What does diuresis mean? It is important to understand

In order to reduce the burden on the kidneys, excrete various toxins and metabolic wastes in the body in time, and maintain good health, diuresis is very important. So how to do diuresis? If you want to do diuresis, you must first understand diuresis. So what does diuresis mean?

A diuretic is a method of affecting the kidney's urine production process, thereby increasing urine output.

The principle of diuresis is that when the osmotic pressure of the blood vessels inside the kidney is lower than that of the blood vessels around the kidney, it is easy to absorb water from the peripheral blood vessels. Using drugs to lower the osmotic pressure inside the kidney increases its absorption of water, increases urine excretion and achieves a diuretic effect.

Otherwise, kidney and bladder diseases can cause difficulty urinating, decreased total daily urine volume, and even symptoms such as urinary obstruction, dripping or no urination. It is mainly seen in urinary retention caused by neurogenic urinary retention, bladder sphincter spasm, urinary tract stones, urinary tract tumors, urinary tract injury, urethral stenosis, prostatic hyperplasia in the elderly, myelitis and other diseases, as well as oliguria and anuria caused by renal insufficiency.

During treatment, the main focus is on promoting urination, supplemented by nourishing the spleen and kidneys.

Nutritional principles: The diet should be light; provide sufficient calories to save protein utilization, thereby reducing the burden on the kidneys; supplement enough vitamins to regulate the acid-base balance in the body. Increase your water intake appropriately and take enough rest.

It can be diagnosed through urine tests and blood tests.
