In A Dream in Red Mansions (The Story of the Stone) witten by Cao Xueqin, Jia
Baoyu says that women are made from water. This is a good comparison which not
only shows that women are as beautiful as water, but also tells us that women
are weak and easy to get diseases. Then what are the specific reasons for women
to get Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD)?
I. Women have poor immunity compared with men.
Because of this, there may cause some immunologic diseases in women such as Immunotherapyic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), Dermatomyositis. In addition, they
are the group of people who are easy to get cold and infection and as such,
which are inducing factors of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
II. White-collar women are easy to get CKD due to their work environment.
White-collar women have to stay in an airtight room with air-condition, which
will lead the decrease of their immunity little by little. Because in such an
environment, the harmful elements in the air are too much, such as carbon
dioxide, toxic dust, each of them is capable to lead kinds of diseases including
CKD.
III. Sentimentality is harmful to kidneys.
Young women in modern society have to suffer great pressure from many
aspects, such as relationships in colleagues, work burden, and their emotion
problems. Different from men, women are always of sentimentality and are easy to
be hurt by these problems. As long-term depressed mood can make the body
secretes kinds of toxins, especially in those with poor immunity, women are in
high risk of getting diseases. And if timely treatment has not been given, the
disease may develop into CKD.
IV. Taking too much health care products may also cause renal disease.
Too much health care products with high-protein and nutritions can increase
the burden of kidneys and sometimes cause proteinuria(Proteinuria and Kidney Disease); this is the so called
overnutritio. As for the CKD sufferers, their proteinuria may be aggravated.
V. Infection commonly occurs among women.
As women have a broad and straight urethra which directly connect with the
bladder, the occurrence of Cystitis and Urethritis is very high, leading to
Nephritis which is an omen for Chronic Kidney Disease. According to this, women
are of high risk of CKD.
These are the five factors which can cause Chronic kidney disease without any sign.
People can always avoid the disease if they form healthy habits in their daily
life, for example, open the window frequently to have fresh air, drink enough
water every day, pay attention to the elements in health care products, and keep
in a steady mood. Thus we can do our best to stay far away from any kinds of
diseases including kidney disease, and live a long healthy life.
