With the rapid development of medicine, many diseases are directly treated with drugs. Western medicine can be said to play a crucial role, but with the emergence and frequent use of antibiotics, many drugs can cause irreparable damage to the human liver and kidneys. For example, certain drugs may cause kidney failure, which we cannot predict in advance.
Relevant data shows that 20% to 50% of acute renal failure is caused by drugs, and some are also caused by exposure to harmful substances. Therefore, the use and contact with drugs or toxins that are toxic to the kidneys should be avoided as much as possible. How to prevent the occurrence of acute renal failure?
The prevention of acute renal failure mainly involves actively preventing and treating the primary disease, and avoiding and eliminating triggering factors is the fundamental to prevention. Therefore, the following three points should be noted:
1. Nourishing the five internal organs, living and eating regularly, paying attention to hygiene, and avoiding the invasion of external pathogens, especially in seasons and regions where infectious diseases are prevalent, preventive measures should be strengthened; However, eating spicy and grilled dishes with a rich flavor to avoid the breeding of dampness and heat; Regulate emotions, maintain mental pleasure, ensure smooth flow of qi and blood, and avoid qi stagnation and blood stasis; Strengthen physical exercise and improve the body's defense ability.
2. Prevention of poisoning: According to relevant data, 20% to 50% of acute renal failure is caused by drugs, and some are also caused by exposure to harmful substances. Therefore, the use and contact with drugs or toxins that are toxic to the kidneys should be avoided as much as possible. If taken accidentally or in contact, it should be promptly detected and treated as soon as possible.
3. Timely prevention and treatment: Once the primary cause of acute renal failure occurs, early treatment should be given, attention should be paid to expanding blood volume, correcting water, electrolyte disorders, and acid-base imbalances, and restoring circulatory function. If it is found that this disease is about to occur, early measures should be taken to supplement blood volume, increase cardiac output, restore renal perfusion flow and glomerular filtration rate, eliminate obstruction in renal tubules, prevent infection, and prevent renal parenchymal damage caused by DIC and renal ischemia. At the same time, early application of blood activating and stasis resolving drugs has a positive effect on preventing the occurrence of this disease.
How to treat acute renal failure during the recovery period?
In this period, we will strengthen recuperation and increase the amount of activity according to the patient's condition, choose traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations for treatment, and avoid using drugs that damage the kidney. For those with spleen qi deficiency, use Six Gentlemen's Fragrant Sands; For those with kidney yang deficiency, use Jin Kui Shen Qi Wan; For those with kidney yin deficiency, use Liu Wei Di Huang Wan.
So we should use less antibiotics in our daily lives, as the kidney and liver damage caused by these drugs while treating renal failure is unknown to our patients themselves. If renal failure is caused by drug use, we need to seek medical attention immediately and receive timely treatment.
