Why do the four highs hurt the kidney? According to a survey conducted by the national medical service system, one in every 10 people in China over the age of 20 suffers from chronic kidney disease! Dr. Zhang Ruiting from the Department of Nephrology, Guangxin Hospital reminded that kidney damage is cumulative, especially chronic diseases such as hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia are high-risk groups of kidney disease. Remind people to pay attention to their physical condition, treat them as soon as possible and use drugs correctly to avoid kidney diseases. Kidney is one of the organs in charge of body metabolism, which excretes toxic substances, excess water and electrolytes from the body mainly through urine to maintain the balance between body fluids and electrolytes. Once the renal function declines, it will lead to the accumulation of excess water, salt and toxins in the body, leading to health disorders. According to the national health administrative department 10 1 adult preventive health examination statistics, the proportion of normal renal function in people with hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia is only 64.6%, which shows that the higher the "three highs", the worse the renal function. But why do three highs cause kidney damage? Why do the four highs hurt the kidney?

But why do three highs cause kidney damage? Dr. Zhang Ruiting explained that for diabetic patients, if the blood sugar in the body is too high, it will easily lead to vascular diseases and proteinuria, which will lead to inflammation, pathological changes and even necrosis of renal blood vessels. If it is not controlled in time, it will easily lead to renal function damage. Hypertensive patients often have adverse consequences such as increased renal pressure, renal sclerosis and renal atrophy due to hypertension. In particular, high and low blood pressure will increase the burden on the kidneys and aggravate the degree of renal arteriosclerosis. These kidney injuries will also raise blood pressure and form a vicious circle. If the blood lipid content of hyperlipidemia patients is too high, it will easily lead to chronic inflammation of blood vessels, even arteriosclerosis, embolism and other serious consequences, and may also affect renal function. Dr. Zhang Ruiting added that in fact, in addition to the above three high problems, high uric acid is also one of the hidden concerns for the kidney! When uric acid is too high occurs in the body, problems such as uric acid nephropathy, chronic nephropathy and uric acid calculus are easily accumulated in kidney tissues, which is also one of the common risk factors of kidney diseases. The kidney is one of the important metabolic organs of the body. Dr. Zhang Ruiting reminded that if there are four high problems, we must actively seek medical treatment, use drugs correctly and continue to follow up, properly control the condition and reduce complications. In particular, the symptoms of early kidney disease are unknown. If it is not well controlled, once the condition worsens, it may lead to irreversible damage. Don't be careless For questions related to kidney diseases, it is recommended to consult the Department of Nephrology.
