Original title: Hangzhou woman had diarrhea and was found to have uremia! It was actually related to an oversight during pregnancy 10 years ago

> Ms. Zhao from the west of the city is 32 years old. She got married at the age of 24 and gave birth to a lovely son. They should have been a very happy family. But when she had diarrhea, she never thought it was uremia.

Ms. Zhao, who works in a shopping mall, is not very busy at work and usually pays more attention to physical care. Ten years ago, she suffered from gestational hypertension due to pregnancy and has been taking medication to this day.

But one day not long ago, she suddenly started to have stomach pains and had watery stools. She had urination 7-8 times a day and had nausea and vomiting 4-5 times. She thought she had eaten something unclean, so she went to Hangzhou Xixi Hospital for treatment.

> Dr. Cui Gongzhen, who treated her, found through examination that Ms. Zhao did not have a simple intestinal disease. Her blood potassium exceeded the standard, which is a very abnormal indicator.

Because blood potassium is metabolized by the kidneys, if blood potassium is high, it is most likely because of kidney problems. So Dr. Cui checked Ms. Zhao’s liver and kidney function. After an investigation, it was discovered that Ms. Zhao's creatinine was 1327 μmol/L (normal female: 44-97 μmol/L), and urea was 32.4 mmol/L (normal: 3.2-7.0 mmol/L). After detailed medical history, she was initially diagnosed with stage 5 chronic kidney disease, which is often referred to as chronic renal failure, and he must be treated with hemodialysis immediately.

As a result, Ms. Zhao was sent to the ward and immediately underwent hemodialysis treatment, and her condition began to slowly improve.

Li Huili, chief physician of the general internal medicine department of the hospital, told reporters that chronic renal failure refers to a clinical syndrome consisting of a series of symptoms and metabolic disorders caused by various kidney diseases that lead to progressive and irreversible decline in kidney function until the function is lost. The end stage of chronic renal failure is often referred to as uremia.

After careful analysis of the patient's condition, Director Li ruled out factors such as genetics and immune system diseases, and finally considered it to be related to the pregnancy at that time. Ms. Zhao's prenatal checkup 10 years ago revealed high urinary protein and high blood pressure. At that time, Ms. Zhao only paid attention to high blood pressure and ignored abnormal urinary protein. Unfortunately, over the past 10 years, acute renal insufficiency has slowly developed into chronic renal failure.

Uremia is becoming younger, so young friends, stop using your youth as a health asset. Director Li reminds everyone that if you have symptoms such as yellowing or white complexion, swollen ankles and eyelids, poor appetite, dysgeusia, nausea and vomiting, easy fatigue, fatigue, decreased urine output, etc., you must pay attention and go to the hospital for relevant examinations as soon as possible. Almost all kidney diseases can be manifested by abnormalities in urine routine, so urine testing is required in time.

Director Li said that to protect the kidneys, in addition to regular inspections, you should not hold back your urine, drink more water, eat a light diet, reduce salt intake, avoid drug abuse, long-term use of large amounts of analgesics, not smoke, and drink less.
