Kidney disease is often caused by "delayed" treatment. If the body shows 5 symptoms, the kidneys are already seriously damaged.

Kidney disease, the general types of kidney disease include nephritic syndrome, nephrotic syndrome and renal insufficiency. For kidney disease patients, they must pay attention to observe physical changes in daily life. Once the following 5 manifestations appear, it means that the kidney disease is already serious and needs to be checked and treated in time at the hospital.

1. Obvious back pain

Clinically, many patients with kidney disease will experience back pain in the early stages of their illness. Many people think that this is just due to overwork or simple lumbar muscle strain, and do not take it too seriously. However, when kidney disease continues to develop and worsen, it will damage the patient's kidneys, causing the patient's body to experience obvious back pain. Therefore, if patients often experience back pain in their daily lives, they need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner.

For patients with early kidney disease, since the kidney function has not fully recovered, they may experience discomfort in the waist, which is soreness and pain in the waist. As the disease progresses, the patient's waist pain will become more and more severe. In severe cases, there may even be severe pain, which may even affect normal work and life. However, some people with kidney disease do not have obvious symptoms of back pain. This is because these people did not pay enough attention in the early stage and thought that they were just overworked or simply had lumbar muscle strain. If the treatment time is delayed, the condition will become more and more serious. Therefore, for these people, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

In clinical practice, many kidney patients suffer from severe back pain symptoms due to excessive work pressure or maintaining the same posture for a long time. For this group of people, they must pay attention to the combination of work and rest in daily life. For example, do not sit or stand for a long time at work, and do some exercise to relieve the pressure on your waist. If you feel obvious pain symptoms at work, you can do some local massage to relieve the pain. If the patient cannot have a massage for other reasons, you can also use a hot water bottle to relieve the pain, so that the symptoms of back pain can be effectively relieved. In addition, you should also pay attention to maintaining good work and rest habits and eating habits, and avoid eating greasy and spicy foods for a long time, so as not to aggravate the condition of kidney disease.

2. Body swelling

The most common symptom of kidney disease is edema, but some people ignore this symptom because they often have symptoms of edema in their bodies, which leads to further development of the disease. Some patients will find that their face and lower limbs are swollen after getting up in the morning. This is one of the most common manifestations of kidney disease, which is what we often call "morning face swelling." Many patients find that their face and lower limbs are swollen after getting up in the morning. If they are not treated in time, whole body edema will occur over time, and finally the patient will suffer from severe malnutrition, anemia, heart failure and other symptoms. There are many reasons for edema in the human body, such as sleeping too long, eating too much protein food and some medicines, and some bad living habits can also cause body edema.

For patients with poor kidney function, if they are not treated in time or the progression of the disease is not controlled, it will cause edema in the body. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to observe the changes in their body in daily life. When we press the skin with our hands, the skin will become sunken and it is difficult to return to its original state after finger pressure, which means that the kidneys have been seriously damaged. If you press the skin lightly with your fingers, obvious dents will appear, which means that the kidneys have been diseased. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to observe whether there is edema in their body in daily life. If this happens, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Once you find that you have edema in your body, you must pay attention to it. Don't delay it and cause the disease to develop further. Generally, only regular treatment can control the progression of the disease.

3. Abnormal urine volume

The main function of the kidneys is to help the body filter impurities and toxins from the blood, and then excrete these substances through urine. So when the kidneys are damaged, the body's metabolic function will be affected, resulting in abnormal urine production and excretion. Abnormal urine volume includes two situations: less urine volume and more urine volume. The reasons for these two situations in different types of kidney disease patients are also different. Nephrotic syndrome is mainly manifested by decreased urine volume, which is common in types such as nephritic syndrome, acute tubular necrosis, and acute renal insufficiency. This situation usually causes a large amount of protein loss in the body, which causes a large amount of plasma protein to enter the urine, resulting in a decrease in urine volume; while acute tubular necrosis and acute renal insufficiency will cause serious damage to the kidney's filtration function, resulting in a significant decrease in urine volume.

Patients with nephrotic syndrome may also experience increased urine output. If the patient does not have the habit of drinking a lot of water before, and suddenly finds that the amount of urine has increased significantly in a short period of time, or even urinates more than ten times a day, then you should be alert to whether it is nephrotic syndrome. At this time, the patient usually feels thirsty, weak, dry skin and other symptoms. If the situation is more serious, acute renal failure or uremia may occur.

4. Excessive foam in urine

Normal urine mainly contains some water and inorganic salts, which can keep the urine at a certain viscosity and will not fluctuate too much. When the metabolic capacity of the kidneys decreases, these proteins will be excreted from the body with urine, forming foam. When patients with kidney disease urinate, a large amount of foam will appear, which is mainly due to the high protein content in the urine. Therefore, when the kidneys are abnormal, we must pay attention to it. If the increase in foam is caused by proteinuria, then you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

**5.** Physical fatigue

When kidney function is abnormal, it will affect the body's metabolism and detoxification functions, causing patients to experience symptoms of fatigue and lack of energy. When the kidneys are damaged, metabolic waste in the body cannot be excreted in time, causing patients to experience symptoms such as general weakness and mental depression.

6. Life precautions

In addition, patients with kidney disease should pay attention to the following things in their daily lives.

1. Maintain good work and rest habits: do not stay up late, do not drink alcohol, do not eat spicy and irritating food, etc.

2. Don’t take medicine randomly: Many people buy some health care products to save time. However, do not take some health care products on your own without the guidance of a doctor.

3. Maintain a good mood: Many kidney disease patients will have psychological problems to varying degrees, so you must maintain a good attitude and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment.

4. Pay attention to a healthy diet: eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid bad eating habits such as overeating.

5. In daily life, patients with kidney disease must participate in more outdoor sports and physical exercises, because this can enhance their physical fitness and improve their immunity.

6. Patients with kidney disease must develop good sleeping habits in daily life, because adequate sleep can help us restore our physical strength and enhance immunity.
