1. Symptoms of poor renal function
In the early stage of kidney disease, pain is often not felt, so it is easy to be ignored and difficult to find. Many patients go to the hospital only when they are very uncomfortable. As a result, they find that kidney disease is very serious and even life-threatening, and they need hemodialysis immediately. Therefore, the article on the American Health website reminds us that we must be very vigilant when the following 1 common signals appear.
lack of energy
when the renal function is poor, it is difficult for many wastes to be excreted from the urine, and there will be feelings of listlessness, fatigue and fatigue. Wang Baokui, director of the Department of Nephrology, Oriental Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, pointed out that if the kidney is sick, protein and other nutrients leak from the kidney and are excreted through urine, there will be no strength. Some patients will think that they are overworked, or for other reasons, and ignore kidney problems.
patients with poor appetite
will have a variety of digestive symptoms, especially because of gastrointestinal edema, and often have symptoms of digestive dysfunction such as not thinking about diet and abdominal distension.
nausea and vomiting
when diabetic patients have renal failure, blood urea nitrogen increases, and bacteria in the intestine will decompose urea into ammonia, which can stimulate gastrointestinal mucosa and cause nausea and vomiting. In addition, at this time, the kidney's function of urine concentration decreases, which will increase the patient's nocturia, while the human body's water will be lost at night and the blood will be concentrated, and the blood urea nitrogen level will increase relatively in the morning. Therefore, it is easy to get sick and vomit in the morning.
there is foam in urine
there are many reasons for foam in urine, and kidney disease can also cause this phenomenon. If protein leaks from the kidney into the urine, the urine will foam a lot.
Abnormal urine output
Healthy people urinate 4-6 times a day, and the urine output is about 8-2ml. If the urination frequency and urine output are too much or too little, you should pay attention.
urinary protein and occult blood
protein or occult blood in urine is an important sign of kidney disease, which can be detected by urine routine. But sometimes doctors who are not specialized in nephrology will ignore this point, and it is suggested that it is best to consult a nephrologist.
Anemia
Anemia patients often go to the hematology department for treatment. In fact, the kidney not only has the function of excreting waste, but also secretes hematopoietic hormone, which is also a major signal of renal function damage.
Hypertension
Hypertension can cause hypertensive nephropathy, also called hypertensive renal damage, so people with hypertension should pay more attention. Of course, kidney disease can also cause high blood pressure.
gout
hyperuricemia. Gout and hyperuricemia are all caused by excessive uric acid in the blood. People with high blood uric acid will deposit uric acid in the kidney, which will damage renal function.
urinary tract infection
people who have frequent urinary tract infections for a long time may cause renal insufficiency.
2. How to recuperate the renal function
1. The diet is mostly light: eat more fresh vegetables, such as green vegetables, celery, spinach, cucumbers and tomatoes; Eat more fresh fruits, such as apples, pears, bananas, grapes and oranges.
2. Eat more foods rich in high-quality protein: protein is one of the most important nutrients to maintain human life activities. Once patients with poor liver function get better, they should gradually increase their intake of protein, and choose high-quality protein and foods with high nutritional value to facilitate the regeneration and repair of liver cells. Such foods include milk, eggs, fish, lean meat, bean products, etc. Adults should take 1-1.5g/kg body weight of protein every day.
3. Timely supplement of trace elements: Patients with poor liver function often lack trace elements such as zinc, manganese and selenium, and some patients with poor liver function also lack minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and iron. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement foods containing trace elements and minerals, such as seaweed, oysters, mushrooms, sesame, jujube, wolfberry and so on.

4. Chinese medicines can be used to regulate. You can choose clam soup, lemon, chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle and licorice, and then add black sugar (black sugar) to drink. In addition, Angelica sinensis, Radix Rehmanniae, Scutellariae Radix, Fructus Gardeniae, Folium Bambusae, antelope wine and Cortex Moutan also have detoxification effects. Lycium barbarum is also good for the liver.
5. Pay attention to maintaining optimism. Patients with poor liver function should pay attention to maintaining optimism. Chinese medicine believes that the seven emotions of "happiness, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and surprise" are different emotional reactions of the human body to external objective things. As long as they are adjusted normally, they will not lead to diseases. If there is strong or long-term seven-emotion stimulation, it will disturb the normal physiological activities of human body, make the function of viscera and qi and blood disorder, and lead to the occurrence or aggravation of diseases.
