We say that chronic kidney disease cannot be eradicated precisely because it has a high recurrence rate. Recurrence is a lingering shadow in the hearts of patients with kidney disease.
Many patients have questions about why kidney disease is so easy to recur? There are several reasons for this:
Self cause: immune disorder
The immune function of kidney disease patients is disrupted, so it is impossible to clear toxins in the body normally. In this way, a large amount of toxins are deposited in the kidneys for a long time, and any wind or grass movement can lead to a recurrence of the disease.
In addition, hormones and immunosuppressants can also inhibit one's own immune function
The most common 'wind blowing grass moving' is infection. Because kidney disease patients may experience urinary protein leakage and have to limit protein intake, they often experience protein malnutrition. We know that balanced nutrition can have good resistance, and malnutrition can lead to immune dysfunction, inability to maintain normal immune defense function, and increasing the chance of infection.
Common infection sites include respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, and primary peritonitis.
Drug reason: drug reduction and withdrawal
The normal human body secretes adrenal cortical hormones (such as prednisone). Patients with nephritis and kidney syndrome are mostly sensitive to hormones, and taking hormones can also easily achieve results. But taking hormones for a long time can make the body mistakenly think that it no longer needs to secrete hormones, so the adrenal gland stops secreting hormones.
When stopping medication, the body may experience a recurrence of kidney disease due to a lack of hormones.
In addition, when hormone levels decrease too quickly, once the hormone levels in the body cannot be maintained, nephritis cannot be suppressed.
Life reasons: improper recuperation
Finally, it is the improper daily maintenance of kidney disease patients:
Being too careful: if you don't leave the front door, if you don't step on the second door, your body will get worse and worse without exercise.
Excessive negligence: Failure to avoid exposure to wind and cold, excessive fatigue, can lead to lower immunity and easy recurrence.
Therefore, for patients with kidney disease, daily physical examinations should be conducted on the skin, throat, gallbladder, and appendix to avoid missing infected areas, leading to worsening and recurrence of the condition.
It is important to pay attention to dynamically monitoring the patient's immune function in daily life, such as dynamically checking the patient's lymphocyte subpopulations and immunoglobulins, and making early predictions to prevent recurrence.
