Question 1: How to eliminate the possibility that leg edema in the elderly may indicate kidney disease? Kidney tissue is an important organ for human body to excrete water. When kidney disease occurs, the ability of the patient's kidney to excrete water decreases, which leads to the imbalance of water circulation in the body, and the water in the body cannot be excreted smoothly for a long time, causing edema, among which leg edema is one of its important manifestations. So leg edema may be a sign of kidney disease. Leg edema of nephropathy is aggravated after fatigue and relieved after rest, which often appears after eye swelling and facial swelling. In the early stage of nephropathy, patients are often not accompanied by leg edema, but only mild eyelid edema, which belongs to recessive edema; Generally speaking, after the patient has a rest, mild leg edema will be relieved or disappeared; The leg edema is serious in the lower limbs and ankles, and it is concave when pressed with fingers, and even edema will appear all over the body. If you suspect that it is renal leg edema, you can go to a regular hospital for routine urine examination, and at the same time, you can do renal function examination and renal B-ultrasound examination, which is helpful to judge whether there is a problem with the kidney and check the possibility of renal disease in time. First, observe the urine to judge whether the kidney is healthy. Urine protein: there are urine bubbles that will not disappear for a long time, indicating that there are more proteins excreted in urine. Routine urine examination is helpful to further clarify whether it is proteinuria; Urine color: the urine is strong tea color, meat washing water sample, soy sauce color or turbid. Urine volume: Too much or too little urine. The average daily urine output of normal people is 1500ml, 4-8 times a day. If you don't have a fever, sweat a lot, drink plenty of water, etc. The urine volume suddenly decreases or increases, so it is necessary to check the renal function. Nocturnal urine: Normal people generally do not have nocturia before the age of 60. If young people have increased nocturia, it is likely to be an early manifestation of renal insufficiency. Second, whether there are symptoms of low back pain. If there is unexplained back pain, it may also be related to kidney disease. Third, whether it is weak. In addition, there is whether blood pressure rises and appetite declines. Leg edema is not necessarily related to nephropathy, which can be non-pathological edema or other types of pathological edema. Non-pathological leg edema Idiopathic edema: After getting up in the morning, these people often have mild edema in eyelids and face, and edema or tightness in finger pits in lower limbs. With the activity, the edema gradually lightens and subsides. It may be related to mental stress and autonomic nerve dysfunction. Reactive edema: this kind of edema mainly occurs in people who work in high temperature or are obese and inactive, and edema of hands and feet often occurs. Edema can subside by itself after summer, but it can recur every summer for many years. * * * Edema: standing, walking, squatting or sitting for a long time can cause edema due to blood circulation obstruction and blood stasis of lower limbs. In * * *, edema can be relieved and subsided by itself after a period of time. Premenstrual edema: Some healthy women have mild edema on eyelids, back of hands, ankles and even legs one week or half a month before menstruation. When menstruation comes, edema will subside on its own. Drug-induced edema: improper use of testosterone, androgen, insulin and other drugs can also lead to leg edema, which will gradually disappear after stopping the drug. Pathological leg edema cardiogenic edema: often caused by heart failure caused by congenital heart disease, myocarditis, pericarditis or pneumonia, nephritis, severe anemia and other heart diseases. Generally, edema of lower limbs is the main symptom, accompanied by dyspnea, tachycardia, hepatomegaly and thickening of jugular vein. Hepatogenic edema: Edema first appeared in both lower limbs and then spread to the whole body. Severe cases can also be abdominal edema, such as severe hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer and so on. According to the patient's past medical history and related examinations, a judgment can be made.

