What to do if renal function is abnormal

Abnormal renal function is a health condition that many people have. When this happens, a person's kidney function cannot function normally, which can easily lead to the emergence of a variety of problems. Therefore, when abnormal renal function occurs, it is necessary to check it in time and take certain methods to treat it. Below, we will introduce the treatment methods of abnormal renal function in detail!

1. First of all, you need to review

There are many factors that affect renal function tests, including diet, exercise and other factors that can cause distortion of renal function test data. Therefore, if a pregnant mother finds that her kidney function test values ​​are not within the normal range, don't be nervous. The doctor will determine whether you need a re-examination based on your test values. What expectant mothers need to pay attention to is that when conducting follow-up examinations, they must avoid the influence of factors such as diet and exercise.

2. Follow your doctor’s advice

When an expectant mother finds abnormal values ​​during a kidney function test, she should first consult a professional doctor in detail to make an accurate analysis and diagnosis in order to identify the cause and initiate early treatment. In severe cases, your doctor may recommend termination of pregnancy.

3. Do not take medication on your own

You need to be very cautious when taking medications during pregnancy, because some drugs can pass through the placenta into the fetus, thus affecting the growth and development of the fetus. Expectant mothers should be especially careful not to indiscriminately use drugs that may cause kidney damage, such as painkillers. If you need to use medication, you must use it under the guidance of a professional doctor.

4. Adjust your diet

The burden on the kidneys increases during pregnancy, so a scientific and reasonable diet can have an auxiliary therapeutic effect. The diet during pregnancy should be light, avoid greasy food, and eat less food containing high purine (such as animal liver, mushrooms, soy products, etc.). Expectant mothers can eat food containing high-quality protein but not too much. Expectant mothers with edema and high blood pressure should limit their salt intake.

5. Conduct inspections promptly

Urea nitrogen (BUN) - Upper gastrointestinal bleeding, certain severe liver diseases, severe infections, the use of adrenal corticosteroids and excessive protein in the diet can cause a temporary increase in blood urea nitrogen;

Creatinine (CRE) - Increased: seen in diabetes, infection, hypothyroidism, meat consumption, exercise; decreased: seen in acute or chronic renal insufficiency, severe congestive heart failure, hyperthyroidism, anemia, muscular dystrophy;

Uric acid (UA) - excessive drinking, diabetes, gout, nephritis, lead poisoning, hyperparathyroidism, etc. will cause high uric acid levels;

The three renal function tests - urea nitrogen and creatinine represent kidney function. If these two items are elevated, it is more common in patients with chronic nephritis, renal insufficiency, etc. High uric acid levels indicate gout.
