In fact, some Chinese herbal medicines are poisonous, such as scorpion, centipede and tripterygium wilfordii. Long-term use or improper application will cause damage to liver and kidney function. In recent years, "Chinese herbal medicine nephropathy" and "aristolochic acid nephropathy" have attracted more and more attention in the medical field. There have been clinical reports of renal interstitial nephritis and chronic renal failure caused by long-term use of Longdan Xiegan Pill, Bazheng Granule or traditional Chinese medicine decoction. In short, because of the long course of nephropathy and special medication, patients with nephropathy should not take medication at will. They must consult experts to know the efficacy/adverse reaction ratio of these drugs to decide whether to choose such drugs. In the process of drug use, it is necessary to contact and consult with doctors frequently, so as to find adverse reactions at an early stage and understand how to minimize adverse reactions and protect renal function.
When people are suffering from various diseases, they want to find a drug to relieve their pain, but they often ignore that drugs can also cause harm to their bodies.
Most drugs will eventually be excreted through the kidneys (and many drugs will be metabolized through the liver, causing damage to the liver). Therefore, taking a large amount of a drug for a short time or a long time will inevitably cause certain damage to the kidney. When this kind of damage lasts for a period of time and the kidney cannot be repaired, it will affect the normal function of the kidney.
Therefore, before taking the medicine, you must read the instructions carefully, especially the use of antibiotics and painkillers, and be more cautious. Therefore, when you need to take some drugs harmful to renal function for a long time, you must go to the hospital to check your renal function regularly, and you must not take it lightly.
