Five possible reasons why kidney deficiency may turn into uremia. What should you do if you have kidney deficiency?

Many people in our lives suffer from kidney deficiency to some extent. Chinese medicine in ancient times had certain insights into kidney deficiency and a wide variety of methods for treating kidney deficiency. So will kidney deficiency cause uremia?

Five possible causes of kidney deficiency turning into uremia

1. Patients with kidney deficiency should be aware that long-term kidney deficiency may cause chronic nephritis, which may then develop into renal failure, which can easily lead to death;

2. Long-term kidney deficiency can cause a variety of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and eventually develop into heart failure - a disease with a very high clinical mortality rate; at the same time, due to the close relationship between the kidneys and the liver, spleen, lungs, stomach, marrow, brain, teeth, etc., long-term kidney deficiency may also cause or aggravate a variety of diseases, such as chronic bronchitis, enteritis, hypertension, regenerative anemia, uremia, etc.

3. The symptoms of kidney yin deficiency are "heat", mainly including low back pain, dryness, night sweats, spontaneous sweating, dizziness, tinnitus, etc. The symptoms of kidney yang deficiency are low back pain, cold limbs, fear of cold, and even edema, which means they manifest as "cold" symptoms.

4. Kidney deficiency is the pathological basis of kidney disease. When kidney deficiency occurs, the immune ability of the kidney is reduced, and the kidney's microcirculation system will also be blocked, that is, the kidney network will become blocked.

5. Kidney deficiency can lead to the occurrence of many diseases, such as prostate, urinary and reproductive system diseases in men; amenorrhea, infertility, premature aging and hair loss caused by endocrine and metabolic disorders in women.

Causes of kidney deficiency

1. Don’t like to drink water

Many people are not very interested in drinking water, and don’t even think it is important, but in fact this can easily cause serious harm to the body.

The metabolic waste in our body is mainly processed by the liver and kidneys. The kidneys, which account for only 1% of the human body weight, have to receive 1/4 of the body's cardiac output. 1-2 liters of blood pass through the kidneys every minute. Therefore, the kidneys receive far more waste than other internal organs.

The most important function of the kidneys is to regulate the balance of water and electrolytes in the body, metabolize waste products produced by physiological activities, and excrete them in the urine. However, when performing these functions, they need sufficient water to assist them.

Solution: Drink more water. Developing the habit of drinking more water can dilute urine and allow it to be excreted quickly. It can not only prevent stones, but also help to dilute urine when you consume too much salt, thereby protecting your kidneys.

2. Eating too much salt

Salt is the main culprit that increases the burden on the kidneys. 95% of the salt in our diet is metabolized by the kidneys. If we consume too much, the burden on the kidneys will be increased. In addition, the sodium in the salt makes it difficult for the body to excrete water, which further increases the burden on the kidneys and leads to decreased kidney function.

Solution: Control your salt intake

The scientific daily salt intake should be controlled within 6 grams, of which 3 grams can be obtained directly from daily food. Therefore, the seasoning of food should be kept within 3-5 grams. It is worth noting that instant noodles contain a lot of salt, so people who eat them frequently are advised to reduce the amount they consume.

3. Improper consumption of fruits and vegetables

It is generally believed that eating more fruits and vegetables is good for health. However, for people with poor kidney function, fruits and vegetables, which are usually considered to help lower blood pressure naturally, contain high potassium components. Long-term consumption may damage their kidney function. In fact, for people with poor kidney function, potassium can increase the workload of the kidneys and cause great harm to the kidneys.

Solution: Eat fruits and vegetables in moderation

If a person's kidney function is not very good, he or she should pay attention to eating appropriate amounts of fruits and vegetables to avoid affecting the kidneys. Do not drink too concentrated fruit and vegetable juices, hot pot soup, or vegetable soup; it is better to eat light food.
