World kidney day data and effective methods to prevent renal failure.

World kidney day and this year's theme.

World kidney day was jointly proposed by the International Society of Nephrology and the International Federation of Kidney Funds in XX, and was established on the second Thursday of March every year.

In XX, in view of the rising incidence of chronic kidney disease in the world and the general lack of public knowledge about its prevention and treatment, the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations (IFKF) jointly proposed that the second Thursday of March of each year be designated as worldkidneyday from XX, hoping to take this opportunity to raise people's concern about kidney protection and chronic kidney disease.

purpose

1, to improve people's understanding of the high incidence and mortality of chronic kidney disease and its related cardiovascular diseases;

2. Let people realize that the early detection and prevention of chronic kidney disease is an urgent problem in the world.

background

Since the 20th century, chronic kidney disease has become one of the public enemies endangering people's health all over the world. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease is high, the incidence of cardiovascular disease is high, and the mortality rate is high. Three highs? And the low awareness rate, low prevention rate and low awareness rate of cardiovascular diseases? Three lows? Features.

On February 20th, XX, the International Society of Nephrology announced that according to the estimation of isn and ifkf, patients with chronic kidney disease account for one tenth of the world population, that is, more than 500 million people, most of whom have not been diagnosed and treated in time. Undetected consequences of patients with chronic kidney disease: first, renal failure caused by renal failure requires dialysis or transplantation, and more importantly, premature death due to cardiovascular disease before entering renal failure.

According to statistics, the number of dialysis patients with chronic renal failure in the world is increasing: 426,000 in 1990, and 0.65 million in XX, and it is expected to reach more than 2 million in XX. However, developing countries and underdeveloped countries, which account for 80% of the global population, account for 10% of dialysis patients, and most patients with end-stage renal failure in these countries have no access to dialysis treatment.

In China, according to the incomplete investigation in two big cities, there are about 4000 new hemodialysis patients every year. About two-thirds of the patients with kidney disease have exceeded 176.8 umol/L when they are first diagnosed, and a quarter of them have exceeded 530.4 umol/L. ..

At the same time, although dialysis and transplantation can save patients' lives and improve their quality of life, patients, their families and even society will bear huge medical expenses regardless of dialysis or kidney transplantation. The annual cost of dialysis patients in the United States is $65,000, and kidney transplantation is $40,000.

In China (excluding Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province), due to the low price of technical services, the dialysis cost of using the same product is only one tenth of that of developed countries, and the annual medical expenses after transplantation are about tens of thousands of yuan; Even so, there are still many uremic patients who can't be dialyzed in time, and even fewer patients can receive kidney transplantation. Therefore, there are many patients with chronic kidney disease in China. Early diagnosis and active prevention? It means a lot.

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.

1, drink plenty of water and urinate frequently. Many people are not interested in drinking water, or even think it is not important, but in fact it is easy to cause physical harm. Metabolic waste in the body is mainly treated by the kidney and liver. Therefore, developing the habit of drinking more water can dilute urine, not only can quickly discharge urine toxins and metabolites, but also can prevent urinary calculi and urinary tract infections.

2, drink less, don't smoke a small amount of red wine has certain benefits to the body, such as softening blood vessels and preventing ultraviolet rays. If you already have kidney disease, don't drink alcohol, because drinking alcohol will affect the body's nitrogen balance, increase the decomposition of protein, and inevitably increase the burden on the kidneys. Studies have shown that long-term smoking will cause damage to glomerular endothelial cells, and the risk of increased urinary protein excretion of smokers is much higher than that of non-smokers

Don't use drinks instead of water. Most people don't like the lightness of boiled water. They like to use carbonated drinks such as cola or drinks such as coffee and fruit juice instead of boiled water. However, the caffeine contained in these drinks often leads to high blood pressure, which is one of the important factors that damage the kidneys. The metabolism of these drinks in the body will increase the burden on the kidneys.

4. Don't eat herbs indiscriminately. Acute renal failure caused by eating strange foods such as snake gall or grass carp gall is not uncommon. Many people are curious for a moment, and even blindly take traditional Chinese medicine for aphrodisiac. Unfortunately, I have kidney disease. See a nephrologist. Eating herbs indiscriminately can only accelerate the deterioration of the disease, miss the opportunity of treatment and lead to serious complications.

5, a reasonable and healthy diet, eating more fruits and vegetables is good for health, which is the concept of ordinary people, but for patients with chronic kidney disease, fruits and vegetables, which are usually considered to help naturally lower blood pressure, contain high potassium components, and long-term consumption will cause damage to their renal function. At the same time, we should also limit the amount of protein. People ingest a large amount of protein from animals and plants, and the final metabolites such as uric acid and urea nitrogen need to be eliminated by the burden on the kidneys, so overeating will increase the burden on the kidneys.

6. Avoid drug abuse. Many drugs and chemical poisons can cause kidney damage. Studies have shown that long-term use of painkillers (such as cold medicines and general painkillers), improper use of aminoglycoside antibiotics, and long-term and excessive use of Chinese herbal medicines containing aristolochic acid can slowly cause renal function damage and interstitial nephritis.

7. Controlling salt intake is an important culprit to increase the burden on the kidneys. 95% of the salt in our diet is metabolized by the kidneys. If we eat too much salt, the burden on the kidneys will increase. In addition, sodium in salt will make it difficult for the human body to excrete water, further increasing the burden on the kidneys. Scientific salt intake should be controlled within 6 grams per day, of which 3 grams can be obtained directly from daily food. Therefore, salt should be kept at 3 ~ 5 grams when seasoning food.

8. Be careful when you are pregnant? Kidney? Pregnant women will increase the burden on the kidneys, so it is best for women to check whether they have kidney diseases (sometimes they don't know, such as chronic nephritis and lupus nephritis) before pregnancy. If they have kidney disease, please consult a kidney expert as soon as possible so as to get pregnant. Otherwise, blind pregnancy may lead to rapid deterioration of kidney disease, leading to renal insufficiency.

9. Kidney disease? Western medicine kidney deficiency? Kidney disease? Use Chinese medicine? Kidney deficiency? Are two completely different concepts, and there is no direct connection. Male sex hormones are secreted by testis; Women are secreted by ovaries, especially male and female kidneys can be transplanted to each other, indicating that there is no direct relationship between kidneys and gender.

10, regular renal physical examination, regular renal examination. Routine urine test and blood pressure test must be done once every six months. Because the incidence of most kidney diseases is hidden, there are often no obvious symptoms in the early stage. Therefore, the process of kidney damage is unconsciously carried out, so it is likely that by the time the body feels unwell, it has reached the middle and late stage of kidney disease (renal failure).
