Xiaoli is 26 years old this year and is a relatively shy girl in . However, because of her shyness, she almost killed her. What's going on with ?
It turned out that yesterday, Xiaoli suddenly felt that bladder was very painful, accompanied by a high fever . The parents were about to take her to the hospital for a check-up, but Xiaoli was embarrassed to let others check it out because the pain was relatively private, so she said she would wait and see. As a result, on the second day, Xiaoli's face was pale and she was exhausted. The parents of didn't care about anything else and forced Xiaoli to the hospital.
When Xiaoli was sent to the hospital, she was almost shocked . The doctor quickly gave Xiaoli first aid measures and conducted relevant examinations. After the results came out, it combined with the parents' narrative and initially judged that Xiaoli was a high fever and shock caused by urinary tract infection in , and the right kidney on has been seriously infected and needs to be removed as soon as possible. "Save the car to protect the handsome".
After the parents' consent, the doctor performed an operation on Xiaoli. The process went very smoothly. After the operation, Xiaoli's symptoms also improved significantly. Xiaoli recovered and was discharged from the hospital after a week.
When we were happy that Xiaoli was safe and sound, did we also have some questions? How did Xiaoli get urinary tract infection? Does urinary tract infection require kidney removal? Are there any other treatments? , don’t worry, today I will answer this article one by one.
Causes and treatment of urinary tract infection
urinary tract infection can also be called urinary tract infection . As the name suggests, it is the inflammatory reaction of infection caused by the invasion of bacteria . is a common infection in hospitalized patients.
related institutions have found that urinary tract infection accounts for about 40% of of hospital infections, and can rank first in the hospital infection list, especially for some patients who need to have urinary catheters indwelling.
catheter The longer the stays in the bladder, the more likely it is to damage the urinary system, will weaken the phagocytic effect of neutrophils to eliminate bacteria, reduces the function of urinary bladder erosion of bacteria, and makes bacteria prone to breeding and reproduction of in the urinary system, and eventually lead to urinary system infection.
In addition, set urine bag that is matched with the indwelling catheter can easily lead to urinary tract infection.
collection urine bag is not replaced for a long time and it is easy to cause crystallization and turbidity in the urine inside. may block 's urethra and breed bacteria, so it is easy to cause infection in the urinary system.
However, the urine collection bag cannot be replaced frequently, because is because if the urine collection bag is replaced too frequently every day, it is easy for to destroy the closed drainage system, causing to contaminate where the urine collection bag and the catheter are connected. breeds bacteria , which may cause infection in the urinary system.
In addition to this, gender is also a major influencing factor of urinary tract infection, which is particularly common in women with . survey shows that urinary tract infection is one of the most common complications in women.
More than half of women have had at least one urinary tract infection in their lives, while in 4 women have suffered from recurrent urinary tract infection.
This is because female has a short urethra and , and is close to her private parts and anus. is relatively easy to invade bacteria , causing infection. In addition, the structure of urethra in women is quite special. When the urethra is blocked by , may reflux into the bladder, causing urinary system infection.
When the urinary tract is infected, the bladder may be invaded by bacteria , causing inflammation, and symptoms such as frequent urination , urgency, incomplete urination may occur. In severe cases, it may also be accompanied by fever . If treatment is not performed for a long time, septic shock may occur, life-threatening.
Therefore, it is particularly important for urinary system infection.
Clinically, the treatment for patients with urinary tract infection is mainly antibacterial drug . cefuroxime and levofloxacin are commonly used clinically to treat urinary tract infections. Cefuroxime is the second generation of cephalosporin . It can bind to , a specific receptor on the cell membrane of . inhibits cell activity, prevents from growing and reproducing, and ultimately leads to germ apoptosis.
and levofloxacin has a strong antibacterial effect , which can produce resistance against most enteric bacteria, such as Escherichia coli , Klebsiella genus, etc. The combination of the two can exert the coordination effect of and give full play to the active ingredients in the drug. significantly improves and improves the comprehensive clinical efficacy.
In addition, for cases like Xiaoli, where kidneys are implicated due to severe urinary system infection, it is necessary to remove the necrotic kidney to protect the patient's life. However, what impact will have on the body after one kidney is removed? let's continue to read.
What will happen to people who lack one kidney?
I believe everyone has heard of the incident of selling kidneys in the in the past few years. They think they have two kidneys, and even if one is missing, it doesn’t matter. Is true?
I can tell you very clearly that is not! ! !
Since our body has grown two kidney , it must have its effect. If one is missing, will definitely have a certain impact on the body.
The kidney is an important metabolic organ in our body . It can not only turn the water we consume in the body into urine and excrete it out of the body, but also take away some metabolites and toxins. can also reabsorb some water and nutrients such as protein , glucose , and glucose in through the reabsorption of renal tubules to maintain the electrolyte and acid-base balance in our body .
In normal times, both kidneys in our body are working at the same time, so the pressure they are not under great importance. When we lack a kidney , the working pressure of the remaining kidney will double . It may not show anything in a short period of time, but if this continues for a long time, may cause kidney damage to because of excessive , causing inflammation and increasing the probability of kidney disease.
In addition, the kidney also has the endocrine effect of , which can secrete some hormones such as adrenaline , prostaglandin to maintain the stability of the body's environment. However, if we lack one kidney in our body, its endocrine function will also weaken and reduce , and the secretion of corresponding hormones will also reduce .
For example, adrenaline can dilate blood vessels, increases blood flow, and improves the blood supply state of organs in the body. When the secretion of adrenaline is reduced, the blood supply of to each organ may be reduced , causing the organ vitality to decrease , and the working efficiency is lower, thus causing the body to feel weak .
This shows that if one of the kidneys is removed due to severe infection of the urinary system, it may not only increase the probability of kidney disease, but also affect the normal operation of various organs in the body, thereby affecting the physical condition.
So, in daily life, it is very important to try your best to protect the health of the urinary system. Please continue reading!
How to prevent urinary tract infection?
. Drink more water
I don’t need to say more about the benefits of drinking more water . Although it cannot cure all diseases, it also plays an important role in maintaining normal physiological functions of in our body.
Drinking more water can increase urine , and increases the number of urination times of urination. Each urination can not only excrete metabolic waste and toxins in the body, but also produce to wash on the urethra, which can excrete bacteria attached to the urethra.
But here you should be careful not to drink too much water. Generally, .5L-2L is the best, because drinking too much may cause the kidneys to be unable to expel excess water from the body in time, and water is retained in the body, causing water poisoning .
. Wear loose pants
We often see some people wearing tights to highlight their figure in crowded places. They may not know that wearing tights for a long time will not only cause to be breathable , but also cause bacteria to breed and reproduce , and increases the risk of urinary tract infection in . It may also compress to the bladder, causing to damage , causing inflammation and causing urinary system infection.
. Pay attention to hygiene
Urinary syrosis infection has a lot to do with the hygiene of private parts. If does not clean frequently, may breed bacteria , and they are relatively close, so it is easy to cause urinary syrosis infection. Therefore, we should clean our private parts frequently and keep them dry and hygienic to prevent urinary system infection.
is written at the end
In short, although urinary tract infection is very common in our lives and is not a serious disease, if does not treat in time and let it develop, it may involve the kidneys. In severe cases, will also cause the kidneys to be removed .
So in our daily life, we must pay attention to the above-mentioned method of to prevent urinary tract infection , and try to avoid the occurrence of infection.