Question 2: What should I do if my feet are swollen? We can't talk about treatment until we know the reason. If you stand for a long time, for example, when the surgeon is undergoing major surgery, when the traffic police are on duty, when the counter is open for business, or when the hairdresser is off work, you will feel the swelling of both lower limbs. That's because standing for a long time makes venous reflux worse, and raising the affected part after full rest will improve this situation. In fact, there are many diseases that can cause edema of lower limbs. When edema of lower limbs occurs, the first thing to check is that edema only appears on one side or both sides. If there is only one limb edema, the probability of renal insufficiency is quite low, because even if the kidney function is not good, the urine produced by it can not be discharged normally, resulting in water retention in the body, and its influence is mostly bilateral, and it will not selectively only cause edema of the left or right lower limb. On the contrary, if edema is caused by vascular problems, it will mostly occur in the affected side, such as deep vein thrombosis, and the affected lower limbs will be edema, not just edema symptoms. The skin surface is red, but there is no local temperature increase when touched. If the heart function is poor, such as congestive heart disease, the myocardial contractility is not enough, so that the blood stays in the peripheral blood vessels and the lower limbs are far away from the heart, which is usually the most likely to cause edema of the lower limbs. This is because the venous blood stays, the blood flow is slow, and the blood pressure rises, forcing the water to run outside the tube. Taking drugs that enhance myocardial contraction to improve blood circulation will also improve edema. When the liver is not good, edema of the lower limbs will also occur. For example, the common clinical manifestations of patients with liver cirrhosis are yellow face swelling, paunch and edema of lower limbs. The yellowing of the face is due to bile retention and the increase of biliflavin in the blood, so it is deposited on the face, skin or sclera. When the liver loses its function, it also loses its ability to make albumin. Albumin is an important factor to maintain the pressure inside and outside blood vessels. When it is lacking, the water in the blood vessels will go outside the tube to organize. Lymphatic gland obstruction can also lead to poor lymphatic reflux and edema. For example, because schistosomiasis invades lymph glands and causes obstruction, not only the lower limbs are swollen, but also the scrotum is swollen. Fortunately, this situation is rare in clinic. In addition, malnutrition and severe protein loss can reduce albumin in blood, leading to edema. When this situation is serious, it may even cause systemic edema, not just edema of lower limbs. By the way, edema means that water stays between tissues. For example, when the lower limbs are edema, besides swelling, the skin of the affected part is tight and shiny. If you press it by hand, there will be a skin depression, like a concave hole, which will take a long time to bounce up. This situation is different from edema caused by tissue swelling or inflammation caused by trauma. Except for a few concave holes, it also hurts to the touch. From the above, the causes of edema of lower limbs are not limited to kidney factors, but also other dysfunction such as heart, liver and vascular circulation. When edema occurs, we should first check whether there is a decrease in urine volume, and then do renal function tests, such as blood drawing to see whether blood urea nitrogen and creatinine are normal, ultrasound to see kidney size, renal cortical thickness or effective blood flow, 24-hour urine volume and inulin clearance rate, and renal filament ball filtration rate. If these tests are normal, we should actively look for other possible reasons. Once it is caused by renal insufficiency, we should look at the causes, such as chronic pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, long-term bilateral kidney calculi complicated with urinary tract obstruction, or renal artery stenosis, renal vein embolism, tumor and other factors, and then perform internal surgery to treat edema according to the causes to rule out the possibility. Never eat diuretics or other remedies indiscriminately, so as not to delay your illness, get out of control, or even get away with washing your kidney. Drink plenty of water at ordinary times. How to treat edema? If edema is caused by diseases of liver, heart, kidney and other organs, it is most important to treat the primary disease first. Some elderly people suffer from arthritis. Knowing that edema is caused by drugs, they are afraid that "the kidney (kidney) is broken" and would rather endure the pain than take medicine. The doctor reminded that the edema caused by the side effects of drugs can be improved by adjusting drugs or adding a small dose of diuretics, and it is not necessary to give up eating because of choking. If it is constitutional edema, most of them don't need treatment, and the doctor will give some suggestions on life. For example, wear elastic socks and eat lightly, because eating is too salty, and the sodium in the food will keep water in the body and raise the calf before going to bed. Abuse of diuretics or seeking prescriptions will cause a burden on the kidneys. & gt

Question 3: How to quickly eliminate leg edema? If there is too much water in the body, or if the water metabolism is not good, swollen legs will appear.

