In fact, it is not this disease that causes the "infection" of kidney disease, but people in the same region who have similar bad habits.
For example, poor dietary habits such as frequent consumption of large amounts of meat, soups, and fried spicy foods can lead to kidney damage over time;
Or a certain area generally sleeps late, and staying up late for a long time can also cause damage to the kidneys;
Another issue is that patients like to smoke and drink alcohol, family members smoke second-hand cigarettes for a long time, and friends often stay at the table without getting drunk, which can also lead to kidney disease "clustering".
So, for the health of themselves, family, and friends, kidney disease patients must urge themselves and advise their families to break the bad habit of damaging their kidneys.
If you have kidney disease patients at home, please also have regular physical examinations and monitor kidney function.
Here are four routine tests that can help us detect kidney disease early:
Blood pressure measurement
Kidney disease is closely related to hypertension and often goes hand in hand. Hypertension itself can cause kidney damage, and kidney disease can also cause an increase in blood pressure.
Therefore, regularly measuring blood pressure and recording changes in index are good monitoring habits.
Hematuria routine
Blood and urine abnormalities are the main manifestations of kidney disease. In most cases, routine blood and urine tests can detect many problems, which are cheap and convenient.
In addition, there are two more professional inspections:
Renal function examination
Kidney disease mostly occurs in a concealed manner and has no obvious symptoms in the early stages. Therefore, regular routine renal function testing can reflect the existing functional status of the kidneys, providing valuable basis for judging the development and changes of diseases and providing correct treatment.
Renal ultrasound examination
It is a very intuitive examination, through which we can understand the size, shape, presence of stones, hydronephrosis, and cysts of our own kidneys.
In fact, it's not just the family and friends of our patients, but each and every one of us should pay more attention to kidney disease, undergo regular physical examinations, and ensure our health.
