Xiao Wu is a college student, from their first year of high school good friends reminded him that his bad breath is a bit serious, but in addition to bad breath he has no other symptoms of discomfort, it has not been taken seriously. After entering the university, Xiao Wu the whole person is very "let loose", high school's three years of desperate study make him very depressed, from entering the university he will not have time to do their own high school time all "pick up". An all-night game playing, smoking, etc. one does not leave.

During the time of the sophomore final exams, Wu accidentally caught a cold, he wanted to rely on his willpower to survive but did not expect the body appeared with obvious symptoms of chest tightness and shortness of breath, a little breathlessness. He had no choice but to go to the hospital for a checkup, which revealed that Xiao Wu's kidneys were atrophied and his condition had progressed to chronic renal insufficiency uremia stage, and Xiao Wu needed dialysis treatment to save his life.

This result is difficult for Xiao Wu to accept, he is just a cold, how does uremia? The doctor said Xiao Wu has had kidney disease for a long time, bad breath is one of the atypical symptoms of kidney disease, coupled with his uncontrolled life led to the step-by-step deterioration of kidney disease.

A dragged out of the uremic syndrome, 100 million kidney friends of the nightmare

The incidence of chronic kidney disease in China is about 10.8%, with about 130 million patients. Among these patients, about 30 million will develop uremic syndrome.

Many people do not know they have kidney disease, and they do not understand kidney disease. The public awareness rate of chronic kidney disease is only 12.5%, and the specificity of early symptoms of kidney disease is not strong, which leads to many kidney disease patients being in the end stage of kidney disease, i.e. uremia, as soon as they are diagnosed.

Zhang Yimin, deputy director of the Department of Nephrology at Guangdong Zhongshan Sixth Hospital, said that nephropathy can be divided into two types of pathology, slow and fast development, most of the microscopic lesions nephropathy, partial membrane nephropathy, and mild thylakoid nephropathy, etc., are slow development, maintaining regular treatment will not develop into uremia. Some focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, peritoneal proliferative nephropathy, and some secondary nephropathies, on the other hand, are fast progressing. If these kidney diseases are also accompanied by diabetes and systemic diseases, the development of uremia may be within a few years or a dozen years.

When the kidney function is abnormal, the body will send some "signals" for help, but these signals are easy to be ignored so the disease continues to develop.

Second, three places smelly, or kidney in distress

1, the mouth appears ammonia odor

Chen Shan, chief physician of urology at Beijing Tongren Hospital, said that abnormal kidney function will lead to the taste of the mouth with a heavy ammonia odor, that is, the smell of urine. These patients have problems with kidney function, resulting in the body's toxins can not be discharged normally through the urinary system, the body's excess urea nitrogen and ammonia will enter the blood, and then will be discharged from the breath, mouth, and nose part of the ammonia smell, smell, and urine smell general.

2, sweat has a urine smell

Under normal circumstances, our sweat is no odor, but when the sweat is mixed with the bacteria on the surface of the skin, it will produce odor, such as foot odor, armpit odor, etc. is so produced. Li Bohua, deputy director of the Department of Dermatology at Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that many patients with kidney disease will have the problem of large areas of smelly skin, which tastes a lot like urine odor.

3, urine stinky smells too much

The urine discharged has a distinct odor, indicating that the kidney's filtration function has problems, a large number of toxins are not filtered and discharged promptly, which will cause odor to accumulate in the body for a long time. People with normal kidney function usually do not have this kind of performance.

It is worth reminding that when the above-mentioned symptoms appear in the body are not necessarily caused by kidney disease, there may also be abnormal urine volume, increased nocturia, edema, renal hypertension, and abnormal urine color in patients with kidney disease. When you find abnormalities, you should seek a medical examination in time, rather than scaring yourself.

In life, some seemingly insignificant small habits may damage your kidney health, see if you are still doing these things.

These things are the "gas pedal" of uremia, remember to stay away from

1, do not pay attention to physical examination

The lack of attention to physical examination is an important cause of uremia, especially for some young people, because of busy work, relying on their youth, and other factors, even if there are some uncomfortable symptoms do not go to the examination in time, so that they dragged themselves into major disease.

2, drug abuse

Healthcare products, drugs, etc. will lead to an increased burden on the kidneys after entering the body, especially some drugs with nephrotoxicity, blind application will bring irreversible damage to the kidneys. The phrase "three medicines are poisonous" must be borne in mind, taking any drugs to need to have professional medical guidance.

3, stay up late for a long time

13% of the genes in the kidneys are related to circadian rhythm, and the blood flow in the kidneys will be reduced at night, and the efficiency will be lower than during the day. Staying up late will lead to disruption of the biological clock of the kidneys and prevent them from getting enough rest, which in turn will lead to functional damage.

4、Smoking without any degree

Smoking will lead to kidney hemodynamics and tissue structure affected, with obvious nephrotoxicity. Long-term smokers are prone to increase urinary protein excretion rate, which in turn damages kidney function and induces a series of kidney diseases.

5, high protein diet

A long-term high-protein diet will lead to an increased burden on the kidneys, further allowing kidney function to decline. Especially some people who want to supplement their waist by eating cashew, advise you to save it!

It takes a long time to develop from kidney disease to uremia, if you can catch the kidney function when it sends a distress signal, you can well avoid developing uremia. If you find abnormal symptoms in your body daily, you must seek medical attention in time.
