Experts said that bad lifestyle, diabetes, hypertension, drug abuse and other factors are important factors that lead to kidney damage. People can detect kidney disease by checking urine routine, blood creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and other methods, and can also detect kidney disease as early as possible through urine microalbumin, glomerular filtration rate and other tests.
Seafood with Beer Beware of Gouty Nephropathy
[Typical story] Mr. Zhang, after eating seafood, drinking beer and staying up late to watch the World Cup for many consecutive days, was admitted to the hospital with nausea, vomiting, oliguria and vague consciousness. After investigation, he was diagnosed as acute renal failure caused by hyperuricemia nephropathy. Why does eating seafood lead to kidney failure?
Expert Explanation: According to Xiang Jinhua, seafood belongs to high protein foods and contains purine nucleotides. Uric acid is the final product of purine metabolism. Disordered purine metabolism or reduced renal excretion of uric acid can lead to an increase in blood uric acid. When the concentration of uric acid salt in the blood is supersaturated, the crystals of uric acid salt can be deposited in the kidney, causing damage to the renal parenchyma, which is called "gouty nephropathy", also known as "hyperuricemic nephropathy".
If seafood and beer are consumed together, it can also cause gout. When consuming a large amount of seafood and drinking beer, it can accelerate the formation of uric acid in the body. Excessive uric acid can deposit in joints or soft tissues, leading to inflammation of joints and soft tissues. When gout attacks, not only are the affected joints red, swollen, hot, and painful, but it can even cause high fever throughout the body.
Therefore, when eating seafood, you can prepare some ginger powder, vinegar and Baijiu, which can eliminate fishy smell, sterilize, disperse cold, and promote blood circulation. If you finish seafood and drink beer, you should drink plenty of plain water or soda to avoid the formation of gouty nephropathy.
Dietary precautions for gouty nephropathy
Gouty nephropathy is caused by hyperuricemia due to excessive production or decreased excretion of blood uric acid, leading to kidney damage. The main manifestations of patients are uric acid stones, small molecule proteinuria, edema, nocturia, hypertension, etc. In addition to active treatment, patients must have a reasonable diet.
