Observe whether the urine protein is within the control range, which can be clearly understood by urine test. Including urine protein index in routine urine examination and 24-hour urine protein quantitative determination. In addition, during the treatment, many kidney friends often observe whether the urine is getting better. Urine foam? Urinary vesicles indicate that there are a lot of leaked protein, which causes great urinary tension.
However, the indicators of some patients seem to have dropped, but there are still many bubbles in the urine. What's going on here?
Generally speaking, urinary protein is not completely controlled, and urinary protein still exists one after another, but it is not as serious as a large amount of proteinuria (quantitative above 3.5g). However, if a small amount of protein still leaks into urine for a long time, it will still cause damage to renal function.
In this case, how to adjust?
Eat less high-protein food. When there is a large amount of proteinuria, although the overall urinary protein level can be controlled by timely medication, the therapeutic effect will be discounted if the intake of high-protein food is not restricted.
In particular, the inflammatory reaction of the kidney has just been controlled. At this time, the glomerulus is damaged, which leads to the increase of basement membrane permeability, and more high-protein foods are blindly leaked, that is to say, as much as they are eaten, they are rarely absorbed, and the role of supplementing nutrition cannot be achieved.
Therefore, patients with proteinuria should take a small amount of high-quality protein, which is easier to digest and absorb and will not increase the burden on the kidneys.
Different kidney friends have different degrees of sensitivity after eating high-protein food. Some patients eat more meat, urine foam will increase immediately, while some kidney friends eat meat and drink milk within the prescribed intake every day, and urine protein will not increase. Therefore, to stabilize proteinuria, kidney friends should adjust their daily intake of protein according to their own situation.
If the edema is not serious, drink plenty of water. Some patients with urinary protein are not accompanied by severe edema, and there is generally no big limit on the amount of drinking water. Because there is protein leakage in urine, renal tubular absorption is reduced. If you drink less water, the urine volume will decrease, the urine will be concentrated, and the urine protein per unit urine volume will increase. Therefore, in order to reduce the pressure of glomerular filtration and renal tubular reabsorption, it is recommended that kidney friends consume at least 2000 ml of water every day. It is more helpful to relieve the situation of urine foam.
However, some patients have a lot of proteinuria and finger edema, so pay attention to water intake.
Preventing colds, autoimmune diseases and other infections is a situation that exists in many kidney friends. Leading to more prone to kidney disease and the most frightening infection. Cold is one of the most common upper respiratory tract infections, which is mainly related to poor immunity. Infection can cause inflammatory reaction, and then destroy glomeruli and other tissues, leading to an increase in urine protein.
Therefore, kidney friends should consider improving immunity from the beginning of discovering diseases. Some patients said, I am sick, how can I improve my immunity? But it is because of my illness that I know that my immunity is low and I can say that I am making progress.
Improving immunity mainly depends on daily diet management and physical fitness. Pay attention to nutrition in diet, eat more meat, vegetables, fruits, nuts and whole grains, drink more water, and don't eat too much. Keeping healthy is simple. Keeping proper exercise every day will not only help to improve the body's resistance, but also kill two birds with one stone by improving blood pressure, blood lipid, obesity and other indicators that are unfavorable to the kidneys.
Proper exercise can also reduce urinary protein. Many people will wonder, won't exercise lead to more and more urinary protein?
Of course, you can't do strenuous exercise, but you can do some moderate exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging and aerobic exercise. It can not only enhance immunity, but also promote blood circulation. After kidney damage, poor filtration function will lead to slow blood flow and accumulation of toxins. Proper exercise in the early stage of nephropathy is helpful to dredge blood and promote toxin metabolism. The burden on the kidneys is reduced, and the urine protein can naturally drop steadily.
