Let's talk about the health things of Lichun
In modern society, food safety and drug safety have always been the focus of attention. Recently, there have been reports that a substance is more toxic than arsenic, and some people have developed symptoms of acute kidney failure after ingestion. This article will analyze in detail the composition and hazards of this substance, as well as the best methods of Chinese and Western medicine.
1. Composition and hazards of the substance.
The substance, called "formaldehyde" and with the chemical formula HCO, is a colorless gas with a strong pungent odor. Formaldehyde is widely used in construction, furniture, decoration and other fields, and is also a toxic chemical. Formaldehyde can enter the human body through respiratory tract, digestive tract and ** contact, causing great harm to human health.
Formaldehyde is harmful to the human body mainly in the following aspects:
1.Irritation: Formaldehyde has a strong irritating effect on the human body, mucous membranes and eyes, which can lead to allergies, eye congestion, cough and other symptoms.
2.Nervous system damage: Long-term exposure to formaldehyde can cause headache, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, memory loss and other symptoms, and in severe cases, neurasthenia.
3.Respiratory system damage: Formaldehyde can cause respiratory irritation and inflammation, and long-term inhalation of formaldehyde gas can lead to chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma, bronchitis, etc.
4.Immune system damage: Formaldehyde can damage the body's immune system, making people more susceptible to diseases.
5.Carcinogenicity: Formaldehyde is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and long-term exposure to formaldehyde increases the risk of cancer.
6.Reproductive system damage: Formaldehyde has a damaging effect on the reproductive system, and long-term exposure to formaldehyde can lead to decreased fertility and fetal malformations.
7.Kidney damage: As mentioned at the beginning of this article, formaldehyde can lead to acute kidney failure, which can be even life-threatening in severe cases.
2. Symptoms and diagnosis of the disease.
Acute renal failure refers to a series of symptoms caused by a sharp decline in kidney function in a short period of time, resulting in the inability of metabolites and toxins from the body to be excreted normally. Symptoms of acute renal failure mainly include:
1.Urinary symptoms: such as decreased urine output, dark urine color, urine protein and red blood cells, etc.
2.Systemic symptoms: such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, headache, palpitation, etc.
3.Cardiovascular symptoms: such as hypertension, edema, increased cardiac workload, etc.
4.Neurological symptoms: such as confusion, convulsions, coma, etc.
Diagnosis of acute renal failure is based on history, clinical symptoms, and laboratory findings. Laboratory tests mainly include the detection of serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, blood electrolytes, urine routine and other items.
3. Method.
The principle of acute renal failure is to restore kidney function as soon as possible, remove toxins from the body, and at the same time treat symptomatic complications. **Methods mainly include:
1.Conservative**: such as adequate rest, dietary modification, fluid and electrolyte supplementation, maintenance of acid-base balance, etc.
2.Medications**: such as antibiotics** infection, diuretics to reduce edema, antihypertensive drugs to control hypertension, etc.
3.Blood purification**: such as hemodialysis, hemofiltration, plasma exchange, etc., to remove toxins from the body.
4.Kidney transplantation: For patients with severe acute renal failure, kidney transplantation is an effective means.
Fourth, the view of traditional Chinese medicine and the best plan.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that acute kidney failure belongs to the categories of "edema" and "uremia". Traditional Chinese Medicine**Acute kidney failure mainly starts from the following aspects:
1.Clearing heat and detoxifying: Formaldehyde is a poisonous evil, and traditional Chinese medicine should focus on clearing heat and detoxifying, and choose drugs with heat-clearing and detoxification effects, such as Coptis chinensis, skullcap, honeysuckle, etc.
2.Water dilution and swelling: If patients with acute renal failure have edema symptoms, traditional Chinese medicine should choose drugs with water dilution and swelling effects, such as Poria cocos, Ze Yuan, Atractylodes macrocephalus, etc.
3.Nourishing yin and moistening dryness: Formaldehyde damages the kidneys, resulting in kidney yin deficiency, and traditional Chinese medicine should choose drugs with the effect of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, such as rehmannia root, wheat winter, polygonatum and so on.
4.Promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis: patients with acute renal failure have blood circulation disorders, and traditional Chinese medicine should choose drugs with the effect of blood circulation and blood stasis, such as salvia, Chuanxiong, peach kernel, etc.
5.Fuzheng and solidify: Traditional Chinese medicine should also pay attention to strengthening and strengthening the foundation, improve the patient's immunity, and choose drugs with the effect of strengthening and strengthening the foundation, such as ginseng, astragalus, angelica, etc.
Traditional Chinese Medicine**Acute kidney failure can be done using a variety of methods such as Chinese herbal decoction, Chinese patent medicine, acupuncture, and massage. In addition, TCM also pays attention to dietary conditioning, and recommends that patients eat more light and easily digestible foods, such as lean meats, vegetables, fruits, etc., and eat less greasy and spicy foods.
In conclusion, acute kidney failure is a serious condition that requires prompt diagnosis and ** is crucial. On the basis of Western medicine, combined with traditional Chinese medicine, it is expected to improve the rate and quality of life of patients. I hope that everyone will strengthen their awareness of prevention, pay attention to food safety, and protect their health.
