Yesterday, I went to the ward and met a patient named Xiao Zhou, and we talked a lot together
She is a kidney disease patient who was diagnosed with nephritis at the hospital 5 years ago due to swelling in her legs. After treatment, she turned negative. After turning negative, she never took any medication or underwent a follow-up examination. In October of this year, due to the cold weather and not adding clothes in advance, I caught a cold and had a fever. When I went to bed at night, I experienced symptoms such as unevenness and difficulty breathing. I went to the hospital to have my creatinine checked at over 700. The local doctor did not provide any other treatment methods, but only allowed dialysis and told Xiao Zhou that if not dialysis, it would endanger his life.
Through communication with her, it was learned that the initial arrangement was to have daily dialysis for 4 consecutive days, and the creatinine level dropped to over 400. However, symptoms such as unevenness and difficulty breathing did not improve
In order to receive better treatment, Xiao Zhou searched for a large amount of information online and saw our hospital. After discussing with her family, she decided to come here and give it a try.
Just arrived here and through color ultrasound examination, it was found that her kidneys were atrophic, with a creatinine of 630 μ Mol/L, uric acid 424 μ Mol/L, urine output only 500ml, blood pressure 160/100mmHg. The attending doctor reviewed her previous cases and gained a brief understanding of her condition.
Xiao Zhou's condition gradually developed into uremia, mainly because she was too careless in her daily life. If she continues to take medication for 1 year after turning negative and undergoes regular follow-up, she will definitely not develop into uremia in just 5 years. In fact, she had symptoms of leg swelling after turning negative, but she didn't pay much attention and only took some diuretic and swelling reducing drugs. Her blood pressure is 160/100mmHg, although high, she does not experience any symptoms in daily life, so she did not care. Nephritis patients must constantly monitor the changes in blood pressure after turning negative, and also go to the hospital for regular follow-up to avoid long-term high blood pressure causing kidney damage, which is not recognized by a few people.
Xiao Zhou has regular dialysis at the local hospital three times a week. Since using our hospital's traditional Chinese medicine treatment, as long as he dialyzes once a week, he can reduce creatinine to 377 μ Mol/L, uric acid 289 μ Mol/L, the current urine volume has increased to 1200ml, and previous symptoms such as uneven sleeping and difficulty breathing have also disappeared.
Subsequently, I asked the attending doctor again, 'Do you still need to continue regular dialysis in the current situation of Xiao Zhou?'?
From the current treatment situation, Xiaozhou no longer needs dialysis after discharge, but he still needs to continue taking traditional Chinese medicine consolidation treatment for a period of time. In daily life, he should also pay attention to rest and not overwork, and also come to the hospital for regular re examination
Xiao Zhou is about to be discharged from the hospital, and I hope she can follow the doctor's advice and never be careless again when she returns home.
In the story, Xiao Zhou developed from nephritis to uremia in just 5 years. Friends who read the article must take a warning and not let such things happen to themselves. Share this article and I believe you can help more people.
