Four reasons cause uremia

The harm of uremia to people can be said to be no less than that of some cancers, especially for patients in the late stage of uremia. Not only is the cost of treatment very high, but the patients themselves are also in great pain. They are likely to give up treatment and become depressed. Their families will also feel powerless. Therefore, for uremia, it is best to do a good job of prevention. So, what causes uremia? If you can understand the causes of uremia, it will be easier to prevent. Let’s take a look at the causes of uremia.

What causes uremia?

When hearing about uremia, many people will sigh and wonder how they could be so careless to get this disease, because this disease is very difficult to treat, and people suffering from this disease will be very painful and have to undergo dialysis. So, how is uremia caused? Obviously, it is also slowly caused by certain diseases, as follows:

1. Urinary tract infection

It is caused by a urinary tract infection or UTI. According to statistics, the incidence rate of urinary incontinence in my country is 0.23% for males and 2.37% for females.

2. Interstitial Nephritis

Interstitial nephritis ranks second in the incidence of uremia. Tubular atrophy, fibrosis and scarring lead to reduced glomerular blood supply and decreased renal function. Nephropathy caused by analgesics, gouty nephropathy, and nephropathy caused by antibiotics and other nephrotoxic drugs are all interstitial nephritis.

3. Polycystic kidney disease

Polycystic kidney disease is a congenital disease that can occur in several patients in the same family. Pathological examination revealed developmentally defective water-filled cysts. Compression of normal renal tissue. The disease can remain hidden for a long time and is not diagnosed as polycystic kidney disease until the kidneys become enlarged and renal dysfunction becomes obvious after the age of 40 to 50.

4. Diabetes

30% of diabetic patients will directly develop uremic diabetes. Recent statistics show that among the Chinese population, there are 43.2 million people with diabetes and 50.64 million people with impaired glucose tolerance, with the total number of the two being 93.84 million. That is to say, because of diabetes alone, there are about 13 million patients with uremia and more than 15 million people at high risk of uremia in my country.

How should people with uremia eat?

We know that patients with uremia have many restrictions in their diet because they have severe kidney damage and the food they eat must be metabolized by the kidneys. Certain foods will produce a large amount of metabolic waste, increasing the metabolic burden on the kidneys. However, did you know that the occurrence of uremia is also closely related to diet? Here, let’s talk about the relationship between uremia and diet.

Clinically, it has been proven that the gradual westernization of diet and excessive intake of high-fat, high-calorie, and high-cholesterol foods will eventually lead to a variety of kidney diseases and uremia. Common causes of uremia include chronic nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, hypertension, diabetes, etc. More and more people are leading unhealthy lifestyles, their diets are gradually westernized, they consume too much high-fat, high-calorie, high-cholesterol food, they are in a high-stress, fast-paced working environment for a long time, they often commute to work by car and lack of exercise, all of which can cause "rich diseases" such as high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. If hypertension and diabetes are not properly controlled for a long time, it will cause kidney damage and eventually lead to uremia.

In recent years, advertisements for kidney-tonifying drugs have been everywhere, both in newspapers and on television, leaving people with the impression that kidney deficiency among Chinese men has reached an unmanageable level and that kidney-tonifying drugs need to be vigorously promoted; that kidney deficiency means poor sexual function and that taking kidney-tonifying drugs can replenish the kidneys and strengthen sexual function. Some ingredients in these kidney-tonifying medicines may harm kidney health and eventually lead to renal failure and uremia!

In addition, patients with kidney problems should pay attention to a light diet with less salt and fat, and at the same time, consume less high-protein foods such as beans; especially some middle-aged and elderly patients should not sit at the table for a long time playing mahjong.

Uremia can occur in people of any age. Once you experience unexplained back pain, weak legs, and changes in urine, such as foam in the urine, red urine, facial swelling after getting up in the morning, you should immediately go to the nephrology department of the hospital for a check-up to determine whether there is a problem with your kidney function.

Therefore, uremia and diet are closely related. Patients with uremia should pay attention to dietary restrictions, while healthy people should pay attention to preventing renal failure and uremia caused by improper diet.

It can be seen that there are many causes of uremia. In daily life, we must take precautions and protect our kidneys and other organs of the body to avoid lesions in other organs of the body caused by one disease, thereby causing serious difficult and complicated diseases. People with uremia must pay attention to diet and nutrition and maintain a happy mood.
