Many kidney friends often use proteinuria to measure the condition of the disease, and push the "status" of proteinuria in the treatment of kidney disease to a very high position. It is true that urine protein is one of the important indicators for the diagnosis of kidney disease. Late proteinuria is an independent risk factor that reflects kidney function and affects the development of kidney function. Therefore, it often attracts much attention during the treatment process.

Keeping proteinuria stable for a long time and controlling it at a low level (below 0.5g is best) is more beneficial to delaying renal function and can greatly reduce the risk of renal failure, but it does not mean that uremia will not occur, so it cannot Take it lightly.

In addition to proteinuria, kidney disease is also affected by multiple factors. Treatment of kidney disease should be more comprehensive, comprehensively assess the impact of all aspects, and provide targeted treatment to maintain long-term stability of the condition. Kidney disease treatment is a "protracted battle." Kidney friends who pay more attention to details will have a more stable condition.

During the treatment of kidney disease, these four issues should also be paid attention to early:

Develop good medication habits and take medications carefully

Correct implementation of the treatment plan and medication strictly according to the doctor's instructions are the basis for stable disease. Use good medicine and use the right medicine. Kidney disease is half cured. Many kidney friends conclude that kidney disease treatment is a process of constantly adjusting medication and overcoming drug side effects. It is true that although the condition has stabilized, to reduce the risk of renal failure, most kidney patients still need to take lifelong medications, including hormone drugs , antihypertensive drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs and many other types of drugs.

For example, patients with nephrotic syndrome are often accompanied by large amounts of proteinuria. Since the glomeruli are damaged and cannot be repaired, the proteinuria is difficult to completely return to normal. Try to control protein leakage to a low level, and you need to take long-term hormones, and immunosuppressants are used to inhibit inflammation in the kidneys and reduce damage to kidney function;

There are also some kidney friends who develop hypertension after renal insufficiency , or those who have high blood pressure and diabetes themselves, All require lifelong medication to control the damage to the kidneys caused by elevated blood pressure and blood sugar.

Follow the correct dietary principles to assist in the treatment of

When you usually have a cold or fever, the doctor will often advise you to drink more water and avoid eating spicy and other irritating foods. This is still the case for kidney disease. According to the symptoms that occur during the onset of the disease, there are also corresponding dietary principles to assist in the treatment of kidney disease. The typical one is the "five low and one high" dietary principle, in which a low-salt, high-quality, low-protein, low-fat, and high-fiber diet is mostly targeted at patients with hypertension, edema, and proteinuria. It is also a diet that should be adhered to throughout the entire kidney disease treatment process. idea. A low-phosphorus and low-potassium diet is mainly required for patients with hyperkalemia and calcium and phosphorus metabolism disorders in the end stage of renal disease.

Generally, there are no dietary restrictions for patients with stage 1 or 2 kidney disease. Patients with stage 3 kidney disease have developed renal insufficiency, with renal metabolism and filtration functions significantly reduced, and symptoms such as proteinuria and hypertension are becoming increasingly prominent. Therefore, dietary taboos and auxiliary treatment are necessary. , to slow down the progression of kidney function and reduce the risk of kidney failure.

Maintain a good attitude and don’t be too anxious

Some kidney patients cannot eat or sleep when they think that they may suffer from kidney failure or even uremia, and they feel very irritable. This is understandable, but kidney disease should be viewed rationally. First of all, although the development of kidney disease to uremia is inevitable, it does not happen overnight. The current incidence of uremia in patients with kidney disease is only 1%, among which diabetes kidney accounts for the highest proportion, followed by chronic nephritis, hypertensive nephropathy . Secondly, it is a matter of time. The initial stage of the disease can be maintained by active treatment in stages 1 and 2. Renal failure is not that easy. Patients with renal insufficiency can stabilize their condition by stabilizing proteinuria and reducing toxin levels. Patients in the stage of renal failure can indeed survive. Uremia Recently, the key is to focus on preventing cardiovascular disease complications. A positive attitude is very beneficial to recovery during treatment or daily practice. Don't be depressed anymore.

Regular review is essential, don’t be lazy anymore.

The review items are mainly key indicators that affect kidney disease, including 24-hour urine protein quantification which reflects the level of urinary protein, microalbuminuria , and those which reflect toxin levels such as serum creatinine , uric acid, urea nitrogen , red blood cells of blood status, glomerular filtration rate of metabolic function, memory creatinine clearance rate, etc., renal B-ultrasound that reflects the size of the kidneys. Urine routine , Routine blood test are usually checked once every three months, and others should be checked at least once a year.
