Recently, many people say that life should enjoy the present, because you don’t know if tomorrow will be better. I personally agree with this sentence. The current environment is not good, so it is also a skill to learn to make fun of hardships.
But as a nephropathic physician, most of the people I usually come into contact with are kidney disease patients. They usually have to quit smoking and drinking, eat a low-protein diet, take various medicines... It can be said that they live an extremely self-disciplined or even ascetic life.
is that worth it?
The answer must be worth it! Life is worth ten thousand. Because when death really approaches you, when you can't sleep well, have a trance in your mind, itchy skin, and can't control your body's twitching, you must have only one simplest wish in your heart, that is, live well.
Today I would like to share with you a medical case that I was deeply impressed by. Unfortunately, the patient finally reached the step of kidney transplantation .
initially met the patient because he had obvious discomfort in his body, so he came to the hospital for examination. It is a very obvious characteristic of kidney disease, with frequent urination at night and edema of . The final examination results showed that urine protein 6.8g, serum creatinine 180+umol/L.
Because the condition is not mild, his medication and auxiliary treatment are being carried out at the same time, and he even used hormones at the beginning.
Fortunately, the patient actively cooperated and had regular work and rest. After two years of hard work, the condition has been stabilized. After that, it has been maintained at about 180umol/L of blood creatinine and within 1g of urine protein.
It was very good to go to this point. It will be no different from a normal person and will be much more relaxed in your body.
But it is precisely because the patient wants to relax and want to enjoy the current mood that he started to stay up late and barbecue and sing K. The young man is doing the trick very well. Less than a year, the condition returned to before liberation.
When he saw him again, he was more haggard than last time and was more serious. His body was scratched by him because of itching. According to him, he fainted twice at home, and his blood creatinine was close to 800, which was already the degree to which was dialyzed .
As a doctor, I tried my best to save him, and I also knew that it was quite rare for him to recover well. But as the person involved, he held the contempt that "it could be cured before, but it would definitely work this time."
There is no luck in his ending is waiting for a kidney transplant. Because he is still young and his family still counts on him, he cannot give up. Perhaps only he himself knows the pain and regret.
There has never been a saying on the road to disease. As a doctor, all I can do is help the patient control the condition and make it develop in a good direction. What determines our lives is our attitude towards life.
For nephrology-related diseases, you can send me a private message or leave a message, and I will answer them one by one.
I wish everyone a good mood.
