1, the habit of hurting the kidney easily
First, excessive use of Chinese herbal medicines that damage the kidneys.
In recent years, it has been found that taking some Chinese herbal medicines (including Chinese patent medicines) will cause renal function damage. Chinese herbal medicines that can "damage the kidney" include Tripterygium Wilfordii, Akebia Akebia, Petunia, Xanthium sibiricum, Papaver Shell, Radix Aconiti Kusnezoffii, Junzi, Aristolochia, Ji Fang, etc. Tripterygium wilfordii has the greatest damage to the kidney, followed by Akebia manshuriensis and Akebia manshuriensis, which contains aristolochic acid, a nephrotoxic substance.
Second, the abuse of analgesic western medicine.
Long-term use or large-dose use of some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, such as painkillers, indomethacin, paracetamol, aspirin, etc. It is easy to cause kidney damage. Kidney damage can be manifested as fatigue, dry mouth, loss of appetite, frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, even hematuria and aseptic pyuria, accompanied by joint pain and other symptoms. Some will directly cause nephrotic syndrome such as acute nephritis or glomerular necrosis, and in severe cases will lead to renal failure and death.
Third, frequent urination
Some people hold back their urine for a long time because of their busy work. Urine staying in the bladder for too long is easy to breed bacteria, which will retrograde to the kidney through the ureter, leading to urinary tract infection and pyelonephritis. Once this kind of infection occurs repeatedly, it can cause chronic infection and is not easy to cure. Patients will not only have symptoms such as backache, frequent urination and urgency, but also may develop into acute uremia.
Fourth, drink too little water.
If you don't drink water for a long time, the urine volume will decrease and the concentration of waste and toxins carried in the urine will increase. Kidney calculi and hydronephrosis, which are common in clinic, are closely related to not drinking water for a long time. Drinking plenty of water can dilute urine, protect kidneys and help to fully discharge waste and toxins.
Five, overeating
Modern people have more opportunities to eat, often eating too much "delicious", and the food they eat will eventually produce waste-uric acid and urea nitrogen. Most of these wastes are excreted through the kidneys, and overeating will undoubtedly increase the burden on the kidneys.
Six, excessive drinking beverages
Excessive intake of soft drinks and sports drinks can indirectly damage the kidneys. The pH value in the human body is 7.2. This kind of beverage is generally strongly acidic, and the pH value in the body changes obviously after drinking. The kidney is the main organ that regulates the pH value of human body. Excessive intake of soft drinks and sports drinks for a long time will burden the kidneys and increase the probability of kidney damage.
Seven, eat bread that is too soft
There is a food additive potassium bromate in bread and cake, which can give gluten strength and elasticity necessary for baking food. It tastes soft, but excessive consumption will damage people's central nervous system, blood and kidneys.
The food additive potassium bromate has been listed as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
Eight, the diet is too salty
Too salty diet, especially some snacks with too high salt content, such as eating potato chips and instant noodles, will make people unconsciously absorb too much salt, which will lead to an increase in blood pressure, and the normal blood flow of the kidneys will not be maintained, thus inducing nephropathy.
Nine, drink strong tea after drinking
Some people think that drinking strong tea after drinking can relieve alcohol, but in fact it is not only ineffective, but also hurts the kidney. Theophylline in tea can quickly affect the kidneys and play a diuretic role. At this time, alcohol will be discharged from the kidney before it can be decomposed again, and a large amount of alcohol will stimulate the kidney, thus damaging renal function.
It is suggested that the kidney is an important organ for excreting urine, wastes and poisons, which can regulate the electrolyte concentration of human body and maintain the acid-base balance. If the renal function is damaged or gradually decreased, the efficiency of renal excretion and regulation will also decrease. When renal function is seriously damaged, uremia will occur, which is life-threatening. Although with the increase of age, renal function gradually declines, but some living habits or behaviors in life often become an important cause of renal function damage. In order to protect the kidneys, we must be alert to the following "kidney damage" factors.
2. Four misunderstandings of kidney deficiency
1. "China people attach great importance to kidney deficiency, but not many people really understand it." Zhang Qicheng, a professor at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and chairman of the Chinese Medicine Culture Branch of the Chinese Medicine Association, told the reporter of Life Times with regret. Kidney deficiency has almost become a box, and any symptoms can be put in it. From a comprehensive analysis, there are four main misunderstandings about kidney deficiency among ordinary people.
2. If sexual function declines, you have to tonify the kidney. This is the potential logic that many people think that the lower body is "no good", and it can also be said to be the most harmful misunderstanding. In the outpatient clinic of Professor Wang Xiaoqin, director of the Department of Nephrology of Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and director of the National Key Specialist of Nephrology of Traditional Chinese Medicine, she often meets patients who make her laugh and cry: "Some patients who should have gone to andrology mistakenly think that they have kidney deficiency and come to our nephrology specialist." In fact, a survey of more than 700 ED patients in Beijing University of Chinese Medicine showed that only 32.9% of them were caused by kidney deficiency. If you buy aphrodisiac at random in the adult goods store on the street, it will aggravate the development of the disease. Professor He Qinghu, vice president of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and director of china sexology association, once treated such a patient. At first, he felt that he couldn't share the same room, frequent urination and unclean urine, and thought it was Yin deficiency ED. After eating aphrodisiac indiscriminately, the condition worsened, and symptoms such as burning urine and urethral pain appeared, which delayed the treatment.
3. If you have some symptoms, you are worried about kidney deficiency. Many people suspect that they have kidney deficiency as soon as they encounter symptoms such as excessive sweating, frequent toilet use, weak waist and knees, and decreased desire. Professor He Qinghu said that in fact, the concept of kidney deficiency mentioned by Chinese medicine is a syndrome with many symptoms including the above, but it does not mean that as long as these symptoms appear, it is kidney deficiency. Judging whether it is kidney deficiency needs to go through "four diagnoses and four parameters" and make a decision after comprehensive analysis. Sweating out, kidney deficiency, weakness of stomach qi, unclear damp heat, and cold pathogen entering the exterior will all lead to it. Moreover, besides kidney deficiency, you may have other more serious symptoms. If you only pay attention to kidney deficiency and ignore others, you may delay your illness.
Kidney deficiency is something wrong with the kidney. "When many patients hear that it is kidney deficiency, they are like enemies, thinking that they have a serious illness and their sexual ability is definitely not good. In fact, this kind of worry is unnecessary. " Wang Xiaoqin said that kidney deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine and kidney disease in western medicine are completely different concepts. Kidney deficiency does not represent nephropathy, nor does it represent ED. It is a stage that almost everyone will inevitably experience, and it is an inevitable phenomenon in the process of human aging.
5. Regardless of kidney yin deficiency and kidney yang deficiency, it must be supplemented. Traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine have completely different systems, and the biggest feature is to emphasize the differences between people. Zhang Qicheng said that kidney deficiency is mainly divided into kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency. Different types have different treatment principles. Most products on the market are aimed at kidney-yang deficiency. For people with kidney yin deficiency, eating it not only has no effect, but also has some side effects or aggravates the condition. Even the classic Liuwei Dihuang Pill is not suitable for everyone.
