"How come you get uremia at a young age?"
This is the first reaction of many people after hearing the story of Xiaomei (pseudonym).
Uremia has always been considered a disease that only middle-aged and elderly people will get. So why do you get uremia at a young age? ①
25 did something wrong after catching a cold at the age of 25 and suffered from uremia!
, chief physician of the Department of Urology, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, posted on Baijiahao in August 2022 that all this starts with the cold. When Xiaomei was on an autumn outing with her friends, due to a sudden heavy rain, Xiaomei, who did not bring an umbrella, had a high fever after getting wet, accompanied by symptoms of cough. Because she was young, Xiaomei just took some cold medicine and antipyretic medicine on her own.

But things are far from as simple as Xiaomei thought. The cough lasted for a week, and not only did it not improve, but it also had a tendency to deteriorate. Unfortunately, Xiaomei had to go to the hospital to go to the respiratory department. The hospital's test results showed that the serum creatinine had reached 795 micromolars per liter (the dialysis index was 707 micromolars per liter), and the doctor immediately asked for hospitalization.
But Xiaomei felt that her current physical condition was in good condition and was not as serious as the doctor said, so she only took the medicine for one month and went home. When a relative heard that Xiaomei had high creatinine, he took some folk remedies that were said to be lowering creatinine for Xiaomei to take.
But Xiaomei's physical condition, when she returned home, had a sharp decline. She first lost her appetite and vomited whatever she ate; she was also drowsy and weak all over; later she even felt numb when she woke up every morning. In desperation, Xiaomei came to the hospital again. At this time, the creatinine had reached 1140 micromolars per liter. Dialysis is the most effective treatment method at present. Since then, Xiaomei embarked on the path of dialysis treatment for , which is three times a week and four hours a day. ①
