Why is c-kidney disease always known as the "silent killer"? That's because even if your kidneys are damaged, you may not be conscious. This is the terrible thing about kidney disease. You already have kidney failure and uremia before you know what's going on.
Such events often appear in the news:
"A young woman with chronic anemia who did not have her kidneys examined was found to have advanced uremia.";
"A certain man with indigestion was treated as a stomach disease, but after seeking medical treatment, he became uremic.";
"Children with kidney disease are often found in their late stages, and regular physical examinations are recommended.".....
Having said so many "terrible" examples, everyone may feel that they are "alarmist". "But each of these is because you don't want to believe the truth. My goal is not to scare everyone, but to attract everyone's attention to the kidneys, discover them in a timely manner, and stay away from kidney disease.".
So what behaviors are extremely susceptible to kidney damage? You need to be careful:
1. Stay up late
Yes, the "first place" for kidney injury is staying up late. In addition to the well-known liver injury caused by staying up late, in fact, staying up late can also cause significant damage to the kidneys. A regular and scientific way of living is very important. It is best to go to bed before 23:00 at night.
2. Traditional Chinese medicine and health care products
Now many people are particularly "obsessed" with folk remedies and health products. Many people know that the incidence rate of chronic kidney disease in Taiwan is very high. Some so-called "protein supplement and resistance enhancing" health products are likely to lead to excessive protein intake and burden the kidneys.
3. Excessive drinking
People say that alcohol and lust harm the body, frequent drinking, and excessive sexual activity are all invisible killers of the kidney.
4. Sudden vigorous exercise
There are many office workers who have no time to exercise due to long-term work. If you suddenly exercise vigorously, it may cause excessive damage to your kidneys, and in severe cases, it can also lead to acute renal failure.
5. Seafood and beer
There is a beautiful shrimp restaurant downstairs in our community, which is not exaggerated. It is full every night. The necessities on each table are a large barrel of beer and a large plate of crayfish. Many people like to drink beer with seafood. Seafood products are high protein foods that contain high purine and glycosidic acid components. When mixed with beer, they can produce excessive metabolites such as uric acid and urea nitrogen, which can greatly increase the burden on the kidneys, easily leading to hyperuricemia, even kidney stones, and uremia...
There are many other behaviors of kidney injury, such as drug abuse, overwork, high stress, irritability, frequent drinking of strong tea, eating too salty, and eating high-purine rinsed vegetables.
The kidneys are quite delicate and susceptible to kidney damage. These daily behaviors not only damage the kidneys but also consume our life span. Are you still doing this?
