1. No energy. When the kidney function is poor, it is difficult to excrete a lot of waste from the urine, and there will be a feeling of lethargy, fatigue, fatigue, etc. If the kidney is sick, nutrients such as protein will leak out of the kidney and be discharged out of the body through urine, which will also show signs of weakness. Some patients will think that they are too tired, or for other reasons, and ignore the kidney problem.
2. Don't want to eat. Not wanting to eat, anorexia, and even nausea and vomiting are also common symptoms of kidney disease. Some patients always go to the Department of Gastroenterology or Hepatology first to see if they have stomach or liver disease. When they see no stomach or liver disease, they forget to see the nephrologist, which delays the illness.
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 kidney is located on both sides of the lumbar spine, so when the kidney is sick, it will feel low back pain.
5. More urine and less urine. Healthy people urinate about 4-6 times a day, and their urine volume is about 800-2000 ml. If the number of urination and urine volume are too much or too little, we should pay attention.
6. Edema. If you drink too much water, or sleep too long, or are too fat, the eyelid, face, leg and other parts can have slight edema, or transient edema. If not, you should suspect whether there is a kidney problem.
7. Urine protein and urine occult blood. There is protein or occult blood in the urine, which is an important indication of kidney disease. It can be determined by checking the urine routine. But sometimes doctors who are not nephrologists will ignore this. It is recommended to consult with nephrologists.
8. Anemia. Patients with anemia often go to the hematology department to see anemia. In fact, besides the function of excreting waste, the kidney also has endocrine function and secretes hematopoietic hormones. When the kidney function is damaged, anemia can also be caused.
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. High blood pressure. 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 hypertension. If the blood pressure is high, be careful whether you have kidney disease.
11. Gout, hyperuricemia. Gout and hyperuricemia are caused by excessive uric acid in the blood. For people with high uric acid in the blood, uric acid will deposit in the kidney, causing damage to the renal function.
12. Urinary tract infection. People who often have urinary tract infection may have renal insufficiency for a long time. I have contacted many patients with urinary tract infection. Because early treatment is not timely and complete, and I do not understand that it will lead to poor renal function, the best treatment opportunity has been missed when it is found.
