[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report]The kidney is an important organ that helps us metabolize waste. Unlike the liver, which can regenerate, as long as the kidney is damaged, it is irreversible. In this regard, nutritionist Lin Licen posted on the Facebook fan page “Lin Licen’s small world“The article reminded that the three high groups (high blood pressure, high blood lipids and high cholesterol), smokers, obese people and people who take painkillers for a long time should be concerned about kidney problems.
Three high ethnic groups
Lin Licen pointed out that the risk of kidney disease is nearly 4 times higher than that of the average person. If you have high blood pressure, high blood sugar or high blood lipids, the burden on the kidneys will increase, which will lead to increased pressure on the kidneys, which is called “high renal pressure”. The kidneys are full of many tiny blood vessels. For example, the maintenance of blood vessels is closely related to the maintenance of renal function. For example, in patients with high blood pressure, if the control is not good, it will affect the renal function, which can also be said to be high blood pressure. And chronic kidney disease are brothers and sisters and affect each other.
smoker
Smoking not only affects the lungs, but the carcinogens and free radicals produced by smoking will damage the kidney structure, leading to “high renal pressure” and even proteinuria, commonly known as “bubble urine”, so it is better to quit smoking .
overweight, obese
A normal adult (over 19 years old) with a BMI value of 18.5-24 is in the normal range, while a BMI ≥ 24 is overweight; a BMI ≥ 27 is obese, and it is best to evaluate it together with the body fat ratio. Whether overweight or obese, it will increase the metabolic burden on the kidneys. Therefore, it is recommended to actively control body weight and body fat.
long-term painkillers
Chronic pain patients who take “non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers” for a long time may cause kidney damage and even lead to acute kidney injury. It is necessary to regularly track kidney function.
In addition to reminding the above four groups to regularly track their renal function, Lin Licen added that for eligible Chinese people, the National Health Administration provides a free health check program, including “free screening for kidney function”, and you can ask any medical hospital near your home who is uncooperative.
●Age 40-64 years old and have a free renal function screening every 3 years.
●If you are over 65 years old, you will receive a free kidney function screening once a year.
●Aboriginal people over the age of 55; those who have polio and are over the age of 35 have a free kidney function screening once a year.
