The kidney is a very important organ in our body, mainly responsible for filtering impurities from the blood, maintaining the balance of body fluids and electrolytes, and finally producing urine that is discharged through subsequent pipelines; It also has endocrine functions to regulate blood pressure. In the human body, a normal adult has two kidneys, located on both sides and behind the waist. In traditional Chinese medicine, the kidney is one of the five internal organs, including the vital gate. It is the innate essence, containing kidney yang, yuan yang, true yang and kidney yin, yuan yin, and true yin, and is the organ that stores essence.
Kidney disease is often a chronic disease. If kidney disease reaches its later stage, treatment becomes more difficult, so it is very important to detect kidney problems as soon as possible. Below, let's talk about several aspects of abnormal kidney function.
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. Do not 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. foam in urine
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. Excessive and insufficient urination
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.