Question 5: How to quickly reduce swelling of foot edema? Apple weight loss method ① Eat only apples for three consecutive days, and don't eat other fruits and foods. You can eat apples according to the time of three meals, or you can eat them when you are hungry until you are full. Any kind of apples will do, but red apples are the best. Green apples are sour, so I'm afraid they will upset my stomach. Apples should be eaten fresh, washed and peeled to avoid pesticide residues. During these three days, when you are thirsty, you can drink boiled water or tea without sex, such as mint tea, wheat tea, safflower tea and houttuynia tea. During weight loss, your stomach will be very sensitive, so avoid drinking caffeinated drinks, such as black tea, coffee, green tea and oolong tea. , to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort. ⑦ If constipation occurs during apple weight loss, you can drink one or two spoonfuls of olive oil to moisten the intestines on the third night to promote the excretion of toxins accumulated in the body. After dieting for three days and losing weight by apples for three days, your stomach will become tender, your taste will become sensitive, and your stomach will become smaller because you stay away from sex food. Starting from the fourth day, your diet should be slowly restored. Don't eat a lot of food at once, especially don't eat snacks. In the first three days of resuming diet, it is best to start with porridge and tofu. In short, when you resume your diet after losing weight, the food should be light and not excessive, so that the effect of losing weight will last. Apple's weight loss is equivalent to a general cleaning of the digestive system of the body. If you are really fat, it is impossible to get back into shape if you want to be an apple to lose weight. It is best to do it once a month or two until it is reduced to the ideal weight. Five reasons why apples can lose weight ① Because of the decrease in food intake, digestive organs such as the stomach and intestines can recuperate. During dieting, by eating less or losing weight regularly, the digestive system can rest, restore its original function and operate normally. (2) Apple can improve the function of kidney or stomach, expel waste gas in the body and purify blood. It can excrete blood stasis (old blood), feces (old feces) and water poisoning (the cause of edema) in the body, and the body becomes healthier. (3) Apple's weight loss reduces the calorie intake of the human body, and the insufficient part needs the accumulated calorie supply in the body. The so-called heat accumulated in the body is fat. When the excess fat in the body is consumed, people will naturally become thinner. (4) Obese people are almost always overeating, which makes their stomachs swell and can't control their appetite. Apple diet can make the stomach contract, and after losing weight, the appetite becomes easy to control, and the taste becomes normal, and you don't like sex food or greasy food. ⑤ Apples can promote the production of white blood cells in the blood, improve the body's resistance and immunity, and at the same time promote nerve and endocrine functions, which is helpful for beauty.

Question 7: How to quickly remove leg edema? Preferably within a week. 4 steps * * * Eliminate leg edema

1, the key position of blood dredging in lymph nodes on both sides of pubic bone, gently press with your fingers until you can feel fever in this part, and the time is about 1 min.

2. Hold the ankle with both hands and press it with both thumbs, starting from the front of the ankle to the position of the knee, and repeat at least 5 times.

3. Bend your legs slightly, press your hands above your knees, and press your thumb from above your knees to the root of your thighs. Repeat at least 5 times.

4. Starting from the outside of the knee, lift the muscles above the knee with two thumbs, and then use the thumb to relieve the edema above the knee.

Four habits to prevent edema

1. For people who stand or sit for a long time, they must get up and exercise within 30 minutes or *** 5 to 10 minutes. Exercise can also prevent edema, and regular jogging or brisk walking is an effective way to prevent edema.

2. When the seasons alternate, be sure to keep your legs warm. Especially in summer, hiding in an air-conditioned room in shorts, it is best to cover your legs with a blanket.

3. Develop the habit of soaking feet every day. Soaking feet can not only relieve fatigue and stress, but also speed up the blood circulation of the whole body. When soaking feet, hot water must not reach your ankles. At the same time, you can add some essential oils that can remove edema. The best time for soaking feet is 30-40 minutes.

4. Eat more high-quality protein such as chicken and fish. Because insufficient intake of protein may weaken the function of controlling water proportion in the body, too much water will lead to leg edema. In addition, eating sweets as little as possible will not only lead to fatty obesity, but also increase water in the body and increase the incidence of edema.
