys.
1. Hold urine
Holding back a lot of urine, the most injured is the urinary system. Urine contains metabolites and toxins, and if not eliminated in time, it can cause urinary tract infections and nephritis.
2. Drink less water for a long time
Long-term insufficient water intake will increase the concentration of urine, allowing oxalcalcin, uric acid and other substances to accumulate and precipitate, forming kidney stones.
3. Habitually staying up lateIt is difficult to stay up late to avoid excessive food intake, which increases the burden on the kidneys.
4. Habitual high-fat, high-salt, and high-oil diet
Heavy bites of food are not friendly to the kidneys, especially excessive salt, which makes the kidneys have to overwork.
5. Like to smoke
Tobacco contains a large number of carcinogens, which can damage the function of renal tubules and can lead to kidney failure in severe cases.
6. Drug abuse
The kidneys are the organs that handle medicines, and taking drugs indiscriminately will increase the accumulation of toxins in the kidneys, which will eventually lead to kidney damage.
7. Chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
Persistent high blood pressure can increase the pressure on the kidneys, leading to fibrosis, ischemia and even necrosis, while complications such as diabetes can also exacerbate kidney lesions.
3. Urinating as soon as you drink water or drinking water without urinating, which is uremia?
You must find it strange that some people pee as soon as they drink water, and some people don't have to go to the toilet no matter how much they drink.
Which of these two people is healthier?
1. Why do some people pee as soon as they drink water?
The urge to urinate as soon as you drink water is sometimes not caused by a disease. It may be because the bladder capacity of the human body is relatively small, or the temperature is relatively cold in autumn and winter, and the urine is increased due to the stimulation of the cold.
In addition, it may also be caused by poor drinking habits, some people are not thirsty to the point of hiccups, dry throat and sore throat do not drink water, at this time, too much water intake in a short period of time will cause the bladder to not hold so much water for a while, want to pee.
2. Why do some people drink a lot of water but have no urge to urinate?
Some people do not have a strong urge to urinate no matter how much water they drink, it may be because such people like exercise very much, sweat flows out during exercise, reducing the body's water, and urine will be reduced accordingly, so there will be no urge to urinate.
At the same time, it may also be because the body is extremely dehydrated, and drinking a lot of water only replenishes the body's water needs.
In addition, it is also possible that these people have the habit of holding urine. When holding urine, the bladder usually stores a large amount of water, and the body gets used to this state, so even if the bladder is full of urine, it will not easily produce the urge to urinate in the future.
3. Can you tell that there is a problem with the kidneys from the time of drinking water to urinating?
No. Because the metabolic function of the kidneys is not triggered only after a person drinks water, but is carried out all the time. Even if the human body does not drink water for a long time, urine is produced due to metabolic functions.
The capacity of the bladder in which the body stores urine varies individually, and the time to urinate is largely dependent on whether the bladder is filled with urine. People with small bladders have a small urine capacity, and when they are full, they will send a signal to the brain to urinate, and they are prone to urinating in a short period of time. People with large bladders have a large urine storage capacity, and the interval between urine and urine is relatively long.
None of the above is a good way to judge whether there is a problem with the kidney, and the really good way to do it is not to do anything that harms it, but to do more things to protect it.
