After the cold wave hit, the number of patients in the outpatient department of nephrosis in our hospital increased significantly, especially those with nephrotic syndrome and uremia. Why is this?
By understanding that these patients have recurrent kidney disease caused by respiratory tract infections, seasonal changes, or abnormal weather, the patient's immune system decreases, causing colds, causing inflammation in the body, activation of the immune system, and immune damage, leading to the onset or recurrence of kidney disease. Therefore, it is very important for patients with kidney disease to prevent colds in winter.
So how should nephrotic patients prevent colds in their daily lives?
1. Exercise your body, strengthen your physique, and improve your immune capacity;
2. Contribute to environmental and personal hygiene and avoid predisposing factors for illness;
3. Pay attention to adding clothes at any time to prevent cold;
During the period of influenza, medication can be taken to prevent it, and attention should be paid to isolation. Patients should wear masks to avoid activities in public places and prevent cross infection;
Vinegar fumigation can be used indoors to disinfect the air and prevent infection.
In fact, in addition to colds caused by kidney disease attacks or relapses, overwork is also an important cause of kidney disease. When we mention fatigue, the first thing we think about is that it is caused by physical labor, often ignoring mental labor. In fact, excessive mental work can also lead to a decline in the body's immune system. From clinical cases, the incidence of kidney disease caused by excessive brain use is not less than that caused by physical labor, or even better than that caused by physical labor.
Therefore, nephrotic patients should pay special attention in their daily life. When there are some symptoms, such as colds, edema, and foam in the urine, they must go to the hospital for inspection and treatment in time.
