Just entering spring, with a sudden warmth and a return to cold, many people have caught a cold at this time. However, no one could have imagined that an inconspicuous cold could trigger nephritis? It really makes people feel incredible; When there are clinical symptoms of kidney disease in the body, one cannot seek medical attention in a timely manner, and self considers it to be kidney deficiency, taking supplements at will, delaying the timing of treatment; The living standards have improved, and high protein foods such as eggs, meat, and soy products are not in moderation, adding a heavy burden to the kidneys.
A small cold triggers acute nephritis
Mr. Li is a middle management. He is busy at work and has a lot of social intercourse. At the end of last year, he was tired of dealing with year-end plans and customer expansion, but as a result, he caught a bad cold and was found to have acute nephritis upon examination. In the subsequent company physical examination, the report also reported that Mr. Li's urine and kidney function tests were abnormal. It was recommended to go to the hospital for further diagnosis, which caused Mr. Li to panic. Now, he regrets it very much. He only knows how to be busy with work and doesn't pay attention to his own body, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen to the point where he is today
Acute nephritis caused by a cold is not uncommon in clinical practice and mainly occurs in children and adolescents. This is because bacteria or viruses enter the body and stimulate the immune system to form immune complexes, which can reach and deposit in the kidneys with blood circulation, inducing inflammatory reactions and causing nephritis. Reducing colds is the key to preventing the occurrence of acute nephritis. At present, it is the time of seasonal alternation, and sudden warming and returning to cold are the most likely to cause colds. Not only should we enhance our physical fitness and increase our body's ability to prevent diseases, but we should also pay attention to daily temperature changes and keep warm. If you catch a cold, don't think it's a small matter, procrastinate without seeing a doctor, ignore treatment, but you can't advocate for indiscriminate use of antibiotics on your own. Improper use of antibiotics after catching a cold can also lead to kidney damage.
Kidney disease may not necessarily be "kidney deficiency" or "kidney deficiency"
Many people think of kidney deficiency when they have kidney disease, and even think that there is a problem with their waist. But in fact, this idea is not entirely correct. In clinical practice, some patients are diagnosed with kidney disease and simply equate it with "kidney deficiency" or "kidney deficiency". As a result, they develop kidney disease, thinking it is kidney deficiency and taking tonics indiscriminately. Some patients may experience kidney deficiency but do not take it seriously.
Generally speaking, kidney disease is a Western medicine term commonly known as "waist disease". There are many kinds of nephrosis with different clinical manifestations, which can be manifested as one or more symptoms such as oliguria, edema, foam urine (proteinuria), hematuria, hypertension, frequent urination, urgency and pain. Many patients also have kidney disease, but there is no obvious discomfort until the condition becomes severe in the later stage. Kidney deficiency "or" kidney deficiency "is a traditional Chinese medicine concept. For example, some people may experience body edema, which may not necessarily be due to kidney disease. It can be caused by heart disease or liver disease edema, or edema caused by other reasons. Kidney disease cannot be simply equated with "kidney deficiency" or "kidney deficiency". If you have kidney disease, do not think it is "kidney deficiency" and take tonics indiscriminately. When you have symptoms of "kidney deficiency", you should also be vigilant. The simplest method is to have a routine urine test or seek medical attention to rule out kidney disease.
Moderate consumption of soy products will not worsen chronic nephritis
Many citizens have always believed that patients with nephritis should consume a high-quality low protein diet and strictly avoid soy products, resulting in soy products being sent into the "cold palace". Unexpectedly, patients with nephritis who strictly follow this diet, although proteinuria decreases and the rate of renal function decline slows down, the incidence of malnutrition increases, and nutritional status is one of the important factors determining the quality of life and survival rate of patients. Due to restrictions on soy products, patients with nephritis have a narrow menu of choices, which can easily lead to malnutrition, poor appetite, decreased quality of life, worsening anemia, decreased immunity, increased infections, and increased mortality.
In recent years, research has shown that compared with certain animal proteins, soybean protein has not been found to have adverse effects on renal function, but rather has benefits for renal function. But kidney disease patients are not allowed to freely consume soy products. It is currently believed that a diet with an appropriate proportion of animal and plant proteins (animal protein to plant protein ratio of 3:2) is more beneficial for patients with kidney disease. In addition, the total protein intake of kidney disease patients should still be controlled within 0.6 to 1 gram per kilogram of body weight per day. Under this premise, patients with kidney disease can choose soy products in moderation.
Kind reminder:
To prevent, control, and treat kidney disease, it is necessary to start step by step, such as quitting smoking, limiting salt, increasing physical exercise, controlling weight, and carefully choosing medication... without neglecting any key links. Kidney disease is not a big deal. As long as it is treated promptly and actively, and the deterioration of the condition is controlled, it will not have a significant impact on normal life and work.
