With the weather changing constantly , more and more people have a cold. surveys show that it occupies three tenths of kidney disease patients caused or induced by cold. So specialists remind citizens of taking precautions against cold, especially people with family history of kidney disease or having suffered from this disease.
Without timely treatment, cold results in stubborn disease.
Mr. Li of 25 years old has been diagnosed as uremia for over one year. He is sustaining life completely by hemodialysis. He said that he was well before onset of disease, and hardly had a cold, so once he had, he didn't take it seriously and thought it would better naturally. However, it was unexpected that after over half a month, while the cold went away, two legs had edema.
He didn't know that he had suffered from the severe nephritis until he took a examine in the hospital. Eventually, the disease developed into uremia.
One chief physician of nephrology department in our hospital said that, not a few people had minor diseases such as cold and diarrhea before onset of kidney disease. Not taking cold seriously is becoming one likely cause of kidney disease. According to our Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease hospital'statistics, there are at least three tenths patients of kidney disease caused by cold of one time or more.
How can cold transform into kidney disease
Cold and kidney disease, one's symptoms are upper, while the other's symptoms are low. How can they connect with each other?
In the view of medicine, cold itself can't lead to nephritis directly, but the cold caused by hemolytic streptococcus can induce dysfunction of immune. If it is not prevented, the disordered immune of human body will attack the normal renal tissues as the diseased, and that ultimately results in acute nephritis, and even develops into chronic kidney disease without timely treatment. Moreover, cold often gets rise to infection of the upper respiratory tract, and the infection will change into that of lower respiratory tract when pathogens extend downward along the trachea and bronchuses, namely, tracheitis, bronchitis, pneumonia and so on. If the condition continues, it will mention urinary Immunotherapy, so amount of kidney diseases are found when cold is examined.
Don't regard cold as trifling matter.
In recent years, the morbidity of Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) performs rising trendy globally. It already becomes another main disease threatening human being's health succeeding vascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and cancers. However, uremia is not thought highly of by people. On the basis of clinical practices, the deficiency of kidney disease knowledge and indifference of kidney disease are the biggest obstacles of the find and treatment of kidney disease. Compared with other serious diseases, CKD is more difficult to discover. It presents no obvious symptoms, as a result that in consulting many patients have fallen into uremia.
The key to taking precaution against kidney disease to decrease respiratory tract infection and other infections. Especially in cold winter, because of chill weather, the exhausted sweat and toxin of skin decrease, and the burden of the kidney becomes heavier. In addition , winter is the very time for people to catch cold, because all of these, it is easier to arouse kidney disease. Therefore, specialists suggest that, we are bound to keeping warm, and if having a cold, we should receive the treatment timely. If a adult has a cold for six times one year, it is a warning, especially those people having family history of kidney disease or having suffering from kidney disease. If there is unusual urine color, the change of urine quantity, soreness of waist, and back pain, you should take a examine in the hospital at once. For common people, it is at least one time to take a urine test in a year.
