Purpose of World Nephropathy Day

The purpose of setting up World Kidney Disease Day is mainly to arouse the attention of all mankind to chronic kidney disease, and to raise the awareness level of high incidence of CKD (chronic kidney disease), high incidence of cardiovascular diseases, high mortality (three highs), low awareness rate of CKD cell immune activation therapy (chronic kidney disease), low prevention rate of cardiovascular diseases and low awareness rate (three lows).

Early diagnosis and treatment of renal diseases is the key. The main causes of CKD are nephritis, hypertension and diabetes. Early and continuous treatment of these diseases is an effective method to prevent renal failure.

Is your kidney healthy? Please pay attention. The examination is simple: urine routine, B-ultrasound and blood test can confirm the diagnosis. I hope you stay away from kidney disease. I wish you the best of health!

20 12

March 8, 20 12 is the seventh world kidney disease day. The slogan of this year's Kidney Disease Day is "Donate your kidney with love to get a new life" and the theme is "Donate your kidney to prolong your life".

How's your kidney after all your hard work?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the essence of the human body and the essence of the body. Kidney plays an important role in human life activities by excreting metabolic wastes, regulating body fluids, secreting endocrine hormones, maintaining the stability of internal environment and making metabolism normal. However, the kidney itself is delicate, a little careless, or improper care at ordinary times, it will be prone to pathological changes, leading to the occurrence of chronic kidney diseases.

The etiology of chronic kidney is known as "silent killer" because of its low awareness rate, high incidence and high mortality. According to the latest epidemiological survey, the community incidence of chronic kidney disease in China is as high as 1 1% (Beijing, Guangdong, Shanghai and other cities are close to the incidence level of chronic kidney disease in Europe and America), that is to say, every 10 people in China suffer from chronic kidney disease. At present, there are more than10.5 million uremic patients in China, and the trend of10.2 ~10.5 million is increasing year by year.

Remind the majority of patients that the course of nephropathy is often hidden, and there are usually no clinical symptoms in the early stage, so that many patients have entered the stage of renal failure and uremia once they are found, and the severe cases are life-threatening, hence the name "silent killer". Therefore, the general public and friends must insist on regular physical examination in order to effectively eliminate the hidden dangers of kidney diseases and prevent the occurrence of kidney diseases.

Chronic kidney disease bothers my heart. How to solve it?

From the above data, we can easily see that chronic kidney disease is a serious threat to human life and health. Investigation shows that kidney disease has become one of the main diseases that threaten public health all over the world. So "how to effectively treat kidney disease?" It has become a global problem.

At present, hemodialysis and kidney transplantation are widely used in the field of chronic kidney disease treatment.

What is hemodialysis? Hemodialysis is to mix human blood with dialysis, filter the toxins in the blood through the dialysis machine, and then input the blood into the body, thus prolonging the life of patients.

Advantages: it can relieve the symptoms of patients in a short time, achieve the purpose of expelling toxins from the body through "machine kidney", and prolong the life of patients to a certain extent.

Disadvantages: high cost; Dialysis means that the patient has a "machine kidney". With the further deterioration of renal function, the frequency of dialysis will be higher and higher, and the original kidney will gradually shrink and become useless. The patient's life will not come to an end until the glomerular function is completely lost.

What is a kidney transplant? Kidney transplantation is to transplant a healthy kidney to a patient with kidney disease and loss of renal function. Generally speaking, kidney transplantation is the most ideal treatment for chronic renal insufficiency. 1960, Academician Wu Jieping took the lead in carrying out the first human kidney transplant. In 1970s, kidney transplantation was officially launched in China. In 2009, there were about 6,000 cases of kidney transplantation in China every year. The 10 survival rate of renal transplant patients has exceeded 60%, and the longest survival time can reach 32 years.

Advantages: Successful kidney transplantation can save patients from the necessity of dialysis, and it can treat renal failure more effectively than peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis. Successful renal transplantation can provide 10 times more functions than dialysis. Compared with dialysis patients, transplant patients have fewer restrictions and higher quality of life. Most patients feel better and more energetic than during dialysis.

Disadvantages: kidney source is hard to find. It is difficult to find a kidney source that can match the recipient well in blood type and tissue type.

By comparison, it can be seen that kidney transplantation is the most ideal treatment scheme at present. However, according to statistics, less than 1% of uremic patients in China are lucky enough to receive kidney transplantation every year, and most uremic patients lose their lives because they can't find a matching kidney source.

Donate kidney to prolong life! Who else but me?

The current situation of kidney disease treatment is worrying! But we believe that unity is strong. As the song "Dedication of Love" sings, "As long as everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful tomorrow ..."

Wang Chuang called loudly: As a medical profession, we should take the lead in publicizing and popularizing the idea of "organ donation after death" to the whole society and even the whole mankind. If everyone is willing to donate their kidneys for free after death; All family members are willing to donate the kidneys of their loved ones who died in the accident. Then, the lives of more and more uremic patients will be prolonged, and countless desperate families will regain hope of life. ...

Donate your kidney with love and be reborn! Donate his (her) kidney and be reborn.
