The kidney is a part of the urinary system, which is responsible for filtering impurities in the blood, maintaining the balance of body fluids and electrolytes, and finally producing urine that is discharged from the body through subsequent pipes; At the same time, the kidneys also have endocrine functions to regulate blood pressure. Many men do not value the symptoms that appear in their bodies and wait until the condition becomes severe before seeking treatment. Below, the teacher will introduce the 12 symptoms of poor kidney function in men:
1. No energy. When kidney function is poor, many waste products are difficult to excrete from the urine, leading to feelings of lethargy, fatigue, and fatigue. If the kidneys are diseased, nutrients such as protein may leak out of the kidneys and be excreted through urine, leading to signs of fatigue. Some patients may overlook kidney problems due to overwork or other reasons.
2. I don't want to eat. Not wanting to eat, anorexia, and even nausea and vomiting are common symptoms of kidney disease. Some patients always go to the gastroenterology or hepatology department first to see if they have stomach or liver diseases. Once they see no stomach or liver diseases, they forget to see a nephrologist and end up delaying their condition.
3. Urine has foam. There are many reasons for foam in the urine. If the protein leaks from the kidney to the urine, there will be a lot of foam in the urine.
4. Low back pain. The position of the kidneys is on both sides of the spine in the lower back, so when the kidneys are sick, low back pain can be felt.
5. Urine more and urinate less. Healthy people urinate approximately 4-6 times a day, with a urine output of approximately 800-2000 milliliters. If the frequency and volume of urination are too high or too low, it is important to pay attention.
6. Edema. Drinking too much water, sleeping too long, being overweight, etc. can cause slight or transient edema in the eyelids, face, calves, and other areas. If this is not the case, it is necessary to suspect if there is a kidney problem.
7. Urinary protein and occult blood. The presence of protein or occult blood in the urine is an important indicator of kidney disease, which can be determined by checking urine routine. But sometimes non nephrologists may overlook this, and it is recommended to consult a nephrologist.
8. Anemia. Patients with anemia often go to the hematology department to see anemia. In fact, in addition to excreting waste and other functions, the kidneys also have endocrine functions, secreting hematopoietic hormones. When kidney function is damaged, it can also cause anemia.
9. Diabetes. Diabetes can cause kidney disease, its name is diabetes nephropathy, is a complication of diabetes. Diabetes nephropathy is divided into five stages. The treatment effect is good in the early stage. Once it is late, it is difficult to treat and will develop into uremia. Therefore, patients with diabetes must often see the nephrology department.
10. Hypertension. Hypertension can cause hypertensive kidney disease, also known as hypertensive kidney damage, so people with hypertension should pay more attention. Of course, kidney disease can also lead to high blood pressure. If blood pressure is high, be careful if you have kidney disease.
11. Gout, hyperuricemia. Gout and hyperuricemia are caused by too much uric acid in the blood. In people with high blood uric acid, uric acid will deposit in the kidney, causing damage to the renal function.
12. Urinary tract infection. People with frequent urinary tract infections may experience renal dysfunction over time. I have encountered many patients with urinary tract infections, but due to untimely and incomplete early treatment, as well as a lack of understanding, it can lead to poor renal function. As a result, by the time I discovered it, I had already missed the best treatment opportunity.
